Today May 18th was Kory&#8217;s birthday. I miss him more than anyone can understand. I am so grateful for my special gift to talk to him on a regular basis and know of his happiness. It still does not replace the hollow, empty feeling, but peace and hope pull me through. I was blessed with a special dream \u00a0a couple of weeks ago. It was a dream about Kory. I love these dreams. He just wanted to come say &#8216;Hi&#8221; to his family. He gave us all a big hug. I love seeing his good looks with his shy smile and gentle spirit, I am reassured that one day I will get to touch and hold him again in a sweet mothers embrace.<\/p>\n<p>It is also Sweet Oliver&#8217;s birthday. My little Yorkie. He is one today.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I have been on quite a journey visiting family and introducing my book. I wanted to wait to do my next blog until today. \u00a0I felt it was appropriate to have my Huntsville book signing today on his birthday.<\/p>\n<p>Introducing my book has been an amazing experience. \u00a0Everywhere I go I seem to get into conversations with people about the book, about Kory and how I have dealt with his loss. I find myself reassuring many people I do not even know until that moment. A door opens and they share their experiences. It has been so comforting. Everyone has been wonderful and supportive. I pray that I am able to continue to share Kory&#8217;s story with others and maybe they can find a token of peace and maybe some answers they were seeking.<\/p>\n<p>We are spiritual beings and respond to such. I have had to reevaluate my feelings about having a spiritual gift. \u00a0It was funny because since my last post, I found out some information about a distant relative that has made me look at things in a different light. I have never been able to explain my visits or the sense of the spiritual I feel. I just feel a connection, but I have always felt it my whole life, and I do not know anything different. I just thought everyone felt that way. Well, my mother gave me some information that one of my great grandmothers and her mother had what they referred to as &#8220;the gift.&#8221; I guess they could communicate and see things from the spirit realm and maybe more. \u00a0I will like to meet these ladies one day. Our posterity can be interesting and we have a connection with them like no other way.<\/p>\n<p>I want to emphasize that I do not exercise the ability to talk to anyone that has passed on but Kory. I have never tried and I do not intend to. \u00a0I know from which source my communications with Kory come from and I trust them. I cannot guarantee other sources so &#8220;I just don&#8217;t go there, ever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I know that through my experiences we can find peace and happiness no matter how hard the trial.<\/p>\n<p>I would like to share with you an article that was written from my Pocatello book signing from the <a title=\"Idaho State H Journal Article\" href=\"Hello Kay:  I received your message onTuesday and left you a voice mail.
