MOTHER COMES TO VISIT

Virginia Nell O'Brien-Hill

I REMEMBER BACK IN 1993 I WAS HIT WITH ONE IF NOT THE BIGGEST TRAGEDIES OF MY LIFE. THOSE THAT LOVED ME CAME REGULARLY TO VISIT ME AND ATTEMPT TO SOFTEN MY WOUNDS. I WOULD INVITE MY MOTHER TO COME FROM TIME TO TIME TO STAY WITH ME. SHE WAS SO MUCH "FUN!" NOW THERE WAS A WOMAN THAT WAS "FABULOUS!" AHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!! EXPENSIVE VODKA, "NO ICE" WAS HER THING... AND, IF YOU DARED TO SLIP SOME ICE INTO HER GLASS SHE WOULD POUR IT OUT AND GRAB THE BOTTLE AND DRINK DIRECTLY FROM THE BOTTLE....SHE WAS A RETIRED NURSE (A GREAT ONE) HER DREAM OF BECOMING A PHYSICIAN NEVER MATERIALIZED DUE TO A SOMEWHAT UNSTABLE FAMILY LIFE. BUT...SHE WAS THE BEST MOTHER IN THE WORLD!
ONE MORNING SHE WALKED INTO THE LIVING ROOM WITH HER COFFEE IN HAND AND SAID SHE HAD SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO TELL ME. I SAID, OK AND SHE STARTED TO TELL ME ABOUT SOMETHING STRANGE THAT HAD HAPPENED THE NIGHT BEFORE...WHEN SHE BEGAN, I GOT EXCITED AND YELLED WHY DID YOU NOT TELL ME THIS IMMEDIATELY??? SHE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, "BECAUSE YOU WERE SO BUSY CALLING ME AN ALCOHOLIC AT THE TIME, THAT I ASSUMED YOU WOULD SAY THAT I WAS HALLUCINATING!!!" I LAUGHED SO HARD WITH HER. I SAID, MOTHER PLEASE TELL ME NOW. SHE BEGAN BY TELLING ME THAT SHE HAD BEEN VERY INTERESTED IN OUR TALKS A FEW DAYS AGO ABOUT THE OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCES. (BY THE WAY, MY MOTHER WAS TREMENDOUSLY PSYCHIC, BUT IT SCARED THE HELL OUT OF HER!) SHE WENT ON TO SAY, A NIGHT AGO, I LOOKED AT YOUR APARTMENT AND REALIZED HOW ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL IT WAS. ALSO, EVERYTHING IN IT HAD A VERY SOFT, GLOW/AURA AROUND IT? IT WAS REALLY BEAUTIFUL TO SEE. I WAS EXCITED AND ASKED HER TO CONTINUE. SHE SAID, NOT MUCH MORE TO SAY EXCEPT, IT SEEMED THAT I WAS LOOKING AT EVERYTHING FROM "ABOVE?" SHE SAID IT WAS IN THE EARLY MORNING WHEN SHE "THOUGHT" SHE WAS UP AND OUT OF BED, BUT SUDDENLY REALIZED HOW COULD SHE BE SO CLOSE TO THE CEILING IF SHE WAS STILL IN BED??? SHE WAS CALM AND VERY COOL ABOUT DESCRIBING ALL OF THIS TO ME AND WHEN I ASKED HER TO TELL ME MORE, SHE SIMPLY SAID......"THAT'S IT!" "BUT IT WAS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT FOR ME". IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, SHE DID HAVE AN AFTER THOUGHT TO GIVE TO ME.......SHE SAID, "THERE WAS SOMEONE ELSE HERE WITH ME SHOWING ME THINGS....IT WAS SOMEONE WHO IS NO LONGER ON THIS EARTH ALIVE, BUT SEEMS TO HAVE COME TO VISIT ME AND GREET ME DURING THE EXPERIENCE I WAS BEING GIVEN." MORE LATER......

LOVE AND LIGHT,
