Bad Luck

I've always had this thing for saying things would happen, and then they happen. It happens less frequently now, but it's still weird. One time, there was a tornado in our town. The night it happened, i said to my friend, "Watch our gym teacher's house get torn up and she gets landed in the hospital so we won't have gym for the rest of the semester." I bet you can guess what happened. Out of all the people, it was the GYM teacher. Out for the WHOLE semester. Another time, my brother asked me what true carnage meant. My example to him was that if someone drove a truck through someone's living room, it would be true carnage. My father got a call at about 4 AM saying someone had driven a truck though someone's living room and he needed to be there. Another time, i was joking to my friends about the pepper on our cheeseburgers being lice and we would all get lice. That very same day, there was a lice problem that came to our attention in our school. I think those things were pretty weird. Those were only three of the incidences, but it has happened many more times. I'M CURSED....1/30/2002

 

The Cardinal

On January 26, 2002, my best friend passed away, she had been diagnosed with Cancer two weeks before her death. Her physician told her she had a very short time to live. About three days before her death, we talked about about her meeting with her late husband, my late husband and son. I asked her to send me a sign that she was okay, she agreed she would. On the afternoon that she died, I returned home and my grandson was looking out the back window, he called my attention to a female Cardinal feeding on the ground, he then saw a male Cardinal, another male Cardinal, yet, another male Cardinal, and another male Cardinal, a total of 4 males and 1 female. There was my sign telling me she was okay. We figured the female, of course was her, one of the males was her husband, another my husband, another my son, we could not figure out who the 5th one represented. Later on in the evening, I received a telephone call from another close friend telling me that her husband had died that same afternoon...we felt he was the 5th Cardinal. Living in Vermont, we are fortunate to observe a pair of Cardinals...never have we seen 5 together at one time. To me this was my message from the other side...2/1/2002
 

Can You See

Since I was eight years old I have been able to see things and hear things that no body else can. I don't mean I can see spirits, what I am talking about is the past and sometimes what I think is the future. The sounds I hear are not only voices, but also things like horses running past my window, Indian drums beating in the distance, and even laughter of children. The phrase "If only these walls could speak, what store they could tell" and they do. I can be sitting a room, watching TV, and I will begin to "daydream" as my mother would tell me. And it started, like I said, when I was only eight years of age. I couldn't control it at all. When it was over I would snap out of it and have no memory of what just happened until what seemed like hours later. Now, when it happens I can pull myself out of it if I want to. But sometimes I don't. It's like I have fallen into a dream and it's the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen, and I don't want to come home. Unfortunately for me, it ends sooner or later whether I make it or not. I only stop the bad ones. The ones where parents are fighting and their children hide crying in the corner, or a mother has just said goodbye to her son and husband because they had to go fight a war.My mother would get very angry with me because these visions would interfere with my schoolwork. I was failing my classes because I was having fun watching other people live their lives in their realm from ours. At supper I wouldn't eat because one would come to me. There was nothing I could do until I was nearly twelve when I would draw myself out slowly. Eventually, I got to where I just wouldn't allow them. The scary thing is; I can remember nearly half of them today....2/11/2002
