Mary Emma McCraw

 

On March 22, 2008, a little red bird flew to my side during the darkest moment of my life – I had just received the news that my sister Mary had lost her life. I was standing outside in the breezeway of my home, lost in grief when a beautiful red cardinal landed on the shrub in front of me. He took my breath away; he was such a vibrant sight. For a moment, my pain disappeared. The very next day I flew to Texas to prepare for my beautiful sister’s wake. As I was driving down the main road to the funeral home I couldn't believe what was flying right next to me. Not one, but two beautiful red cardinals, racing me to the home. The little red bird was just the beginning to the many signs and synchronicities that showed me that there is more after this life and there is more all around us.

On this day 11 years ago...... you left this earth and a piece of my hear broke.  But then you sent this little red bird to comfort me and remind me that all my cries are heard.  You've never left my side, I know that now and for that I am grateful and will continue to share your love with the world to spread hope and inspiration in this knowing that there is much more to life when we leave this earth.  

Thank you for being my angel and connected to my soul.

Always and Forever,  Yours truly ~ xoxo

 

Never forget

👼Today is a very special day.  It's the day I celebrate my Mary ❤️!  10 years ago she became my lil angel - whose heart radiated a light as bright as the sun.  She is and always has been my shining 🌟 star!  My dear sister, my dear friend!
She may be gone from Earth but she is very much a part of me everyday.   Showering me with amazing signs and love from above, strengthening my faith, keeping me strong. 
Thank you everyone for loving and celebrating Mary with me!

I will never forget the moment the little red bird came to me (3-22-2008)....... This was the beginning to the amazing journey I call my life today. My heart was shattered and my world was full of pain, but it wasn't long after that my faith was confirmed and I learned what really matters most. I live with this knowledge everyday and because of this, I smile from pure happiness, straight from my heart! I feel like I have a secret and want to share this with the world so we can all be happy.....

Mary to Cherish - EVERYWHERE

Mary was cherished on this very special day yesterday! 3-22-14....Since she's been gone,  so much magic has happened, which has confirmed my faith (and many others), which has given me more purpose and meaning to my life than I can explain.  We all decided to let lavender balloons go in memory of her.........

Celebrating with Lavender Love

In honor of Mary's loving life and what a blessing she was to me and so many others, I'd like to cherish her memories and send her love by releasing a lavender balloon tomorrow!

Hard to believe tomorrow will be 6 years.....

Thank you Mary for confirming my faith and giving me so much even from your heavenly home ~ I love you forever my sweet sister attached to my soul!

Mary Day

I have decided that this day is the official  

"HONOR and LOVE Mary Day"!

March 22nd, 2013 - 5 years ago today Mary left the earth but never our hearts.

She is here, there and everywhere, continuing to shine her light through me to YOU!

To honor my Mary, every year I buy a new lavender candle for their healing powers.
Did you know that there are healing powers in Lavender?
We all know lavender is a wonderful aromatic for everything from hair to sheets but it is also a great source of healing.
The herb eases muscle pain, but lavender can help many physical and even mental ailments.
Lavender is generally used in two forms, as an herb and as an essential oil. In herbal form, it is ground up and made into tea. But lavender’s oil is its claim to fame.

I also buy my Mary some flowers on this day - I always make them yellow or lavender. I chose yellow because they remind me of Mary - Now I know why! After googling what yellow flowers mean - I instantly found this:

Per Mary M. Randall (LOL - of course its a Mary)...The yellow flower color meanings are that of cheerfulness, enthusiasm, truth and clairity and are understandably associated with sunshine or rays of light.

Well.......this year I decided to do something different:  I'm going to buy a red balloon and let it go!  I've shared this with my friends, family and soul sisters and am amazed at theabundance of loving support.  My FB page has blown up with red balloons and so much love!
