52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2024: Week 38 (SYMBOL)
After the stepfather who raised me passed away in 2010 my mom was positive he was visiting her in the form of dragonflies.
About 6 months after he died they held a memorial at his favourite fishing lake for a small group of friends.
During the memorial the bottle of Fireball came out along with shot glasses.
Whenever dad went fishing Fireball was brought out to give thanks for the fish they had just caught OR to encourage fish to bite if they hadn't caught anything.
When a shot glass was placed on a rock for dad at the lakeside memorial a dragonfly immediately landed on the edge.
That dragonfly stayed throughout the entire memorial, and appeared to be listening to all the stories being shared.
From that moment on mom looked at dragonflies very differently.
Before mom died in 2015 she told me she would visit me as a dragonfly, and that when I saw 2 together it would be her and dad.
From that moment I looked at dragonflies differently.

In 2021 I had my nose pierced in memory of my mom, and got a dragonfly.

You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!
