Next
day I called Rose for Marie's daughter's phone
number in Pennsylvania. I asked Dave what happened
and he told me that it shouldn't have happened.
He told me it was
heart
surgery
that failed. We talked awhile and he said he'd
be back on the 15th and had to answer other incoming
calls so we disconnected.
A few days later, at approximately
6:00a.m.,
I
was awakened by a feeling of a presence
over my bed.
I jumped up
and naturally headed for the bathroom, feeling
the presence even stronger. Getting back into
bed, the impression came that I was about to receive
a message. My eyes felt heavy and as I closed
them, I saw a newly constructed double house;
like a duplex.
They were not side by side, but front
to back, connected by a hallway. I saw myself
looking over this new construction and walked
into a bathroom in the front part. There were
no walls, but there was a brand new bathtub in
the bathroom. I saw a white face cloth and white
bar of Dove soap.
I picked up
the cloth with the intentions of washing my face
and realized there was no water yet. I could see
behind the tub. There was a crawl space under
the floor. I walked back into the
hall where I could see the second half of this
new structure and I saw a living room newly furnished
and a bedroom further back. There was a married
couple sleeping. I realized
I
was in someone else's living quarters,
so
I went back to the bathroom. Suddenly the couple
came in there. She was wearing a white turtleneck
long sleeve tee shirt and light colored blue jeans.
He was wearing dark trousers and no shirt. Bare
chest. He came in last and saw that there was
a need for water. He asked his wife to get him
a tool. She brought it to him and he reached beside
the tub down into that empty space and cut a u
shaped pipe with a crossbar toward the bottom
connecting the copper tubing. He gave it to
me saying,
Be
sure you ask the Master plumber to fix my plumbing
for me."
I
agreed to do this. His wife then said, "There
is someone here to see you."
She pointed to the hallway.
I
walked over to my friend Marie who was standing
there with a little girl of about 3 or 4 years
of age! They were both beautifully radiant.
Marie
and I wrapped our arms around each other and cried
with joy. "Oh
Marie, you look so beautiful!"
I cried. I laid my head on her right shoulder
and we cried together even more. Then I realized
my tears were getting the shoulder of her long
gown wet . I apologized as we looked lovingly
into each others eyes. "You
look so beautiful. Where are you going?"
I
asked her.
"To a wedding." She
replied. The little girl was also wearing a long
gown. Their gowns were rather plain but elegant.
Simple but beautiful. They both wore a ring of
flowers around their head on top, flat.
One of them was wearing a pink gown and the other
gown was yellow. I can't remember who wore which.
I also was wearing a gown of the same kind. The
child never spoke but stayed constantly at Marie's
side. It was obvious there was much love between
them. Every step Marie took, the child was at
her side.
We
talked about love and forgiveness
and
other things including how happy we were to see
each other. Then she told me they had to go and
she asked me to walk outside with them. We crossed
a street and stood at an intersection talking
and embracing once more. I told her to remember
when she got to the wedding to ask everyone for
their forgiveness for anything and everything
and tell them that she also forgives them for
anything and everything that ever happened, but
most of all to show them Love. "Tell
them how much you love them"
I
said.
"I will," Marie
answered.
