Dragonfly, and other glimpses

There is a saying that when you see a dragonfly, it means angels on earth.
I sure hope so. My sister lost her husband and son and her best friend all to cancer, in the last couple years. For Brian it hasn't yet been a year since he died. He was 32, married, 3 kids. All 3 were good people, Clyde loved my sister dearly with all his heart, and Jeannie was always there for my sister.
In December during a particularly sad day, we saw a dragonfly. I believe with all my heart it was Brian, letting us know he is still close.
On Friday last week we found out my mom is terminal, cancer in both lungs and liver. Prognosis is very limited time for her to be yet on this earth.
On Monday 04/20/09 again there was a dragonfly flitting around the shop. Again, I believe it is Brian, telling us that the ones we lose are forever close by, in our hearts and thoughts.
I am trying my best to keep my spirits up and a smile on my face but at times, it is so hard.
