I was sitting at my computer viewing perfumes on eBay as I usually do. On the right side of the table, a couple of feet away was my son's neon flash sparkle toy. The toy suddenly rolled towards me and touched my hand and there was nothing prompting it. I always ask my mom to give me more signs of her never ending love for me and my dad and son. After this happened, I told my dad and my son who were in the other room when it happened, and they completely believed me because this is not the first time we have received signs from my mom. I felt so happy and that she really is not that far away. I know she is in Heaven with Jesus, but I am so honored that she takes time to still show my family that she is always with us and that our family's love and ties will never die. One day we will all be together once again, but until that time, these signs are what I have to go on.

            Please explain why you view the reality of your experience as real or not real:           I am very in tune to the spiritual realm, and I always ask my mom for more signs- they may not come right away, but they do eventually happen.
