Today is my mother's birthday. If her soul was still on the earth plane, she would be 101 years of age. 101! A full century! Though she passed from the human world when she was 95, I can still feel her "presence" all around me. She's pops in on me from time to time, to frighten, scold, or give me comfort. It doesn't matter that she has no human body anymore. Her spirit is still going strong, and she's still doing what she always did--"mothering" me.
Sometimes, but not as often, I can feel my Dad's presence. He pops in to give me pointers on the mechanical things of life. My car, problems around the house that need fixing, lawn mowing and landscaping, etc. Sometimes, I can tell Mom's right beside him--just like she was when they were living their human life together. Other times, he comes alone, but doesn't stay long. I think he's anxious to get back to Mother's side.
I know that birthdays come and go, and most of them are unspectacular, but when I think of Mom passing her time on the other side, she looks young again to me, like the photos in our family photo albums. That thought makes me think she is putting that vision in my head to remind me that time is a "human" word--not a spiritual one. I think she wants me to remember that our human, physical bodies are only temporary, but that our time in the spirit world is everlasting. Without an aging body, our soul is able to be any age in the spirit world--young, middle-aged, elderly--you name it, we can be it.
So on what would be my Mom's 101st Earth birthday, I say...Happy Birthday, Mom. I miss and love you, and I'll see you again down the road. (Not quite yet, though. I still have some lessons to learn here in the human world. As soon as they're finished, I'll let you know to come pick me up!)
