Spiritual Connections - Mom's Gift

Spiritual Connections – Mom’s Gift

My son, Alex and his wife, Gabi

were in Gatlinburg last week

celebrating their first anniversary.

He called me Friday night

to tell me about their day.

They wanted to do

Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies,

but when they got there in the morning,

the line was way too long.

So they went off exploring the town.

They saw three bears which just delighted Gabi.

Alex had an experience that was amazing also.

Hours later they realized

they needed to get to the aquarium

if they wanted to get through it before closing.

There's a unique feature

where you walk through a transparent tunnel

and see the fish all around you.

As they entered this narrow aisle way,

“Canon in D” was playing.

Alex looked at his watch;

it was 5:56 pm.

His body flashed with goosebumps

as he thanked his mom in heaven

for her impeccable timing

to get them both there

at that moment

walking down an aisle way

with that song playing.

Why?

At just before 6 pm
exactly one year ago

they walked the aisle together

for the very first time

as a married couple

as that song played!

I remember watching them

walk down the aisle

with so much love in their hearts.

I remembered he had asked us

to save a seat on the front row

for his mom and put her picture there.

I remembered all those times

his mom has visited me

over the last 8 years since her transition

and how I too experienced goosebumps.

These signs from her

have utterly changed my view

of what death means.

I have read of so many similar accounts

and immersed myself in trying to understand

what “across the veil” means.

I call them truth shivers now.

So as I related it to my wife Laura and others,

I was so thrilled Alex

had such an overwhelming feeling arise in him.

That his mom was there with them,

that she had ensured

they showed up at the very moment

that would crystallize

his recognition of this event

into a belief.

A belief

that our loved ones don't die;

they live on in another realm

we like to call heaven.

Heaven seems so far away at times,

but in reality,

this veil is so delicate and porous

that if we are aware enough,

our loved ones

continue to be with us

and let us know it.

They honor our special days

with spiritual synchronicities like this

just as we continue to pay tribute

to their special days

on this human plane. 

Thank you, Alex and Gabi,

for sharing your mom’s gift with us,

I love you both so dearly.

All My Love Always, Dad
