My Heart is Warm today...

My heart is warm today with love and kindness from those around me, but filled with so much sadness thinking about what the next two days will bring. My dads viewing is tomorrow from 2-8 pm and Saturday is his funeral:(

I have to tell you a bit of a wild story at first... and you may all think I am crazy but here it goes...

We have a local radio station here that features a psychic named "Barbara the Gray Witch" every Thursday. I've listened to people call in and what she has said to them. I've tried to call in a few times before but never got through. I DID it today... I knew what I wanted to ask... the phone rang at least 25 times as I sat in my car in my son's parking lot at school...

THEY ANSWERED!

They asked my name and my sign- which is Capricorn...

They asked my question...

I had 3...

"Why did my dad pass away so unexpected? Was it the cancer or did he just stop breathing?"

"Was there anything he wanted to tell me?"

Barbara told me... "It was time for him to "leave body" he did just stop breathing, but he is still with me. He's not sick anymore or sad, and I shouldn't be sad either. In a couple weeks strange things will begin happening, lights will flicker, sounds, etc... it will be him and he will appear in my dreams! Set a place for him still at the table this Christmas cause he will still be there with us. And when you are an old old lady and leave body as well,

you two will be reunited once again"

WOW... I cried the whole time I was talking to her and THEY PLAYED it on the RADIO! I missed the first part but heard the end of it, and heard myself sniffling in the background.

WAS it a SIGN from my DAD that my call got through? Makes me WONDER ♥

So then on Monday, I got a call from the Senior Vice President of the chain of hotels that my dad worked for. She had told me how sorry she was to hear that my dad had passed, and that she was sending something to our family to help out at this sad and difficult time. I then later spoke to the GM of my dads hotel where he worked and he told me that each year the corp. holds various fundraisers each year such as bake sales, etc to raise money to award 3 employees at the Holiday season who they feel are "in need of some help". MY DAD WAS NOMINATED this year ♥ I broke down into tears on the phone because it made me so sad to think that he wasn't here to receive the "award". So they sent it to me instead to take in his honor...

Today I received an envelope delivered by UPS and inside it was a card...

And...

A MONEY ORDER FOR $400.00!!!!

I  was completely astounded!

I spoke to my mom and told her and asked what she thought my dad would have done with it this year; and she said, "He would have spent it on you guys!"

There are 4 of us kids!!

So on Christmas my brothers will all be surprised when they receive a special card with a note from me and $100 for themselves.

I've been contemplating what I want to do with my $100 and have a few ideas... :)

Although today was very rough on me emotionally, I feel like these things happened for a reason...

maybe my dad does want me to know he is here with me...?

I am SO grateful to his company and their generosity ♥

Please keep myself and my family in your prayers the next two days as we deal with such a difficult time; give ask God to give us the strength to say good bye for now, but know that our dad will be with us always!

I love you all and wish you all the MERRIEST of all Christmases this year!!

You don't know how much you all mean to me and each hold a little place in my heart ♥

Love,

Noelle ♥
