Within the last several years, I have been on a spiritual journey. When I started, I didn't realize where I was going. However, a force has been guiding me through the many little steps I have taken to straighten the path I had been following. Over time, I have been enlightened with what I can handle or conceptualize which has caused my faith and belief to grow. My guidance has allowed my Self to become tuned into what is going on around me and when I am ready, I learn.
I believe my spirit guides and angels bring me messages through different mediums. One example of such an experience happened at a time when I needed to make amends to my sister Paula. I had prayed for the willingness to do this for over four years, and I recognized the opportunity when it presented itself one afternoon. When I approached my sister, an amazing amount of energy of love washed away the resentment and in that instant I was overcome with peace as I laid to rest my anger. My sister Paula plays an important part in my story.
One evening I "happened" upon a radio show and its host was an intuitive astrologer. I called in to the program and after giving my birth date I asked what I needed to deal with in the future. The astrologer's response was opposite to what I wanted to hear. "How is your relationship with your parents?" At that moment I pronounced that I love my parents and have a good relationship. He said,"I'm feeling there is something there to look at and it's one parent, I won't say which one because I think you know."
Later that week, I mentioned this to a friend and they said they had just read a good book about father/son relationships. In addition, on another day, I was at a meeting and heard someone say that they needed to heal a relationship with their parent. All this happened within a few days of each other. I borrowed the book from the library, read it and my understanding of how to talk to my father about my feelings became clear. As a result of these insights, I scheduled a lunch with my Dad to try to manifest my goals for our relationship.
After he arrived at my work, we went out and talked about his childhood and growing up as an adult. We shared intimate tales and I became comfortable and felt closer to my Dad, like never before. After our meeting, more pleasant memories came to mind to touch me and I shared these with him.
Within a couple of weeks of this lunch, my father had a heart attack and went into a coma. I visited him and was planning to stay overnight at the hospital with him. That day, I called and spoke to Paula and asked about Dad. We were on the phone no longer than a couple of minutes when she said "Wait ...he has stopped breathing... no, he is breathing wait... wait, this is it, he stopped..."
Thanks to my earlier efforts to settle my anger/resentment, the gift of connecting with my father at his moment of transition surpassed that of the telephone connection. There was no way I could have planned this outcome. I believe that Spirit led me to right wrongs and come to terms with my relationship, and I was blessed to be connected at the moment my father died.
