She was always very tuned in to nature, and often deer came into her yard to eat the vegetation. She told me that they flew down the driveway, and I believed her! She would say, "I tell you, if we went away for two hours and left the doors open, when we came back the house would be FULL of animals!" After she passed, as much as I miss her, I realized that she was not longer confined to her physical form, and I began seeing her everywhere and in everything. I would laugh when I saw experienced something she would have found amusing, and I appreciated things twice as much, as if I were now seeing them for her as well. I think your family in all your wisdom and grace is already completely tuned in to these truths. God bless you all. Thank you for accepting all that has been placed on your path, and for serving as such graceful. brave, kind, and loving examples for us all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621529041443323750.post-12992265734795682612009-06-29T15:27:14.712-07:002009-06-29T15:27:14.712-07:00Unfortunately, I never had the pleasure of meeting...Unfortunately, I never had the pleasure of meeting your Pablo, but my son did.

If deer spirit catches your attention it is to encourage you to face difficulties with gentleness; Don't push too hard. You should allow loving and tenderness to assist in completing your tasks.<br />Celtic Lore has both Hind (small, female deer) & Stag representations:<br />Hind represents Subtlety, Gracefulness & Femininity (not necessarily female). Concentrating on Hind will soften your heart, open you to the healing feeling of love.<br />Stag stands for Pride, Independence & Purification. If you feel the strength of the Stag's protection, you will also feel the gentle way he moves through difficult situations.<br />Source(s):<br />Medicine Cards.

Much love to you all.<br /><br />Sighting deer is very special to me. I've never thought about the significance until you mentioned it in your post. I do believe its a sign of life. While I've seen my fair share of deer, the most memorable was while I was hiking alone in the canyon and cliffs over Sedona, AZ. I was walking to the highest point that overlooks the valley after a very painful time in my life. I was sad. Angry. Hurt. I was in the middle of a 4th step too. On my way to the top there was a lone deer. We both stopped in our tracks, as we were both in each other's path. We stood there for what seemed like an eternity, staring at each other. The deer eventually moved on at a comfortable pace. That day, on top of the peak, I had what I consider the greatest, most memorable spiritual experience of my life.<br /><br />All my love,<br />RayRaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621529041443323750.post-38255779510923095852009-06-29T07:28:31.706-07:002009-06-29T07:28:31.706-07:00Dear Jeff,

I read his blog last night and haven't been able to think of much else since. I am so sorry for your loss. Six years ago we lost our son three weeks after he was born to a random virus. His doctors compared it to the chances one has of being struck by lightening. The outpouring of support we received from friends, family and strangers really helped our healing process. I can tell from this blog what tremendous support is there for you. Pablo has touched so many people. Thank you so much for sharing his journey. My thoughts go out to you, your family and friends. <br /><br />Love, <br />Julie UnderwoodJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06580733297167905325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621529041443323750.post-76787923487935298052009-06-29T07:26:30.726-07:002009-06-29T07:26:30.726-07:00Deer-Gentleness
Deer...so gentle and loving you a...Deer-Gentleness<br /><br />Deer...so gentle and loving you are.<br />The flower of kindness and embrace from afar.<br /><br />One day Fawn heard Great Spirit calling her the top of Sacred Mountain. Fawn immediately started up the trail. She didn't know that a horrible demon guarded the way to the Great Spirit's lodge. The demon was trying to keep all the beings of creation from connecting with Great Spirit. He wanted all of Great Spirit's creatures to feel that Great Spirit didn't want to be disturbed. This would make the demon feel more powerful, and capable of causing them to fear him.<br /><br />Fawn was not at all frightened when she came upon the demon. This was curious, as the demon was the archetype of all the ugly monsters that have ever been. The demon breathed fire and smoke and made disgusting sounds to frighten the Fawn. Any normal creature would have fled or died on the spot from fright.<br /><br />Fawn, however, said gently to the demon, "Please let me pass. I'm on the way to see Great Spirit."<br /><br />Fawn's eyes filled with love and compassion for this oversized bully of a demon. The demon was astounded by Fawn's lack of fear. No matter how he tried he could not frightened Fawn, because her love had penetrated his hardened, ugly heart.<br /><br />Much to demon's dismay, his rock-heart began to melt, and his body shrank to the size of a walnut. Fawn's persistent love and gentleness has caused the meltdown of the demon. Due to this gentle ness and caring that Fawn embodied, the pathway is now clear for the Great Spirit's children to reach Sacred Mountain without having to feel the demons of fear blocking their way.<br /><br />Deer teaches us the power of gentleness to touch the hearts and minds of wounded beings who are trying to keep us from Sacred Mountain. Like the dappling of Fawn's coat, both the light and the dark may be loved to create gentleness and safety for those who are seeking peace.<br /><br />If Deer has gently nudged it's way into your cards today, you are being asked to find the gentleness of spirit that heals all wounds. Apply gentleness to your present situation and become like the summer breeze: warm and caring. This is your tool for solving the present dilemma you are facing. If you use it, you will connect with Sacred Mountain, your centering place of serenity, and Great Spirit will guide you.<br /><br />From the Native American Medicine Cards<br /><br />Love,<br />CarrieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621529041443323750.post-861598811689056922009-06-29T07:23:55.978-07:002009-06-29T07:23:55.978-07:00I had a magical moment at Doctor's Park in Mil...I had a magical moment at Doctor's Park in Milwaukee... Jeff you know where, on that grassland on the bluff over Lake Michigan. One deer, right in the middle of it. Looking at me and my dog, time stood still...and then she deer actually played with us for a moment before she bounded off in time, and I fell back to earth. I always go there when I'm in Milwaukee, I went there so many times after we lost Rae Ellen and Allen's Dad. What I'm trying to say is YES! I know what you mean about the deer, and time and beauty and love and sadness.
