Jason Edward Posluszny

   Since Jason’s left us, extremely amazing things have happened with signs.   We’ve all experienced very specific, deep, and personal levels of events that seem too specific, too coincidental, and just too damn weird to be random. The biggest sign however, for all of us, has been in the form of Rainbows.

Now if you read the original post about Mike’s song for Jason, the lyrics within, and some of the stuff that happened after you may have an idea what I’m talking about. If not, let me tell the story here and start from square one on what was the worst day of all of our lives.

After we all found out about Jason, the only person who didn’t know was Ashley, Jason’s little sister for those who don’t know. She was with friends in Orlando. So we made the decision the best way to handle it was for us to go there, find her and tell her to her face so we could all be there for her.

So we all hopped in Grandma’s van, Chris, Mike, Dalyce and Me. Mom had called the Mom of who Ashley was with and told her what was going on and what the plan was. They were miniature golfing at some Volcano Golf place in Orlando. She would keep them all there as long as it took us to get there so we could do this the right way.

Once we got to Orlando it started to rain. We were very worried about what they would do if it was raining because you can’t miniature golf in the rain. We didn’t want them to leave and we were having a very hard time finding this place. Somehow, we even ended up at the wrong Volcano Golf place. As it turns out, every delay and every second we were late would lead us to the right spot at just the right time.

We finally found Ashley at yet another Volcano Golf place. Her reaction is exactly what you’d expect, but fortunately, we were all there for her in person. In this unimaginably painful moment for Ashley and for all of us, we looked up and above us was a double rainbow.

Double rainbows are extremely rare and Mike wrote about this very rainbow in his song "The Simple Things" which he wrote for Jason. This was just the start of this rainbow stuff. But this first double rainbow was extremely significant.

In the next two weeks after, I swear we all saw more rainbows than ever before but we never really made anything of it. It wasn’t until one day with Ashley that the idea really came into play beyond that first initial experience that maybe these Rainbows meant something.

Ash was on her way to Island of Adventures at Universal for her first real attempt at doing something other than sitting around feeling like crap. On the way there she was having a really hard time and out of nowhere appeared a rainbow. That rainbow literally changed her mood in an instant. To her, it was not only a sign, but a form of communication. She just knew it.

Then a couple days later I went over to get Jason’s Xbox. I wanted to get on Live and play his games and continue what he was doing on Xbox live. It takes me a few days to be able to even hook it up because it’s hard even looking through his games. After a few days I finally hook it up and turn it on - I see Jason’s legendary MidnightxRider profile.

I go to create a new profile and see he has another profile on there that’s a female character, some short haired chick in a pant suit. I call Mom up and ask her about it and she says it’s a secret one he made on a 30 day XBox Live trial. He used it to just mess around with and to screw with his friends. The name of this character...?



Rainb0wSmiles. The name alone is pretty amazing... I could not believe this was Jason’s character with that name. But "rainbow smiles" actually has a real meaning... "A rainbow smile is to smile out of happiness while crying of sadness. Much like what a rainbow is in a dark storm."

Even being the skeptic I am, right about now is when I’m thinking "Ok this is pretty surreal." The meaning of that term, which was the name of an Xbox live character that he secretly had just to mess around with. Imagining him creating this character and coming up with the name ’Rainb0wSmiles." He literally named himself that! And for me to find it... It was pretty powerful. And I don’t know if I was just being self aware but I saw more rainbows in the past few week than I ever did in my life.

So last week on my way to go pick up Ashley from her friend’s house it was raining pretty bad. Driving out of nowhere, I saw a rainbow. Like always now, seeing a rainbow in the sky is like seeing Jason. But the further I went down the road as it twisted and I got a different perspective on the rainbow, I noticed it was a double rainbow. Then I actually pulled over and couldn’t believe my eyes. There were three damn rainbows! 1 - 2 - 3! I couldn’t believe it! And I took pictures. These are from my iPhone so the quality isn’t the greatest but they were even brighter in person.







So after seeing this stuff I was really curious and I did a little research. Triple rainbows, also known as tertiary rainbows are so rare, some people don’t even believe they exist. They do exist however, they are incredibly rare and explaining how three rainbows can appear next to each other in the sky will make your head explode trying to understand. That’s how rare and complex a site it is to see.

Putting the scientific stuff aside, what we have here is very likely a Triple Rainbow that would be one very... very extremely rare phenomenon to witness on Earth. And I think it is in fact, a triple rainbow.

