In 2009, my spouse of 24 years transitioned.  In 2012, our Jack Russel…OBE…transitioned that July.  By 2013, I found myself in Chicago visiting and asked God to just take care of me while I was visiting.  But it was much more…it was a simple and sincere asking…no doubt nor resistance. I just asked to be taken care of and supported.  When I returned home to Atlanta 2 days later,  that night when I went to sleep I went into a deep trance while falling asleep.  I left my body and was now in a different “dimension”.  It was dark and hard for my eyes to adjust, but Obe jumped up on my bed as he used to all the time.  I automatically reached for him and could feel the rough tuft of hair on his back and his muscles underneath his skin.  I picked him up and placed him gently on the bed as I had always done.  Then…that is when I felt my husband’s arms wrap around me.  I also felt other arms which I have learned since were family (mom, dad, nephew…) and other ancestors I had never met letting me know that I am loved, supported and never alone.  We are all loved and supported in ways we can never imagine (smile).  God truly answered my request and let me know…everything is alright!
