My earliest memory of what would have been spirit interaction is the day my father died when I was just 12 years old.
It was a normal day in a middle class life. My Mom was a stay-at-home-mom, as most were in those days, and Dad went off to work very early in the morning. He was headed to a job in Chesley, On where he and my brother were dismantling a water tower.
We kids went to school as usual. At lunchtime a friend had invited me to go to her house for lunch. I called Mom and asked if I could go. She said OK but for some reason I said, “But you’re all alone, I will come home if you want me to.” She said no it was fine but something wasn’t sitting right with me. I was feeling torn between wanting to have lunch with my friend, I was 12 after all, and this knowing that I HAD to go home!
After we finished lunch I made an excuse that I needed a book from home. That was going to be my reason if Mom asked why I came home. Well, when I arrived home my Dad’s boss was sitting at the table with Mom and she was crying. He seemingly had just told her that my Dad had died from a fall from the water tower.
I just HAD to go home at lunch and nothing was going to stop me. Of course, at 12 years old I didn’t understand that this strong pull to go home was the direction of something beyond my comprehension. I since have come to the knowledge that spirit was directing me. Someone recently said that perhaps it was even my Dad’s spirit guiding me.
I really don’t know who it was but I believe beyond any doubt that I was being sent home that day to be with my Mom in the darkest time in her life. This event left her a single Mom of five kids. Bless her soul she did a wonderful job!
So pay attention if you get strong or unusual feelings about a person or situation. It just may be spirit speaking to you or a guardian angel taking care of you.