Finally pulling myself away from this, I hurried to go get Ashley so she could see it since I know she would really appreciate it seeing as she had her own personal connection with the rainbows. But by the time I picked her up and drove back, it was gone.

So we started back to my house and for those who know where I live, it’s very close to where the accident happened - exactly 2.5 miles away and about 4 minutes driving. So on the way home, Ash asked if we could stop by Jason’s roadside memorial since we had just refreshed all the flowers and made it look really nice. She hadn’t seen it yet. So we drove up to it and this is what we found.





I could not believe - after seeing that insane triple rainbow in the sky 30 minutes ago, that there was now a RAINBOW shining bright over the exact spot we lost Jason. I don’t know how it was possible, but both me and Ashley sat there staring at that rainbow with huge smiles on our face in disbelief. They were truly, rainbow smiles.

There comes a point when you stop wondering about coincidences. I’m pretty sure this was it for me. It was like this was somehow Jason’s grand finale. But if that somehow wasn’t enough, I found another cool discovery in Jason’s Laptop - a small folder that had a few pics of... Rainbows. In fact, it looks like he made a hobby of taking pictures of rainbows whenever he spotted them because I found a series of pics from two different days that were over a year apart all taken outside the old house! Check em out, the dates... very weird.

The first one: September 29th, 2007. The day after my birthday.



The second one: June 25th, 2008. The day before his birthday. It’s a double rainbow.



I was pretty surprised to find that Jason himself took interest in rainbows. Especially seeing a double rainbow and taking a picture the day before his 20th birthday. Kind of weird... And it’s cool to see these pictures that I know he looked at with his own eyes and took a picture of. An image he had a personal connection with. All together, it is proof that in many different ways, rainbows definitely meant something to Jason when he was alive.

So with all that’s happened with rainbows... with everything that’s been said and seen with our own eyes and own experiences, I offer one last very important sign of this rainbow stuff.

Jason’s Memorial. For starters, we played a song at Jason’s memorial, the song that was playing before the actual memorial started when everyone was stopping by Jason’s Urn, picking up his Memorial Cards, looking at his pictures and signing the poster board... The song was an instrumental version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow." Mike and I had picked it out and didn’t even make the connection until recently.

And finally, a place that brought Jason so much happiness and most importantly the place we all met together to say goodbye to Jason at his actual Memorial: Rainbow Springs.

But it wasn’t just a place that made him happy and the place we said goodbye to him. It was a place that brought us all together as one united group of family and friends of Jason. We all became a family that day. It was a place we not only remembered him, but celebrated his life, made new friends and spent the day living life like Jason did. And somehow looking back, it was... a happy day, relatively speaking. Come to think of it, the entire day was actually kind of like one really big Rainbow Smile.

So with all that being said, I think we’ve found out that we can smile through the tears. No matter what you believe in, there comes a point when the ordinary becomes extraordinary. And I think with everything we’ve seen: We are well past that point. Thank you for giving us something to believe in, Jason.

I noticed a lot more rainbows since this happened then I have in the past few years and have felt comforted when I see one. All of those connections are unreal. I am honestly at a loss for words. It’s just crazy.

I still can’t believe I didn’t make the connection with Rainbow Springs until now. Gives me goosebumps.

Oh I know me too. The biggest and most obvious thing, same thing here. I just realized that when Mike said something a few days ago.

It is all very amazing. I do believe the rainbows are a sign. The day Matt saw the triple rainbow, I had not yet seen one, of course I hadn’t been going out much. I went outside that day while he was on the phone telling me about it and i walked to the corner. Now keep in mind I was probably 15 miles from where Matt was, and there bright as can be was a full rainbow. I watched it for a while and walked back home and as i turned the corner, in another part of the sky was yet another rainbow. I do believe it is my baby telling us he is ok, and to try and smile.

That is awesome Matt! I also believe they are a sign because since Jason’s been gone I’ve seen so many Rainbow’s. Only captured a few of them on camera though! Here they are:

This one you can see in the clouds kinda. I saw this one on my way to Walmart.


This one was on the way to Golden Corral! I think the same day as the Walmart one, but it was a different Rainbow. I definitely knew that it was Jason.


This one was the best one that I got a picture of. It was beautiful, just like Jason. This one was behind Hungry Howies when I was leaving work one day. It was probably Jason telling me he wanted a Large Pepperoni Pizza w/ Butter Cheese crust and parm all over...I miss that kid...

