Green Smiley Tuesday
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share an uplifting story. I know many of us have faith & believe we will see our kids again one day but sometimes we just need a neat story to inspire us. Don't you agree? Well I have to share this one. I saw an aquaintance recently whose husband Howie had been ill with lung cancer. He recently passed and before he transitioned my friend, Priscilla, had hospice come in. For 2 weeks hospice, Priscilla & Howie's adult children sat by Howie's bedside as he was transitioning. He had a few moments where he was with them but mostly was carrying on conversations with friends and relatives who had passed; all with a smile on his face. One could say he was no longer lucid or the meds gave him hallucinations but each day as the nurses told Priscilla that today his earthly life would end they overheard Howie saying to one of his Heavenly companions, "No, not today." Until after almost 2 weeks the nurses said to Priscilla, "Yeah, Howie's saying to his "friends and angels not today so we don't think it will be today."
Anyhow one day Howie was conversing again and saying to his friend. J.S., "J.S., remember when we used to race cars?" and Howie laughed and laughed. Priscilla's kids said, "Mom, who is J.S.?" Priscilla explained J.S. is a friend who Howie hung around with as a teen & they used to drag race their cars. But Priscilla was puzzled as she knew that J.S. was alive so how could her husband be conversing with him in Heaven? That night Priscilla was reading the local paper, the Lowell Sun and glanced at the obituaries. J.S. had died the night before! Howie knew! He talked to him in Heaven. Priscilla, who is a believer said she & her kids were "blown away"!
One day Howie did not say to his Heavenly friends, "No, not today". He died peacefully that afternoon. Wow!
My green smile is for this story that is so affirming of the fact that we will see our kids again.
Love ya! Linda

I LOVE THIS!!! Yes, so many times I have heard or read of just this same kind of thing happening--that the dying will be \"talking\" to ones gone ahead..It does strengthen me about my conviction that the next life is another slender thread of dimension away...My dear friend Beatrice said \"Oh, how BEAUTIFUL!!!\" as her last dying words...apparently stepping over and into a the magnificent new world...Thanks so much for sharing, Linda! Love to you and Edward, Donna
I felt this with my mother who had Alzheimer\'s. Our last phone call she was talking to other people. I would say, \"Mom, mom\" and she would come back to me. This happened a couple of times during this call. She died a couple years later.
Thanks Linda for another inspiration,
Love,
Leda
I always believe in reunion of our spirits, but I also still feel totally vulnerable about it. I would always say \'I believe\' to anyone, but still always feel this same insecurity & great vulnerability. Thank you for your story of course. Thank you for writing this journal. We sure do all need it.
When Tamzin was living his last morning, he was often seeming to be looking sort of just past us... or just above us.
But then he was also that same morning, alert and sitting up in bed dancing away, jigging to Ben Harper\'s cds but then would occasionally lay back & look around the room \'just past us\".
I felt his light and fragile presence & that of his spirit family gathering & waiting to guide him away. I felt so comforted by them as well as totally afraid,. I sure hope I see Tamzin again, as we all hope and believe. Its our nature as spiritual beings as well as mothers. I could never just think we end, so thank you Linda for your beautiful story of confirmation.

Being a nurse, I have been told that it is the neurons misfiring when people are passing and see the light, or talk to those who have transitioned. I don\'t believe it. This is such a wonderful story. Thanks for sharing!

My MIL talked to her grandson who had passed a yr prior to her being in Hospice. But I had filed that thought away till your story. Hopefull feelings are in my heart.
