T, They sometimes come back and just sit in the driveway revisiting their many memories of home. Mine would come into the house and apparently just sit or sleep on the couch. He couldn't touch anything without me being away of it because of the dust. The computer was locked and I would ensure that the TV was on a certain channel. If he ate something, he took the wrappers with him, the same way he did his mail, trash, etc.
I always knew when he had been here, even before the neighbor would tell me. The hair on th back of neck would stand up and I'd have a 6th sense about it.
Some "sneak" back to get stupid stuff, i.e., toothpaste, photos, coffee mugs. Things that make no sense to us, but they do to them. That's why it is very important to really look around because the items aren't that obvious to you until you go to use that special pot, pan or mug. It's just very strange behavior, but that's kids for you.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
