Is it just me, or do you also look for "signs" after losing someone?

Ever since I lost my mum, I’ve found myself suspiciously staring at butterflies, random birds, or feathers on the ground whenever they show up at a weirdly meaningful moment.

The other day a tiny bird just sat near me for five minutes, and I actually found myself whispering, "Mum, is that you?"

I know how crazy it sounds. But if talking to a butterfly gets you through the afternoon, honestly, who cares?

What’s your "mum thing" (or parent thing)? A rainbow, a dragonfly, a stray coin, or something totally random? Have you ever had one of those moments where you just paused and felt them there?
