My miraculous visit

I can barely wait to get this typed and tell you of the most incredible experience of my life! It happened early this morning about 2:00 AM. Twenty-five days after my husband, Mike, passed-away.

I tossed and turned for a couple of hours — just couldn’t sleep. I noticed that light spilled out into the hall from my sister’s room. So she was awake too.

I slipped from my bed and made a bathroom run. Once back in my bed, I rolled onto my right side and closed my eyes. Okay, Susanne, you need to get some sleep, I told myself.

I stiffened as I felt tracks across the bottom of my bed — like you would feel if a big cat or your dog walked beneath you feet, across the bed. I have no animals, though.

I realized it was a spirit and I was a little uneasy. I wanted to speak out loud but decided against it, because I didn’t want my sister, in the next room, to hear me and think I had lost my mind.

So I simply thought in my mind, “Mike is that you?” The stepping moved up alongside my back. “Mike, if it is you, please tap me twice on the butt.” Two incredible thumbs patted the top of my hip as I lie there on my side. The thumps were accompanied by a strong, tingling shock. It didn’t hurt, but like an electrical shock.

I began to weep and told him over and over, “I love you, I love you, I love you so much!”

“Mike, tap me twice more if the answer is yes. Are you happy, Mike?”

Two more taps with electrical shocks which were even stronger and traveled through the top quarter, in depth, of my body. Then he patted me from my hip, up along my side and I felt that same electric shock with every pat.

I was completely taken over with weeping. Finally, realizing that the spirits never stay long, I asked, “Mike are you still here?”

He had departed, leaving me with the greatest gift a wife could ever ask for. I thanked him and told him I loved him, yet again.

I called my sister to my bedside, had her lie down with me, and told her of my miraculous visit.

Folks, they say he died. But believe me, he is not dead! And he is happy!

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.
