Do You Believe?


 
What Do You Believe?
 
 
How many times has something happened in your life and you said
"What a coincidence?"
 
In my life I have come across that feeling on many occassions, but my thoughts
about that have changed. You see I don't believe in "coincidence" anymore.
Things just don't happen by luck, I think there is more to it than that...
much more.
 
 
 
Some of you may read this and think "She's crazy",
and some of you may not even believe in coincidence at all.
Then there will be some of you who for whatever reason
will agree with my way of thinking.

 
Let me introduce myself~I am a woman, a daughter, a wife, a mother...
I am a sister and an aunt, I am also a grief survivor.
I am 37 years old, I work at an average job and make an average living.
I basically lead an average life. I am not a religious person although
I do believe in God and Heaven.
 

You see, I have been on a journey, I am sure many of you reading this
are walking along side of me. It's a painful journey but a necessary one.
When I began my journey I met a lot of people along the way,
mostly greiving mothers like myself. Some I found and some found me,
but it's the finding eachother that has brought me to this belief.
I no longer believe that the similarities of 2 lives could be
nothing more than luck or "coincidence". This had been a thought of mine
for some time, but until now it wasn't clear to me.
I believe everything happens for a reason, good things and bad things.
 
After my daughters death I started my search. I was in search
of someone exactly like me. I thought if I could find another mother
going throught the same thing as me she would understand
completely and know exactly how I feel.
So, while visiting a Children's Memorial site I came across a list of names.
I chose a child, a little girl whose birth and heaven dates
were close to Theresa's and then I clicked on her name.
After reading Sara's story the first thing I thought was
"What a coincidence".
Her story was so similar to Theresa's. Sara had died just 5 days
before Tee-Tee, she was a few months younger and the most amazing
part was that Sara's mommmy, Michele, shared the same birthday as me.
Coincidence? I don't think so.
When Michele and I talked about it we would say that
Sara and Theresa got us together. I believe that to this day.
I honestly believe that Angels somehow guide us where we need to go.
I think Angels have played a significant roll in the lives of the people they touch.
I don't know if God instructs them or if they move about their own families
as if they are still here, that part remains a mystery.
