Mom & Dad Are Near
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

I awoke to a message,
Being whispered in my ear ~
“Cry not, our precious daughter,
Your Mom and Dad are near.”

My room was filled with sunshine,
My spirit drank up the Light.
Sadness slipped away from me,
~For all would be all right.





Love is the unifying force which integrates
one’s soul with that of another.
~ Linda L. Dowd

Thank you all for reading and replying to my poem. With the recent passing of my Mom and Dad, I have been rather emotionally depressed. However, spiritually and mentally, I remain fairly strong. This morning's message that I received on arising, has added Light to my spirit and fluffed up my proverbial wings!

Loving Light,
EA

Hello Linda~
First may I say the picture took my breath away.
Oh yes..your parents are very near.
In fact, just as close as walking into the next room.
They want you to know they are just fine
and you will be too.
Heart hugs~Nancy

(angel friendship comfort hugs) Oh Linda, we've all been thinking ever so much about you the past month, and I know with all my heart that your parents loving spirits will forever guide you and that their smiles are etched deep in your heart forever, so they will never be gone from you! (hugs) God Bless You, dearest friend, your mother and father are not only always near, their loving light is always here, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

The loss of a loved on is a pinprick in the heart that will forever remain. Your words are as Immortal as a picture, and can last forever like their spirits.

Remember this poem when you hear their names and see their faces. Your parents would be Proud.

Ohhhhh!  Sometimes dreams are the only way we hear what is true, and they can be more real than this waking dream.  May you continue to feel their love and joy, Dear One.  

Hugs,
