This is my post for #freewriters Sunday prompt witchcraft hosted by @mariannewest

Yesterday my oldest daughter and her two adult children took me to the Cemetary so I could place the Angel that I put together for my Mom on my brother's graves.

After doing this we went to the inlet where Mom wanted her ashes in the water. I had asked my granddaughter to build me a paper boat, I named it Moms Last Ride. I put some of Mom's ashes in it and we sent it off with the tide.

We each threw yellow roses behind the boat. It looked like the boat was going to go to the shore but somehow it turned and headed for the middle of the inlet. Even though we threw the roses at different angles and distances, they all fell in right behind the little boat like they were placed there.

My husband snores so loud that I do not sleep with him any longer. I sleep in a recliner in the living room and sometimes I can hear him even with the bedroom door closed. Anyway, I woke a 5 am to go pee and when I stood up, the tv came on. My first thought was that I fell asleep with the remote in the chair with me. I searched the chair and it was not there. I looked at the table where it is supposed to be and there it was. I do not like to think that it was some sort of witchcraft but maybe it was my Mom telling me how pleased she was with what I did for her.

Thank you, The boat was a last-minute thought and I knew my mom would love it. I was so pleased when the little boat turn to go offshore, it was headed right for the dock and shore where people were fishing and it was like God's hand gently turned it. Then it was sitting in an eddy going nowhere until the roses got behind it and started going again with the tide. It was truly amazing to watch. I was so touched by the entire thing. 😇

Wow! That TV moment must have been scary.
But, I agree that after that beautiful gesture by the inlet, it makes sense to read it as a possitive feedback from your mom (may she rest in peace).
These kinds of things, like the boat and the roses aligning, sort of, is what makes us believe that there got to be something out there. We just wished it were more consistent; it tend to be random, or at least, we perceive it that way.

I like to think that there is more out there than we know, it does my heart good to think she tried to send me a message.

I think your mom is pleased because you all did what she requested.

That snoring must be annoying I hope in a way you can have a good night rest (nose plugs might help?).

Found the remote control?

I do not think he would wear nose plugs. I have tried every type of earplugs, I even tried sleeping with my head at the foot of the bed. Finally gave up and moved to the recliner, with a bad back, I sleep better in it than on a bed. Yes, I found the remote, it was sitting on the table, there was no way that I could have touched it. It was eerie until I thought of Mom, then I smiled and had a good feeling.

I bought the plugs for my child. Always a hard time to breath because of allergies. Tried them myself but what I bought is painful I can tell you that.
They say it's because of sleeping on the back. Am not sure if this is always the case.
At first the children shared a room now the boy sleeps alone. It's better for us I can tell you that.

If you sleep better this way it's a good choice.

Since the remote control was on the table you have a good reason to smile. 💖
