The 1st December , already. Was reminded today of something that happened a year after my nan died (20th December 2000) that I wanted to share..
My Nan was a second mum to me, we lived in each others pockets. We had a family nickname .".the two wombles"...as we could be found wandering town slowly putting the world to rights. After she died I was lost, took a long long time to find me again (quite like how I feel now that Mum has gone).
Anyway, I never believed really in spiritual signs or anything like that at that point in my life, did not really have any answers. The night of my nans funeral, I went to bed leaving my hubby downstairs. As I lay in the dark, I felt a pair of hands tuck the covers around me tightly , as had happened when I was a child. I shouted out my hubbys name, adding "why ARE you tucking me in?!!!". At this point my hubby galloped upstairs gaving heard me on the baby monitor." It wasnt me, " he told me , very bemused. At that point I knew it was my Nan, tucking me in to keep me safe as she had done many times before. I then believed in something more than this, as yet I still do not have the answers to what.
ON the first anniversary of my Nans death, it was Tthe first day of the school christmas holidays so we had decided to have a lie-in. AT 6.52 am, my alarm clock radio switched on, radio 2 , at the start of a song I had never heard before. I had not set the alarm, it was not set, and when I treid to turn it off it would not stop playing. The song was one of the most poignant songs I have ever heard, I had never before heard that song, and have never since heard it on the radio, have had to download a copy to keep.
It reafirmed what I now believe and I am now looking every day for a sign that Mum is here with me still, but nothing as yet. i still dont have any answers but I still very much need to believe that this is just a part of our journey.
The song was " Every December sky" by Beth nielson Chapman, and you may want to listen for yourself xx
