thank you for all of your love and good thoughts.
my uncle passed away this morning surrounded with love.
i talked to my mum, she has been so grateful that she could spend the last few days of his life with him. she sat with him and his son and daughter, and they all shared their stories of his life. they laughed a lot, cried a little. they teased him that next time he came back he would be a big vegetarian (he loves eating meat). he spoke a little about what he wished he had done differently, so they all sang frank sinatra "regrets" to him. he said he was a very lucky man. he was very much at peace when he died.
i just went and sat in the paddock. made a little altar with my tiny copper buddha, some crystals and some sacred incense i got when i was in malaysia. then i went and walked around with the ibis birds for a while. i found myself standing in a huge circle of their feathers. there was dozens of them. it was special.
and i was just thinking how i wanted to send rainbow thoughts out
to touch him on his journey,
and to all of my family... my mum, my granny, my cousins, my siblings ~~~
and i went outside and took this photo, and didn't even see until i put it on the computer...
can you see it?
the smiling rainbow?
(off to nap and be gentle... there is still a bit of pain in the peace...)

Oh, my dearest Leonielove, I'm so sorry for your loss. Holding you gently through your grief...always in Love and Light, Kat.
I am so touched by your words and sharing. I send you gentle softness, new fresh air to take into yourself, and arms to hold you.

i'm sorry for your loss my sweet friend. his passing does indeed sound peaceful, full of warmth and even laughter. that is how i would want it to be.
i DO see the smiling rainbow and it gave me chills and brought on tears. what a beautiful way for him to reach out to you and you to him, and you will have this forever.
i know you will be gentle with you...and that Chris and Charlie will wrap you up in their love.
i am here if you need me. i will not push, as i know you need quiet and space but i am here if you need me.
i love you.
Leonie, you are in my thoughts and prayers today as is your extended family. Today is a day of life celebration for me as well: five years ago today, my father passed away. I was there with him, holding his hand when he passed from this life to the next one. I wish I could be with you holding yours. I wish you rest, gentleness, peace, tears, hugs, and comfort. Much love, Gail
Thinking of you and sending you warm, supportive vibes across the universe.
Super big hugs :)

leonie,

this is so hard...and i am so sorry that you are your family are experiencing this. my heart reaches out to you my dear.
and the rainbow...incredible! it reminds me of the IZ version of it's a wonderful world and somewhere over the rainbow. (do you know that song - the poignant beautiful voice of IZ)...
What a beautiful sign. My uncle passed away this past August and when I was driving home from the hospital after he died the clouds looked just like that. I didn't see a rainbow smile but I saw many other things that made me feel at peace inside. Thank you for sharing.
