Genre: Family & Tragedy

I'm Severina Arcanine and the story I'm about to tell you will be unbelievable to some. My mother, Seraphina Arcanine died of meningitis when I was only 2 years old, on February 15, 2000 at around 12:30 pm. It was a very tragic and sudden death, and understandably so, greatly affected my dad who loved my mother very much and my brother. We recently shared the 16th anniversary of her passing.

On that day, my dad, my brother and I set off to the cemetery to visit her's and other deceased family member's graves, at around midday. We arrived at her grave just before 12:30, bearing in mind that this was the time of her passing, and had just a few minutes of silence. I had just began to rain, in the middle of a cold, yet sunny day.

No. sooner had it started, it abruptly stopped 30 seconds later, leaving us a rain bow in the distance, over the hospital in which she died. The rainbow lasted for a minute, and disappeared just as suddenly as it appeared. My dad and I believed it was the minute in which my mom would have passed away.

Whether this was a sign from mom or not, I believe it was too much of a coincidence to have happened by chance. And it has strengthened my belief in some form of life after death, I am overjoyed by this experience, as I believe it has proven my mom is happy in heaven, waiting for us to join her one day.

I looked to my dad and saw that he was looking up as well, but he had a gentle smile that reached his eyes for the first time since mom died. I looked up once again but this time I had a smile on my face. Me and dad, felt a gentle breeze blow by us, as if caressing us, my dad and I knew that it was mom sending us a message that she is ok and is watching over us.

End.
