I asked for a visit from either one of two loved ones who have passed-on.

Last night, I asked for a visit from either one of two loved ones who have passed-on. One was the young man, Brad, who, as a boy, had been a piano student of mine. (See April 13, 2019 post ~ Two Visitors…)

As usual, I told him to come only if he desired the visit, too. Neither one of my two requests came for a visit. Well, not exactly.

I kept waking up throughout the night after having a dream with Brad’s mother in it. (We had been friends when our children were young but had lost touch after I moved away.)

In my dreams, we were good friends and together again. We were happy with our lives. There was no hint of Brad in the dreams. But, I wonder, did he orchestrate this whole night of togetherness for his mother and I?

How much do those who have passed-on have to do with our lives here? Some folks believe they become our guardian angels. I do not. Angels, I believe, are a whole different species and humans do not become angels.

That does not mean, however, that they cannot be messengers or that they cannot help us out from their place.

Remember my post about my cousin Bobby visiting me one night and warning me about my daughter Emily, but assuring me he would take care of her? (See April 12, 2019 post ~ Remembered Nocturnal Visit) Not only did he reassure me, but I believe he did have a hand in helping her through those difficult days when she was newly widowed.

While I suspect that Brad had a hand in his mother’s visit with me last night, I have to wonder why. Did she experience the visit as well? Did she need some happy time with a friend? Should I try to contact her again? Perhaps Brad will give me a nudge in the right direction.

I do believe that we should all pay attention to our dreams. We have them for a reason…

As a toddler, Sue Baumgardner made up stories for herself looking at books she could not read and later spun tales for her younger sisters. After she had her own children, she told them tales and eventually wove a new pattern into the fabric of their lives. As the three sat together, one would begin with a story idea of her own. She spoke perhaps a paragraph or two or three, then pointed to the next who would take up the thread and continue with her own evolution of the story line passed to her, until she pointed to the next. The third person wove her own ideas into the story progression. After the three each had a turn, anyone could end the story, in their turn, whenever it felt complete to them. After her children were adults, Sue studied writing, first poetry and then prose. After six semesters in adult education, she was thoroughly hooked on the story art form. Sue continued with dozens of classes, seminars and writing retreats. She studied writing and publishing under the likes of James Patterson, Peter Behrens, and Mark Dawson. As a contributor to the Discover Maine Magazine, Sue received her first check for her prose. Her poetry has been published in The Aurorian. She has six of her paperbacks along with four ebooks published. They include fiction and nonfiction for adults and fiction for Middle Readers. Her very first publishing though began with Greeting Card Universe, where Sue’s greeting cards with verse are sold across the world.
