spirit world ....afterlife * 4
    #21753436 - 06/02/15 04:01 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

I typically don't frequent this forum...but there is something that has happened in my life recently that belongs here.
I'm gonna try to make a long story as short as possible without watering down it's context....here goes:

My father has been sick for some time with a small cell cancer mostly around his lungs...getting progressively and, in the last few weeks, rapidly more debilitated. Pop was my favorite person on earth and, even though, he lived in another state, I spent every weekend with him during his illness. He had to be moved to a hospice about a month ago and as the cancer got worse, it moved into his brain and stopped his speech.

I had a vacation planned the week before Memorial day with my 2 sons and another friend to go fly-fishing in upstate Pennsylvania. This is a trip that would include my father on every other year for the past 30 years....Of course, this year, he would certainly not be able to make it. My sons left for the mountains after spending some time with me and dad at the hospice on Friday night while I stayed until Saturday and spent the morning with him ...saying my goodbyes and telling him old stories even though I din't know if he heard them... because I doubted he would make it through the week. He was barely conscious and even when he opened his eyes....it was a fixed stare.

I left about 1:00 Saturday and headed to the cabin, which was in an area that has no cell phone service....you literally have to drive to the top of a mountain to get a signal. Sunday morning I got a bad feeling while on the creek and decided to drive to the mountaintop to check my messages....My sister notified me that dad had passed around the moment I had that feeling...The hospice nurse had called her early in the morning and told her that he was getting near....so, she got as much family as possible to go to the hospice where pop passed while surrounded by most of my family.

I returned to the cabin and let my boys know...I asked them what they wanted to do...and, we all decided to stay another day and fish the creek that my father loved the most. About 6:00 that evening we were fishing this long, slow hole and I noticed a reflection directly in front of me in the calm pool that I was fishing....It was odd because it looked like a rainbow, but it hadn't been raining. I looked up at what was causing the reflection and immediately  had to sit down when my eyes met its source...i was stunned. Before me was the most beautiful rainbow that I had ever seen in my life of 55 years. Each end touched a different mountain as it arched directly over this creek that my father loved so much.It had the thickest bands that I had ever witnessed and every color in the spectrum was present. It was simply breathtaking. I could do nothing except simultaneously laugh and cry...the rainbow lasted a full 20 minutes.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this was a wink from God and dad letting us know that things are just fine and not to feel sadness for his absence...that he is in a far better place than we could ever imagine. Here is a photo that my friend took of the rainbow.....you be the judge.

Very nice testimony and I think it was a sign that everything is ok and your father is in a wonderful place. I also believe that rainbow is more than light going through water.  I saw a rainbow few months ago and I got emotional cause it was telling me something like: everything is beauty, never be afraid, you are a wonderful being of light etc and I felt that God was smiling to me. After that I have been seing heaps of rainbow lately  and it gives me a pleasant sense of peace

tibetan buddhists view a rainbow after someone's death as a very auspicious sign :smile: it's like they're smiling down on you to let you know they're okay :smile:

Your father as he was has become unmanifest and has moved on to manifest something else which is all that he is too. He might even have become that rainbow itself, for a moment, to comfort you in your loss.  Only God knows where he is now, or what he is now but HE IS. And as he was, he will be again.

Have faith.

Love.

Me and my buddy would always fish. I would always catch small fish and was content with it! I would use simple bait and technique and would get some little fish. He however always wanted a giant shark or something. We were beach fishing, and he never caught anything. He would use these artificial lures that never worked.

The day is mother died he was so depressed he went fishing. He ended up catching a shark bigger than his body :pokerawe:
