Subject: A true story about a message from heaven
In reply to: Ravenbeauty 's message, "Merry Christmas!!!" on 22:49:20 12/24/11 Sat

I have been thinking about you Raven and the wonderful people who come to your site. I want to share a true Holiday season story that happened to me a week before Christmas in 2009.

But before I do that, I want to tell you I truly believe you are going to live a lot longer than the doctors are predicting. I can't begin to tell you the stories I have heard of perfectly healthy people who have died unexpectedly, while people they are close to who are very ill, live on for years. Nobody knows when their time is up and a miracle can happen to anyone. Always keep faith, hope and love in your heart.

Now each and every one of us have to die eventually and my story is about the other side.

When I was 13 I remember being with my sick mom in the hospital standing by her bed. We were talking about dinner when she stated she saw her parents in the room. Said they were waiting to take her. I was a bit confused because they had both died by the time I was 5. My mother ended up dying later on that night. That was 35 years ago.

My dad was 90 and under hospice care in 2009. He talked about his family, specifically his parents and his FAVORITE COUSIN Leonard who had died about 10 years prior. They were very close. I assured him that when he died he would see them again and reminded him of my mother’s last words. He seemed a bit doubtful. My dad passed away in my home in the beginning of December of 2009.

A week before Christmas I was going through a box of pictures and took one out of his cousin Leonard and his wife. My father was born in Europe and his family lived in Germany and Poland. I had not visited there for over 25 years and had not talked to anyone for at least 20. The telephone rings and I leave his bedroom to go to answer it. It was his cousin Leonard’s daughter. I still had her father’s picture in my hand… I was dumbfounded. I had not talked to her in 20 years. She did not know my address, married name or telephone number. But she said for a week she had a great urge to seek me out. It took her son, who is very internet savvy, three hours of research to find me. She had found my father’s obituary and was shocked to see he had died only two weeks prior. She told me that she was an only child and so was I, but we have each other. (my dad always worried about dying and leaving me alone) Needless to say when I hung up the telephone all I could do was smile and think, my dad had sent me a message from heaven. I was right…and he was with his family again. It was the best Christmas present. It taught me not to fear death, because when my time comes, I just know my loving father will be standing there waiting for me.

God bless.

Belated Christmas/Holiday greetings to you. My prayers for your health and recovery go on till the end of this year and into the next as we need you to be strong and whole as we continue to wage this fight. Some may see it as pushing against a "brick wall", unyielding, immovable. Not true.
There is still much we can and will do to bring our shows back to the "iconic" status they enjoyed when people who cared about them were heading up their writing and production staffs and weren't subject to the agendas of others at higher levels. Quality and integrity are still prized commodities in this industry. And that's a bedrock foundation that soaps have always been built on. It's up to us to take these "tentpoles" and continue to raise them
without reservation. The casts and crews of these shows deserve no less. Love and hugs to you, darlin'. God's continued blessings...
