I
was standing in the front of my home, alone, with his dog that he left with us,
very early in the AM, around 2:00 am. It was very dark and quiet.
Standing outside near the front door, that he would walk in and out of
for the last 7 years, in very deep
thought and sadness about my father never walking up the walk way again. That I
would never see him walk up the street again, from his car. That I would never
see him again come through that door. That I would never see him again siting in
his chair under the large oak trees that he and his doggy would sit under and
his dog would chase squirrels and and he would watch the babies for me while I
would work. I was talking to him, asking where was he now? What was he doing?
Are you ok?
Then, all of a sudden, quickly, I thought I heard something, and for a split
second, I was spooked, because I was deeply thinking of him, I was not aware of
my surroundings,. So, I focused my
attention outward looking around for someone coming my way, that caused me to
hunch down a little to hid myself a little, just in case there was someone
there. Then I calmed myself, as I did not see anyone immediately in my sight,
but then, all within seconds, It was as if my whole body was fully electrocuted,
and flicked like a rubber band a full body effect all at once, but my
body did not flick, just a severe effect internally or as if something literally
passed through me but with force of electrical sensation and rubber band feeling
all at once. Like in a movie where a thing passes through someone or something.
The only thing I can liken it too, is the movie ghost. Where the spirit passes
through. This all happened in
seconds, not minutes.
I
initially had to check myself, check my body. Thinking I was literally HIT by
something, thinking someone may have just shot me (my dads ashes are in shotgun
shells because he loved guns). I
checked my heart, seeing if maybe I just had a weird stroke or seizure. BUT my
heart was actually beating nice and slow and I was NOT feeling physically
unwell. I have had panic attacks before, but this was not like that (although
rare). Once, I realized I was not physically injured, I was wondering, what was
that??!!!
I
walked around to the back yard where my husband was and began to tell him what
had just happened and the only thing he said, was "it must have been your dad"!
To
this day, I do believe he must have literally walked through me, to tell me he
was still with us. I still do not know for sure what that was about, just
speculation. There have been many
other incidences and I even THINK, I caught a picture of him observing us all,
at a distance, after his celebration for life. It is incredible. Still all very
hard to believe. I am praying for the Lord to allow my daddy to come and visit
us, even for a millisecond. I do believe all is possible with the Lord.
I
still do not know what that was. Writing this causes me to realize that it
impacted me so much that I pretty sure I will never forget what I experienced.
