I spent the afternoon with my mom and sister as we have done every year since his passing, often with various other family members, but always the 3 of us, even when I lived 550 km away (350 miles). \u00a0It is kind of like our pilgrimage to pay homage to a great man who filled our lives with great love, laughter, and friendship. \u00a0I am continually touched by stories that people share with me when they find out who my dad was and it touches my heart deeply as well as his since they are always with us.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"ctl00_cphMain_phExtra_ctl00_ctl00_ctl01_ctl00_ctl17_imgTheImage\" class=\"narrow alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/images-blogger-opensocial.googleusercontent.com\/gadgets\/proxy?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwp-media.beliefnet.com%2F~%2Fmedia%2FF9645FEF665047F5AE51CB88521B0832.ashx&amp;container=blogger&amp;gadget=a&amp;rewriteMime=image%2F*\" alt=\"Heart-shaped rainbow lights\" width=\"351\" height=\"263\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Our loved ones are always a part of us when they cross over to the other side and journey home. A part of them is always connected to us through the energy of love and it is okay to miss their physical presence, but they are always with you when you call their name. \u00a0Even though I still communicate with my dad and give him jobs to do for me from the other side, I still miss his physical presence. I can feel his energy, more with my heart than my physical\u00a0body, but I can still feel him. I still miss him. And, he sends me signs back to let me know he hears me and is doing his best \u00a0&#8220;behind the scenes&#8221; work yet. I still miss him. (I will share some of his signs back in upcoming articles).<\/p>\n<p>Your angel guidance is to remember that your loved ones are still a part of you and your life. They are like your shining guardian angel and they still have your back. You are not alone on this journey, even in your darkest hour, and that you are dearly loved for doing this human journey and forgetting your own true light, beauty, and \u00a0magnificence to remember who you are.<\/p>\n<p>Archangel Arzael is one of the angels who can help you connect with your loved ones on the other side.
