They Are Never Gone

I was raised by a very Catholic family. No ghost or talking to the dead! Well at least until my mom started to go with me to Spirit Fairs about 5 years before she passed away in 2015. She was witness to my dad coming through to the medium and giving a message with concrete evidence that it was him. She went from being a skeptic to being a full believer! We had some of our best times talking about the afterlife and tarot cards. She was diagnosed with Colon Cancer in 2012. She fought until October 3, 2015. The week before when she knew her time was growing closer, we laid in her bed and talked about her transition and how she thought it might be.  Who would she get to see on the other side? My dad, her husband of 24 years and her parents and her big brother. Do not get me wrong, she feared the unknown, but she had faith that was as strong as anyone I had ever met.  As we laid there, I reminded her that she and I would still be able to communicate since I have been talking to people on the other side since I could remember. She looked at me stunned and said, “I have no idea how to do that”! I guaranteed her that someone over there would show her how. It might not be for a while, but I was positive that she would get the hang of it.

If you knew my mom, she could do anything, absolutely anything. My dad had passed over 30 years before, so she was used to doing anything that needed to be done by herself. She prided herself in that. She would always say “I can do it; I am Ted Dunn’s daughter after all”. That was my grandpa, more on him later.

So, it was no surprise that within a couple of months my oven light started going on and off. I remember sitting on the couch and thinking what the heck is wrong with that. I was still in such a state of grief that it never occurred to me that it was her. Then every day I would happen to look at the clock and it was 12:17pm EVERYDAY!  I would say welp it’s my birthday again. Still not connecting the dots! My mom loved to celebrate our birthdays. Cake, ice cream, presents and feeling that we were the most special people in the world. So of course, she is going to show me my birthday!

My dad has always left me quarters from heaven. No pennies from him, he went right to the big coin! I would find them on my car seat, in the middle of my bed, on the floor that I had just swept. I know they were from him and love it so much. Then I started finding dimes – just like the quarters I have been finding for years.

Then it hit me – My gosh this is mom! She was probably on the other side shaking her head at me. The daughter that could talk to the dead, read energy, and give messages from Spirit could not recognize her own mom.

Since that Aha moment we connect all the time. Of course, it is not the same as if she was here in the physical, but it is beautiful and loving.

Please know that if your loved one has passed from this physical life, you can still connect with them. They will leave you coins, you might see an orb in a picture or notice your birthday on the clock.

Have a beautiful day friends!
