My daughter (Candice) shared a beautiful story with me today. She was at work last night and was working up front by the coat check. They were busy (as always) and she was working quickly and efficiently. She was putting this ladies coat away and inwardly cursed as she got a big shock. As she gave the lady her coat check ticket she mentioned she was getting shocks with everything she was touching last night. She most certainly did not expect the next comments. Candice said this lady blew her away... She said it was like an episode of Long Island Medium.
The lady introduced herself and said her name was Alanna (sp?). She said getting shocks like that is usually a sign of psychic ability. Not always, but in this case she thinks it's true. Candice stared at her and turned to walk away...
Then Alanna said "Your Grandmother is here. Did you know that?"
Candice immediately thought of her Grandma and her Nana, (both of whom are gone and missed dearly always).
I'm going to back up a step here and let you know that I am adopted. My biological parents died in a car accident when I was very young and my sister and I entered the foster system. In our very young lives, we had already been in a few foster homes all short term. Also at this same time, my (adopted) parents were dealing with a tragedy in their lives as well (they had a stillborn son). At this time of their lives, they already had children that were married and had children of their own, and my sister (their biological daughter) was, how shall we say... unexpected. They still felt blessed and thought another child was the icing on the cake this late in their lives. So when they were faced with this tragedy, they realized they still had so much love to give, they had a home to share, and they didn't want my sister to grow up as an only child. This was when they decided to become foster parents. They would start out by being short term foster parents too. My sister and I we were their first children. We arrived on their doorstep already guarded with our feelings in our young lives but at the same time starving for love and affection. Time passed, we flourished and we became part of their family. They couldn't imagine parting with us. We were so fortunate. There are so many sad stories of terrible childhoods others had to endure, but for my sister and I, we were lucky. We had an amazing childhood and amazing loving parents and family.
So getting back to the current story, Candice knows she has another grandmother, but she said to be honest she never comes to her mind when someone mentions the word grandmother to her. Instead she thinks of my (adopted) mother or her fathers mother. Now getting back to Candice's story as she is relating it to me...
As Candice starts to walk away Alanna says to her, "She is speaking really heavy Cree to you right now." Alanna describes her... "She is not as tall as you. She has very long hair and she is very pretty." She said she was on Candice's right side which indicates the mothers side of the family. She says "Your grandmother was a very strong woman. She was very caring and was strong for those around her. I feel such a sense of strength from her." She said she was telling me that "everything was going to be alright:. She keeps repeating that to you... that everything will be alright." She said Grandma says that I am a lot like her.
At this point, Candice pauses her story to ask me if I know or remember anything about her (my biological mother)? I tell her no, I don't. I was so young and only have two distinct memories of her. One of them is me sitting on the floor watching her as she sits on her bed brushing her long black hair that hung to her lap. Anyways, I say no and ask her why. Candice said, " Because Alanna said that I am a healer and that Grandma was a healer too.." Alanna then repeats again that everything is going to be alright. We will be alright.
At this time, Candice had to help another customer, and Alanna said she would be back later... but the evening was a very busy one and the time flew by. Candice never saw Alanna again that night.
--- end of psychic reading---
So, as Candice relayed this story to me, I have no control over the tears
that are streaming down my face. I am not sad, or happy. Hard to explain, I just
feel an incredible sense of peace (and love). My other daughter Courtney has had
a very recent horrible event happen that affected our whole family. We are at this time going through an incredible family crisis and I have had
an incredible sense of sadness and helplessness lately, but Thursday, I had decided to let
some light back into my life and allow myself to begin to smile again. And yesterday (Friday), Candice receives this beautiful message. And today (Saturday), my heart and
sense of self feels nothing but pure, complete, beautiful love and light.
You know you hear stories like this happening, they have been on television, in movies... but to have this first hand account of it, I am I such awe and feel so truly blessed. Love and light to my amazing friends and those of you reading this.
