My Story
Where does one begin to tell the story of where your story begins … it can begin in many different ways. The day I was born is always a good place to start. So is the first day of school, sweet 16, high school graduation, when you meet the man you fall in love with, your wedding day or even the birth of your first child. All of them are practical starting points to any story. But that isn’t where my story begins…
This story begins in January 1973. I was nearly 8 years old when my father came to me to tell me that the stories were all lies. He sat on the side of my bed, holding my shoulders and telling me that “they” don’t know what they are talking about. I am alive. I am free. I am healthy, he kept reassuring me.
It was so real. It was wonderful; I had my daddy back. I could feel my father’s hands on my shoulders. I could smell his Old Spice aftershave. He was even wearing his pale green dress shirt and tie, what he always wore whenever he and my mom went somewhere special. But something seemed wrong, for a quick moment I was so happy but then it was all so terribly wrong. I started to cry. Yelling at him, telling him that it was not true. That he was dead. I saw him with my own eyes in the coffin just a few days before. I was screaming, crying out, trying to get away from his grip. I pulled away from him and leaned as close as I could to the headboard of my bed yelling for help.
The bedroom door swung open … I opened my eyes and there was my mother standing there. What’s wrong? I looked around the room and my dad who looked healthy and happy was no longer there. He had disappeared. I told my mom what had happened. She stared at me and replied coldly, if he returns do not speak to him….And that was that.
That is when it began. That was my first experience with someone from the other side. It was also my first experience with keeping it a secret.
Fast forward almost 40 years and here I am. I’ve spoken to many people from the other side, from grandparents, to siblings, to aunts, uncles, to spouses’ even ex-spouses (which is somewhat uncomfortable to some clients – but in the end always rewarding).
I’ve struggled over the years with when to share messages that I have received – it’s a little unnerving when you are in a business meeting and suddenly I feel the presence of my client’s mother in law standing next to him, desperately wanting to pass on a message to her daughter. Fortunately in this case my client and his wife greatly welcomed the messages that needed to be said.
It’s not always been that cut and dry. Once I received a message from a grandmother from a childhood friend of mine. She begged me to call my old friend, so I did. I confirmed with my old friend that she had been crying and desperately missing her grandmother – I then passed on the message that her grandmother had for her. I truly believed that I was doing a service to my old friend and felt, quite frankly elated. Instead I received skepticism and doubt. Which made me feel sad and somewhat disappointed A few more stories similar to the above sealed the message my mother gave me about my father – if he returns, do not talk to him.
A little older, and a lot wiser, I’ve come to learn a few things: Deceased loved ones are going to do all that they can to get their messages to their loved ones one way or another; sometimes it’s thru music, maybe a movie, seeing a cardinal in winter or a scent in the air. And sometimes it’s thru a medium. I’ve also learned that in some cases I am actually doing a disservice to those people by providing unsolicited readings. Sure they want to know that their deceased loved ones are happy, safe but sometimes unfortunately it is easier for them to believe that they are just gone.
But more and more people don’t want to believe that their loved ones are “just gone”, like they are on an extended vacation. Deep down they want to believe that they really are not that far away. Over the last number of years I’ve had the pleasure of working with clients who have greatly appreciated and have had tremendous healing from the messages received from their loved ones. As the messenger, it’s my honour and pleasure to be of assistance.
