Next- Exactly 24 hours after they removed my aunt from my home my smoke detector went off.  I raced down stairs in fear of fire. There was nothing. It was 3:50am. I could not get the alarm to shut off and had to physically remove it from the wall and remove the battery. Freaked me out. Overwhelming sense of my aunt. 

Next- Day of her funeral.  After her funeral, I was watering plants on my deck. Out of the corner of my eye I saw movement.  Flying parallel to me was a butterfly. It flew directly in front of me and turned flew towards my face touched my lips an fluttered and then flew back to the course it had been on turned and flew into the near by woods.  I was kissed by a butterfly. 

Next- same day but at night.  Son (my aunts favorite) and I were sitting on the front porch.  I saw a toad hopping across the lawn and pointed it out to my son.  The street light allow us to see the frog.  The next thing we heard was rustling around in the leaves next to the porch. My dog was so interested as to what it was that she went over to investigate.  Sniffing around.  All of a sudden the frog we saw hopping towards us across the lawn started singing.  EVEN with the dog sniffing around. It was loud and the first frog I had heard in the spring.  NEVER heard on in the front yard only the back near the pond.  When I called to the dog to come, as I did not want it to hurt the singing frog it stopped.  My son turned to me after hearing about the other things that happened and said, "It's another sign." 

Next, a bird flying on my small front porch. Odd 

My favorite smelling flower is gardenias.   When walking by the chair my aunt sat in I distinctly smelled gardenias on two separate occasions.  Another time was in the back yard as I was entering my sliding glass door.  I have no gardenias. But I know and love the smell.  It only lasted for about three good whiffs and it was gone.
