So I went and saw a Medium. Here's how it went.

Pappy and Myself

I know this may be a controversial post based on what others believe, but I'm just speaking my truth and about my experience. Now this is not something I ever thought I would do but an opportunity presented itself, so I went! One of my best friends went to a group session (she went to support one of her friends) and was very impressed. You don't give your full name and you only pay in cash so there is no way of her knowing who is coming ahead of time. She prays before she begins and explains that she see's pictures and will describe them. I thought, well my friend has similar beliefs to me and thought it was an interesting and positive experience, so why not?

What I believe

Meme and Pappy

Figure I will give you a little back ground on my current beliefs in the spiritual world. Yes, I believe in ghosts and spirits. I also believe in God and heaven, but also know I have no idea how it works and assume that our loved ones are able to stay in touch with us. From my own experience, I've had some life events that just makes me believe in it. The first loss I experienced was when my Grandmother Meme passed away from lung cancer when I was 24. Her and I were very close and talked to each other every Sunday night on the phone.  She is the one that taught me how to make beautiful floral arrangements and how strong a woman can truly be. When she passed, I would often pray and sometimes just talk to her out loud when I was in my car. I would often say, I wish there was a telephone to heaven so we could continue our weekly calls.

A Telephone to Heaven

My Meme

Now I would often dream of my Grandmother and they would feel so real and I would wake up in the middle because my brain would say you can't be hanging out with her she's gone. But to be honest, it felt so real, I really believe that I was talking to her. Maybe dreams are a telephone to heaven. There is one dream I will never forget and I have only told this to close friends and family. My dream started out very normal we were talking around her dinning room table about what she was going to do after our visit. She said she was going out with a friend. All of a sudden my brain did what it normally does and I said "Meme you can't be going out with your friend because you're dead" She looked me right in the eye and started talking very serious and said "You know I can still hear you right"? My dream changed from us sitting at a table to me laying on my back in a bed and she was standing by my side. I started to cry and said "You can still hear me"? She responded "I hear you always" I told her I missed her so much and she started to cry and said "Oh honey I miss you too" I reached for her in my dream and held her hand and she said in a shocked voice "I can feel that" And then I woke up in my bed laying on my back with my hand out.

Why am I going?

I have since lost two more Grandparents and I would truly love to talk to them again, but they're not the reason I'm going. My husband has recently lost both of his parents in the past 3 years suddenly. There isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't miss them and wish he could call them and tell them the funny thing that Jax our son just said or did. You know, the simple things that we all take for granted today. I have yet to dream of his parents and would love to bring him back some kind of message from them. I'm  hoping to talk/hear from his Mother the most.  Now, I'm not going in with high hopes and if they don't come through that's okay, but I'm wearing the necklace she gave me that says daughter. She always wanted to have a daughter and when Casey married me she said she final got her wish.

My Experience

I have to say I both liked and didn't like it. The best thing that happened was a friend of mine came and she was hoping that her father would talk to her. Her father died when she was just a baby and she always wondered what it would be like for her to have met him. Now the Medium knew nothing about us before we came. We didn't even give our names, so there was no way she would know about my friends father and the door that sticks in her bathroom. I think it was a great comfort for her to know that her Dad is still with her.  He also told her that all of the things that she thinks makes her different from the rest of the family, she got from him...plus his good looks!

For me none of my loved ones came through, but she did have some advice about my career and businesses. I don't know how she would know our plans for the future. For example our plans to expand our current business and my idea of creating a brand of my own. It was a comfort when she said don't worry, it won't not be too much, you'll be fine. She also said that there was another baby floating around. My husband and I are still trying to decide if we want to have another one. I really liked how she explained that the souls that become our children choose us. Pretty cool to think that my son saw us from heaven and wanted us to raise him.

Would I do it again?

I would have to say I think so! I do wish that my loved ones would have come through and not just advice. I was pretty disappointed that no one could take a break from having a good time in heaven, but maybe it would be different if I came another time. She seemed to get everything right with other peoples loved ones. She described my one friends grandmother perfectly -- she showed me a picture of her and it was pretty amazing!  I also just really enjoyed learning more about my friends and hearing other stories in the room, and I feel more connected with the friends I went with on another level. If it's all just smoke and mirrors, I do think it was all worth it. Pretty amazing to see the smiles on everyones faces when they thought of their loved ones standing beside them and guiding them through the rest of their years to come.
