Ever since I was a little girl I had experienced deja vue and as I become older a slight sixth sense. I was often aware of something bad in the air, or good. My mother, as well, has this ability but I feel it is tempered by her sleep medication. My maternal grandmother and aunt read Tarot cards, but not my mother. I never knew until it was pointed out to me that people believed my three sons and I shared an odd sense of psychic connection and finally I was forced into believing it as well.
I had awaken in the early hours of the morning to witness what I deemed a ghost at the time, hovering at the foot of my bed. There is no way to describe it or the feeling of "okay" that it gave me as I returned my head to my pillow. As I awoke for the day the "ghost" re-entered my mind and I called my entire family to question their well-being. I was able to contact each except for my middle son who was 19 at the time and living on the Mississippi coast.
Two weeks later I left from Washington State to arrive in Mississippi a day ahead of my previously scheduled trip time because I felt the "need to". I lost my 19 year old son the day after I arrived, in an accident. I feel as though my ghost was actually an angel provided me to help protect my soul from damage. The simple fact that I told everyone beforehand gave them as well hope for an afterlife. We had never been a religious family, but did believe in God and in being good people.
I have since acted, not that I really have a choice, on my strong urges to be somewhere or do something. I have over the years been in remarkable situations because of it. What others would call coincidences I have other explanations for. I penned a book detailing some of these in hopes of helping others that I feel are searching for answers in some spiritual matters. Those of us who cannot connect to what organized religion teaches but still believe in a loving God. This book was written with tears and as strange as it may sound, no conscious thought.
It was at the side of my son's coffin that I learned to pray and... Receive my answers. I have never stopped since.
God doesn't make mistakes we are who are for a purpose.
