1st experience was during a very sad time...I could smell him...his smell surrounded me...I recognized it immediately.  2nd one is I wrote him a letter to get my feelings out on paper and put in on my dresser and I went to bed.  The next morning the letter was moved across the room...I think he wanted me to know he read it.  3rd on is I believe he came us as a butterfly. He was coming to the glass doors over and over to get our attention and we all came outside and the butterfly stayed.  We all talked to him and told him we love him.  The butterfly stayed outside our door for 8 hours and did not leave.  That night it left and we never saw it again.  But I know it was him...giving us a sign that he was still here and he was okay.
