Message From Grandmother On the Other Side

January 1, 2014 at 2:45pm

*Some of my friends have seen this story before*....
As I just said to Jim today....  
"It's THEE BEST GOD WINK that I have ever had !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"



Let me explain about it... this happened in January of 2007. I  was a member of a paranormal web site.

One of our members had dropped off the site, you know how you have so much going on, and you just make choices about your time. 
Anyway, J emailed me saying....  "Deb, can I have an invite back on the site, I have a really interesting photograph to share, and have folks comment on".   J explained to me that he had been at a party and a friend named Jimmy was talking about a unique picture
someone took of him sleeping on the couch.    J had Jimmy email him a copy
of the picture, saying he would share it on this paranormal site in order to have feedback.   

J posted the picture and I will NEVER forget my first reaction....

It was like sitting in a WIND  TUNNEL  and having a turbo fan
switched on........     WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was totally speechless and clueless to make a comment on the photograph itself. 

J had posted that Jimmy had lost his Grandmother less than a year ago, and he was having great difficulty in processing her loss.

THAT STRUCK ME.......  I emailed J and said.... could you send this message on to Jimmy.   I believe that I can help him with the loss of his Grandmother.    The message I sent Jimmy was of a poem.... Why Was She Here, by Marlee Maitlin.   I also wrote a few other
things to Jimmy.   
He emailed me back and said that he had chill bumps and was
so very moved by my words.   He felt a peace that he had not felt in a long time.
He asked if he could call me.... and I said SURE.    I missed his call, called him back and missed him, so he called me again.

When we did connect, he immediately said... 'You have no idea how comforting the message you sent me was'.   Jimmy then said, I know you are in Ohio, and I even know the city from the phone number. He said, my sister lives in that same city.   He then said, well she  lived in one house, but moved to another house in the same city.....

I SUCKED AIR for about a SECOND and said......... 

"Is your sister Patti and her (then) husband Paul"?    
He answered... 'YES'.

I then said................'Ohhhhh MY GOD, we bought our house from them'.

Several Ohhh MY GOD'S later from BOTH of us, WE KNEW that his Grandmother had a hand in  connecting us up.  
Jimmy's Grandmother is buried at a cemetery here in Ohio.    

Jimmy lives in Arizona.  I just mapquested that.....           
    Total Est. Distance: 1922.88 miles    
That is a WORLD away so to speak....   
What DO YOU think are the odds of this happening ?

AND...... it's been awhile since I spoke or emailed with Jimmy.  He called me on January 16th.   I told him that I would keep myself open to any messages I might have from his Grandmother.  The next day, I felt the overwhelming urge to go visit her grave.
The cemetery is about a 15 minute drive from my home.   My dear friend Antoinette's husband is also buried there.    I had the feeling once I was at Larry's grave, I would locate his Grandma's right away.
The whole cemetery story is one I will save for another day, but I will say when I was at Larry's grave, I could not locate Jimmy's Grandma's. I phoned him to see if he could lead me there.   He was SHOCKED that I was at the cemetery.    I did locate her grave with just a little help.

I really hesitated in sharing this story.    I talked with Jimmy about sharing it and had the GREEN light go ahead from him.   Then I thought.... maybe it's too personal to share.    I thought that was what a 'nudge' from his Grandmother.   But in the past few weeks as I have had this on my mind...   I knew that story was meant to be shared.   

As a validation in the power of the universe to work through people no matter what the space or distance.... even death.   Love never dies. 

After I was at the cemetery on January 17th, I got to wondering exactly when Jimmy and I first talked on the phone.    Going back through emails I realized his call came in exactly ONE YEAR to the DAY that we first spoke...   January 16th.   :)))))))))))))

I went to do a preview of this message before I actually posted it
and I heard......
"My dearest Jimmy I DO LOVE YOU" !!!!!!!!!

Why Was She Here?

 "When I faced the loss of my dear
Grandmother Rose, I asked the
question, 'Why was she here?' for I could
not comprehend a day without her
gentle smile and caring touch. The loss was
so painful. But as days and months passed, I
found that the pain I had felt began to
transform itself into something completely new.
The empty hole in my life was slowly
filled in with a warmth. As I lived again and
worked myself into a daily routine,
I began to understand that my successes
and achievements were her pats on the back,
her hugs when I was discouraged and her
stories of her dreams and hopes for her
children and grandchildren when I had none.

So, the question 'Why?' became clear,
I realized that my life was an extension of
hers. When there is a hole someplace in the
world, I believe a warmth eventually fills it.
When there is poverty, a richness of spirit
eventually comes to help.
I believe we are here for each other; to lift,
to encourage, to dream. Without that kind of giving,
we cease to exist. So, as Rose gave to me, I try to
give to others in my work, in my personal life,
in my charity. For me, that is why.
That is harmony."
