| The butterfly I saw in my mother's garden the day after her death |
'Proof of Heaven' is not the best book that I have read on the subject, but I wanted a book to give to my sister, who witnessed the blue butterfly with me on the day, and who is a bit of a skeptic when it comes to life after death, unlike myself.
Another weird thing was that I found a recent interview with Eben Alexander over at the 'Connecting with Coincidence' podcast site that was released a week before my mother passed away, but I watched it on You Tube about a week after my mother had passed, at about the same time that I had started reading the book ... as I remember Bernie spoiling the ending for me when I was listening to the podcast, as to who the woman on the butterfly in the afterlife was.
The blue butterfly wasn't the only sign I saw after my mother passed, as I saw a lone sparrow as soon as I stepped out of the hospital after my mother had passed, and while I didn't take that as a real significant sign at the time, even though it did catch my attention at the time enough to mention to my eldest son who was with me at the time that I hadn't seen a sparrow since I was in Melbourne in 2016.
And I am a keen watcher of birds that hang around me, so I know when a bird is a rare sighting for me, such as this sparrow was, and I see as a bird that was very common in my childhood to spot, but not anymore for me for some reason.
Then when I was up at the Buddhist temple the other night for Chinese New Year's eve I saw a painting that bought a tear to my eye of two sparrows in a tree.

There was also a painting of a Sacred Kingfisher, a bird I have not spotted again in the wild since the one that hit my window over a decade ago.
And there was a painting of another bird, with some significance to me from my trip to Singapore last year, watching a blue butterfly:-)
