What a morning? Hello Everyone, something to ponder…………….
I awoke this morning, January 30th, 2017 to the date of February 21st in my head so strongly, then, I walked around my house and seemed obsessed with the fact that every clock in our house was wrong. They were all off by 5 to 10 minutes, all different but off. I told my husband and said we can’t be late.We had already gotten up a little off track and left the house still late. The journey to our children’s school usually takes about 35 minutes and with two precious children in the back, driving beyond the speed limit was not an option. We went on our way and I tried to forget about it.
All of a sudden I remembered I had looked at a photo of My godmother (who passed away several years back) last night. I had stood still for a moment and thought of the days of the past with a smile on my face. Then, without notice, I felt my Godmother, Auntie Nell, around me in the car. Her hands were literally on the steering wheel. Then it struck me, Auntie Nell, loved Honda cars and drove one herself when she was alive. Before I could think further, she was looking at me face forward from the dash board window and said quietly, “Be careful Yvonne”. Yikes, my mind went crazy about what, when, where, or who? I thought just keep driving, stay calm, everything will be okay. The very next thing I noticed was that I made it to the school in record time, ten minutes early. As I let the children out of the car in the car line I was stunned. I thought do I need to pull over to think about this, I didn’t speed, there is no way I should have been here ten minutes before time? I left late and should have been at the school late not early, what? Did I loose time again. It had been a year or so since this had happened………..what was going on now?
On the drive home, this wouldn’t go away and I started to think about Auntie Nell and God. A song came on the radio about Feeling Heaven and I felt great. Then, all of a sudden I seen all this smoke in the air, like a massive fire somewhere. Traffic didn’t seem to be halted so I kept going. Then, all of a sudden, I come around the corner to an intersection and I see it. There is a car on fire about to explode and another car completely smashed. The police are there but no sign of the Fire brigade….the Police are just about to close off the road and I am the first car in line. The Police Officer said it just happened. I was over whelmed with what my godmother said to me “Be careful Yvonne”. I was in so much shock, I began to cry uncontrollably. I looked at the time on the clock, I should have been there at that time. It was the only road I can go to get to the school and it was on the other side of the road, where we should have been at that time. I cried the whole way home and thought FAITH………thanked Auntie Nell and God………………………..My mother got the first call when I reached the house and we both stopped and gasped…………….
FAITH YOU CAN’T SHAKE IT….
Below is the photo I looked at of Auntie Nell and myself the night before. I am profoundly grateful and as for that February 21st date, my mother told me that’s the date of my mom’s other only living sister, Constance and Uncle Noel’s wedding anniversary. Uncle Noel is deceased… Feel free to share your stories, All the very best, Yvonne………………………….
