On september 2nd this year my mum passed away, i was working at the time i had the phone call to say she'd been admitted to hospital some 120 miles away.
I was stood in the garden with the person i look after who has the latter stages of Multiple Sclerosis another cruel disease,he is only 36yrs old and can't do anything, but his mind is allert. Just before my mobile rang i said to him wow, look at that a little robin just above us on the telephone cable going to his house. I said that's the first robin i've seen this year, he blinked his eyes as a form of communication so i know he had heard the robin singing as it was above us and he couldn't look up.
I took the news and very tearfully explained that i would have to find another carer to replace me as i needed to go a.s.p. He has 24/7 nursing care as well so i called out to nurse who was in kitchen to say that i needed to go right away.
The robin didn't move just kept on singing right above us. I received another phone call from my sister 15 mins later to say that mum had passed away, the robin was still there singing away, he/ she wasn't going anywhere. My husband arrived to take me to my mum but it was too late.
I went home to fall apart. The next day i sat at the table looking out over our garden with the french doors wide open as i was smoking and as i looked out so a robin came to the door, i just sat and watched as he/she did back, just as my husband appeared the robin flew off before i had time to tell him.
I met with my sister 3 days later to see my mum in the chapel of rest, not what i expected. She looked like an angel, all the stress had gone she looked so much younger, if anyone out there has ever seen this? She looked like my mum used to look so many years before the Alzheimers had taken hold. I was frightened before i went in, but when i saw her and said my farewells i wasn't fightened anymore, she was truelly at peace after so many years of suffering this awfully heart renching illness.
I told my sister later about the visits from THE ROBIN, to which she replied ,what ? She said she had, had a dream 2 nights previous that we were attending mums funeral, and as we were walking behind the coffin, a robin flew out from the tree and landed on the coffin, ,and all we were looking at was this ROBIN and my sister said our mum isn't in the coffin , she's here ,look, when she told me this the hairs stood up on the back of my neck. I had not told her anything about this until i saw her.
How strange is that?
Since the day my mum passed away, whenever i'm in my own garden, or, the person i look after whenever i think of mum, i surely will see a robin!!!!! It happens every time and i'm not kidding it often takes me by surprise, but, i'm getting used to it.
EVERYBODY THAT I KNOW THIS YEAR HAS HAD A CHRISTMAS CARD WITH A ROBIN ON IT!!!!!
But untill NOW only me and my sister know why!!
And just to top it off when i visited mum and dads grave to put a christmas flower display on it only yesterday, the grave just in front had a headstone on it with two robins engraved either side at the top, i hadn't noticed my sister pointed it out!!!!!
I would love to hear from anyone who has had an experience such as this or similar or even different if you know what i mean
MINE IS THE ROBIN!!!!! Love to you all louise xxxxx
