I went to bed one night crying from a broken heart. The man that I was living with and had been engaged to for four years had been having an affair with a woman that he worked with. So he had packed up his belongings and left. Not only did he leave, but he left me with a stack of bills and a house payment. Everything was in my name and I didn't know how I would ever pay the bills and keep my house.
"Why?" I asked through my tears, "What is wrong with me?" It seems all my life I have been searching for love and acceptance and getting hurt and rejected. I was hurt and feeling sorry for myself, I didn't have any answers to my questions.
As I lay in my bed pondering my questions, my son who was 14 at the time came into my room to say goodnight. "Don't worry mom, everything will be all right." Chris has always been such a great source of comfort to me and I felt guilty that he had seen me in this miserable shape, but I could not move or stop crying. I said goodnight.
I don't know how long I lay there crying but I remember feeling the bed sag down as if someone had just sat on it. Then this wonderful, warm and loving hug encompassed me. I didn't lift my head but just lay in the comfort of the love that I was experiencing. After a few minutes I lifted my head to say thanks to my son but no one was there. I thought that I should go into my son's room and thank him for being so caring and let him know that I would be all right in time.
I got out of bed and went into his room. Imagine my surprise when I found him sound asleep and snoring. I stood there looking at him for a few minutes and then I shook him awake to see if he was really asleep. He was and I asked him if he had just come into my room, and of course he said no.
I went back into my room and turned on the lights. I started looking around for I don't know what, we didn't even have a pet at the time. I sat on the bed and tried to take it all in. I know I was not asleep, and I know that I felt the bed go down and the warm, loving arms of a person hugging me. Then it struck me, I was given a hug by someone of a higher nature. I really hadn't thought of angels or God during this period of my life, but I had to accept the fact that I KNOW someone else was with me. I wish I could tell you who it was, but I cannot. It sure did open my mind and my heart to the possiblilities of those on other planes.
Since that time I have known that even though I might be alone in this life, I am never truly alone.
