| AND HEAVEN OPENED UP .......
|
|
|
I have never been one to believe in the hereafter or things....although there have been stories that I've heard that are pretty amazing. I am the original 'Doubting Thomas'. If you want me to believe then "prove it".. Most ppl cannot.... but it has finally happened and I do believe in the miracles of life and life beyond.
As most know I lost my little 5 yr. old grandson Scottie 9 months ago to cancer. He was very ill from birth and his little body finally said 'enough' and he died August 29, 2007. I have posted on him before and have 'purged' the pain I feel. This site has helped me so much. After I write about my feelings and then do the crying thing I do feel better. Its very theraputic.
Last Saturday it was his 6th birthday and again I posted on the wonderful tribute we gave him. Special it was bc I had ppl there that supported me and held me up when I didn't think I could stand. It meant a great deal to see them there and know that they cared so much and it wasn't all 'lip service'....yes it meant a lot.
I sent up balloons of so many colors....I had my jeep filled with these helium filled wonders of all colors and in 'some' of them and on 'some' of them I had information.....like...I put...'whoever finds this'.....sort of thing.
I had copied that beautiful poem of CD and put that in a few. I was curious as to what would happen to these balloons. I knew that most would just keep going until they burst....but you always hear of stories where strange things happen...so I did it.
I haven't gotten my mail in several days and yesterday on my way home I stopped and picked up the 'ton' of stuff that was shoved in the box. Who would think one woman could get sooooo much freaking shit? But I digress.....sorry. In my mailbox were two postcards.....didn't even know they had those anymore. These were postmarked from a long ways away and I didn't read them right there. I shoved them in the pile and left. Last nite I finally had a chance to go through all the things and got to these 2 little postcards. One was from a woman that found one of my balloons in her yard with my pobox and she said how when she read it she just cried and thought of Scottie. His picture was posted on the side of the balloon and she said how she knows she has another 'angel' watching out for her now. She was a true sweetheart. The second postcard was different....different postmark....different writing (almost scribbling), just so different. It said "Thank you for the balloons....I love them. Love Scottie". I sat there and just stared at this card.....The tears just poured from my eyes. I screamed for my daughter and she too just stared at this card. I will never know who actually sent this card but I will forever be indebted to them. They gave me back my precious little angel.
No one will ever tell me again that there is no goodness in the world. No one will ever tell me that compassion is gone. Never will I ever listen to someone say "God is dead". It will never again be in my life this negativity about ppl. One person took the time to bring joy and happiness back to more than a few with that postcard and those words. I still get chills when I look at it which is now framed with ColoradoDreamins beautiful poem. It looks wonderful on my wall. I read those lovely words each nite and smile at my sweet little boy's picture. I love the one especially with him 'saluting' (the one on my pics here). This child has touched hearts from Pa to Australia....from MD to the UK. He is a true miracle child in so many ways.
So when you think that you're 'done'...when you think 'I've had it'....when you think 'I will never believe in anything again'......just remember that one little 5 yr old boy......opened the gates of heaven........Karen

You know, it all comes down to the fact that you believe, that you experienced something special and no one has any right to make you feel that you didn't. Sometimes I kind of think that it goes along with the bear shitting in the woods theory, maybe that ghost in the corner was meant for you and you alone and no matter how much you try to prove that it was there to someone else, you never can, I hope that made sense, anyway...

By the way, what in the Hell are YOU doing listening to people say that there's no good in the world, anyway? Aren't you an example of the good, isn't that enough to prove that there is?
I need to really watch my comments typing wise I read them later and the poor typing looks like I'm communicating in Ancient Sumatran...

I realize there are good ppl out there...and I must look at this postcard whenever I start to doubt that. I wish I could find this person and just hold them and let them know what they did for me...but maybe...just maybe it was Scottie...:) what a wonderful thought...

What an amazing story. I have chills and tears in my eyes. I have always believed (even in the darkest moments) that goodness is more abundant than evil. This story needs to be published in a national publication to inspire the world. Blessings To You Always, Karen
