The Sign 8:18

I have read several posts from greiving parents who talk about how their loved ones have given them sign to let them know they are near or that they are ok.  Sometimes it's a feeling of them near, a scent, a song, or something that signifies their near.  I've spent hours reading about different ways that "spirits" reach us.  Is it spirits of our loved ones? Is it an angel?  Or is it God?  

I was getting extremely disappointed that I haven't recieved one of these signs.  Why hasn't Tommy let me know that he was ok?  Is it becasue I am not paying close enough attention?   Is it because he is not ok?  I begged for something, any type of sign. 

I was with my husband and Mike (Tommy's bro) last night and we were in a place of business getting a memorial piece done for my husband.  We were talking about Tommy becasue the last time we were in this place of business was with him and we had some good laughs.  When our friend was starting the piece, Cory asked me what time it was.  Simple question.... I picked up my phone and told him it was 8:18.  He looked at me and said, "really?  8:18? That has some significance".  Then it hit me!  8:18 was the day Tommy took his life.  I knew and felt instantly that Tommy was with us.  I don't understand why he waited until that moment to give me a sign but I know it was him.  The last memory I had of him there were good memories.  Maybe it was his way of telling me to keep focusing on the good times we had together. 

I miss him so much but have always known he would be near and watching over us.  Tommy never left my side, he is with me always in the memories, in the quite moments, all the time.
