Hi mattycmyru, yes I do still talk to my mum ,usually when in the garden at crematorium. She passed in 1983. So I tell her I've brought her flowers & kids now grown,  dog left in car as not allowed here. I am sure many people do the same. This year told her might be there sooner as BC. Mostly I speak these words in my thoughts, as not to alarm others. It does us good . Hope you get out meet people & not too much of the dessert. Pip

thank you for yuor reply. i havent been here for a while as guess what . my mumdied

Yes, all the time! And she is listening and I will give you an example - everyone is going to think I am mad but I don't care because it happened and this is as true as I am sitting here.

I live in China and I moved to a new city and I am part of a bank which has six branches in a city the size of the whole of Merseyside and I needed to find a branch so one day, I decided to go and find it - I didn't know where the hell I was going but I asked mum to help me find this bank because I had no clue where I was going to find it so I got on the bus outside work for the two hour ride into town - this is how big this place is so I thought I will stay until the end of the line but something told me to get off this stop about 50 minutes in - so I did... and as I did something told me to cross the road and go down this particular road so I did...

And I was saying out loud (I probably looked a bit mad but nobody was paying any attention because they probably though I had some kind of earpiece phone in which helps with conversations with my mum...) 'are you sure' but the insistence was there and I was going to turn back but no - there was a feeling to keep carrying on down this street and as I was shaking my head thinking what a waste of time it all was - there was a branch of this bank!

Now some people might say 'well, that was just a coincidence' and maybe it was but I asked mum for help and she gave it and I found this bank in a massive place and had no idea where I was going - similar things have happened to this when I have asked my mum for help with problems she comes up with advice - also, what is very interesting that inner plagues within my mind that used to bug me have now gone - for me it proves that they watching us and looking after us - why wouldn't they? 

Keep talking to her - keep asking for advice and you'll find she will help you out. She isn't as far away as you think.
