Another family story….

November has always been birthday month. My husband, several friends, my mom and my brother John are/were all November babies.

My brother John was 6 years older and the closest to me in age. My other 2 brothers were 8 and 10 years older.

In 2007, John was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He only lived for 7 weeks after his diagnosis. My husband and I visited him every day while he was in the hospital and then in hospice. He was my favorite brother.

After he passed, he came to me one day when I was meditating. He looked radiant. I said to him “So, tell me what it’s like on the other side…”

He looked at me and said, “Ya know how they say that when a baby is in the womb it hears the mother’s heartbeat? Well, that’s what it’s like. You’re always swimming in God’s ocean of love and you’re always connected to God’s heartbeat. And you physical beings are too; you just don’t know it.”

I’m not religious. But that was beautiful.

I also asked him why he had made so many dumbass choices in his life. (I won’t get into it here but trust me, he did some stupid stuff.)

He said, “Never judge other people’s choices. What you call stupid was actually educating me. I’m now very well equipped to help people going through these challenges. I know how to help because I lived it.”

Something to think about.

I’m glad you’re here💜
