I lost my only child Jason suddenly on 1/3/13.
I recently have had an experience with a dragonfly which I will elaborate, but was wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences after losing a love one.
First, This spring we planted a small tree in our backyard as a memorial to Jason. At its base I placed a round blue glass symbol of a dragonfly.
My husband and I had a vacation in Maine on Kezar lake the week after 4th of July. The second night there after dinner we sat on the dock to watch the sunset. We had just settled in our seats when a dragonfly came by flying around then settling about 1 foot from us on the dock. The dragonfly stayed the entire time we were there in the same spot. I said to my husband,that is Jason.
I knew that it is believed a dragonfly holds the spirit/soul of a loved one who had passed and the have comeback to let you know they are ok.
I had not thought much more about it until this past Friday. I was having a hard week missing Jason extra hard, talking to him in my mind.
Friday around 1 pm I let Jason's dog out in the backyard. It was a nice day and I decided to sit in one of the bar chairs I had just bought for my husband. One of the last projects Jason did was to help my husband build a low deck with a hot tub on it. Jason loved the hot tub. For Father's Day I bought this bar set to go next to the hot tub.
I wasn't there more than 5 minutes when this beautiful blue dragonfly appeared and landed on the corner of the chair across from me. It is a good thing our back yard is private. I started talking to it. I said Jason ? It is you, do you like the new chairs ?
It continued to just sit there. I said you have wings, the dragonfly then started to fly around me doing all these dips and soars. It hovered right in front of my face. Then it sat back on the chair.
I was there for a long time, when I said I have to go now. I put my hand out and said come say bye for now. It landed on my hand then flew off.
Sunday around 1:00 pm we had just come back from shopping and I saw the blue dragonfly out the window. Excitedly I said to my husband Jason is back come out in a minute.
I sat in the same chair and it landed right in front of me. The hot tub was open, today, it kept flying over it and landing on the start button.
My husband came out and the dragonfly landed right in front of him. The grill had its cover off too. The dragonfly kept going over to it and landing on the handle. Jason was the griller and this was the new one he wanted us to get. Then another dragonfly appeared and they danced in the air together. I said you have a friend. The other dragonfly left and Jason sat on the bar in front of us. Again I said I have to go and it landed on my hand then disappeared.
I hope today around 1pm my dragonfly will appear again.
What do you think ?
