Sorry for the self-absorption here.<br /><br />You asked about my interactions with Uncle Byrd, it was really interesting, he would tell me it would be ok, to "buck up" and I also would ask for his help with getting through various parts of the pregnancy and I feel like he was involved in helping things go smoothly, he worked behind the scenes a lot but I always felt his presence. <br /><br />I promise I usually don't do multiple posts like this.Heather Grovesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23123314.post-68533671541498050202009-10-27T10:12:26.921-04:002009-10-27T10:12:26.921-04:00Julie I wish you could have seen grandmom, she had...Julie I wish you could have seen grandmom, she had on dancing shoes and a sparkly dress and she still looked her age at death, but she was snapping her fingers (so I guess the arthritis was gone) and... grooving to some inner music... is the best way to describe it.

In my imaginings now her hands are healthy and no longer painful and she can hold a card hand with no trouble. <br /><br />I do remember your history. In our 20s I remember thinking you never gave yourself enough credit as far as all of that. But then, I have a tendency not to do that myself.<br /><br />I find the fact that Byrd visited you fascinating. He never struck me as the talkative type.<br /><br />Thanks for posting this. It made me feel better.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347195133326535822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23123314.post-88678084416699427682009-10-27T09:49:45.610-04:002009-10-27T09:49:45.610-04:00Mine are in preschool so we will go trick or treat...Mine are in preschool so we will go trick or treating I think since they are already exposed to who knows what in their classrooms. <br /><br />Funny things about voices when there is mental illness in the family (you remember my history, right Julie?) I have had the same experience with deceased family members talking to me after their death, in a couple different ways. One occurred after my Uncle Byrd died shortly before I was scheduled to undergo IVF. I undergoing IVF. I was in an emotional black hole and he would sit next to me in the car on the drive home and talk to me (I decided it must be real b/c he and I were not close in life) and then I found out that my egg extraction was on Apr 4th, which was his birthday. So I talked to him in the operating room and told him I needed his help and we had great eggs and beautiful embryos and I talked to him throughout my pregnancy,especially the tough parts, like where I was pg with triplets and one died at 10 weeks... after the twins were born he left. Grandmom also visited once when I was looking for my wedding negatives and I asked for help from the universe to find them (granted I was on percocet at the time for a surgery I had undergone) but as clear as day she visited me and told me that she had more important things to do than help me find photos, she needed to dance, and she danced away (I did find the photos the next day, but again I take it as a real visitation because if I had imagined it she would have been much less fed up with me, but this was vintage grandmom). I have others, but I should stop now since this is your blog, not mine. But I believe in the veil thinning, although I think it does it a couple of times a year, not just during Samhain, alhtough that is the big one for it I suppose. My visitations always occur in the spring and summer now that I think about it....
