Aw, Lux, you had me going there!

Anyway, I do believe in an afterlife, though I think it's a really vague term that means different things to different people. My Mom wouldn't want me to share the details on a message board, but just let me say that we feel pretty certain that some of our family members who have passed on contacted us shortly afterward, and sometimes I think they continue to do so. So, I do think that your mom might have been trying to tell your family that she's okay, Brian. I believe that that's possible. I'm not the most spiritual person and I don't really believe in God other than one that might have created the world and that's the extent of it, but I do believe in the human spirit, and I also believe that love survives death into eternity, so I think that your mom could be watching over all of you, wanting you to know that she's okay and wanting to help you all cope.

I like looking at people's banners. They're decorations and ways of showing that we're devoted fans. Why not? I was thrilled about my Stevie & Christine banner when Mikki made it for me. Besides, some of us are supporting Ledgies so why wouldn't we have the privilege of displaying banners and such?
