Wow, thank you so much for this beautifully written response. I truly appreciate you taking the time to read through my post, and your heartfelt words.

Yes, I think those rainbows were definitely a message from my mom. I feel her presence often... I describe it as that feeling when you're at home and there's someone in another room - you can't see or hear them, but you can feel that they are there. It feels very different from being home alone. When you have such a close bond with someone, I think you are tuned to their energy, and can feel it in ways that others might not.

All of this has certainly pushed me to live a more authentic life, and to not take anything for granted.