Thats so crazy, i have realize there has been alot more rainbows in the sky.
i just neveer really put it together until now.
but we know jason with us. even more then we might of thought.
thats jason way to get a smile on are faces :]

Really want anyone who han’t heard this song to listen.

The Rainbow Connection - Sarah McLachlan

Gail, that song is amazing!
And I agree Heather, he always finds a way to make us smile, even when he’s gone.

Bridges: The rainbow has also been used to represent a bridge from earth (from humans) to a brighter, happier place.

The seven color rays are spiritual forces emanating from the white light. They are perpetually vibrating - not only on the surface of the earth - but also above and through it, encircling the globe in streams of endless energy.
Color vibrations are a source of power, each one having a general as well as a specific function and purpose.

Some people believe that each human being incarnates under a particular ray and is influenced by other subordinate rays, the focal point being an aura or radiation of light, that surrounds all creatures.

Psychological Meaning: The rainbow symbolizes good news, hope, redemption and the ending of gloom. Since the sun can be a symbol of the self, it is also associated with the magical quest for the treasure of self-knowledge. The rainbow is a bridge between heaven and earth, between your earthly self and your higher enlightened self.


Just some random meanings that I’d like to share...

Aww Amy. That’s beautiful. I was going to look for just that kind of information. Thank you so much for sharing it.

Big hugs to you guys and that beautiful baby!

This I found as well, and thought it may be helpful for understanding what is occurring.

Many people have reported receiving a sign which affirmed that their deceased family member or friend had survived physical death and continues to live in another dimension of existence. We call these symbolic ADCs or ADC signs. They are a relatively common type of after-death communication.

Some people are sent a sign spontaneously as a gift, while others ask or pray to receive one. Depending on their belief system, they may ask their deceased loved one to give them a sign, or they may pray to God or the “universe” for one.

Typical symbolic ADCs include butterflies, rainbows, flowers, many different species of birds and other animals, and any number of inanimate objects. Whether a sign comes immediately or takes days or weeks to arrive, most people intuitively recognize their sign right away and feel it was intended just for them.

ADC signs provide much hope to those who are grieving deeply, especially bereaved parents and the widowed. But because they are a symbolic form of communication, the receiver must interpret his or her own experience and assign personal meaning to it.

The rainbow is one of mankind’s oldest symbols of hope and eternal life. It’s no surprise, therefore, that many bereaved people report seeing a magnificent rainbow on various anniversary dates following their loved one’s death.

That is freaking awesome Amy. You are the best. Thanks so much for that stuff.

there has been alot of incredible things that have happend or that we have seen. and what is more significant then the fact we SEEN them.. is the fact we KNEW or FELT a meaning to them.

wow...how truly amazing! literally i’ve gotten goosebumps and immediately tearing. i’ve seen a couple rainbows, and the situations in which i’ve seen them is so...well, there’s no words really to describe it. it has been most frequently when i’ve been walking my dogs just before a storm rolls in: there is dark, black clouds all around us & everything is so...quiet...still...almost as if we are frozen right where we are standing. i live in tampa, literally in "the city of tampa" in which i live adjacent to UCH Hospital...i usually hear EVERY day & night the sounds of sirens: ambulance & police vehicles; but on these particular days...i hear nothing, a faint blowing of the wind, the clouds circling around & there is the faint colors of a rainbow. it has been incredible, in that these moments are so rare & ecclectic. amazingly though, when i am thinking of jason...looking at pictures of him...reading these stories...sad, upset & crying, the oddest thing is that on the radio, either at home or while driving/riding in the car, a song of jason’s will come on. and it happens so incredibly frequently that it just hits me like a ton of bricks & i find myself literally holding my breath. also, when i heard the news...i dropped the phone & ran to my room while my boyfriend spoke with my mother...and when i’d come out, there was a particular song playing on my radio. now, i’m a spiritual person...not religious and i don’t listen to the christian music or anything, but this song by Mercy Me, "I Can Only Imagine" came on and goosebumps covered me. my mind was racing with a million & one thoughts, i can’t remember a single one but i do remember asking God to take care of Jason, to hold him & protect him, love him & warm him and then this song came on.

Another amazing story Jan. Thank you for sharing it. I know he’s here with us. Just so miss seeing him, but I feel him. Love you...
