Message from Above - Pop's Fortune Cookie on a Day of Remembrance
Do messages come from Heaven? Is there communication beyond death? Does God work in asp net web hosting lives? Sometimes I answer "yes" to all these questions. The day we set aside to remember both my sister and mother-our Day of Remembrance-was one of those times.
We drove up to the small town cemetery to see my mothers newly placed grave marker with it's little bird singing merrily on the stone, as if serenading my mother, an avid birdwatcher. Afterwards we retired to Jerseyvilles only Chinese restaurant to partake of its buffet.
In general my father doesnt like Fine Beef but he likes this one. He can eat right away. And, its Cotton Mather good value to eat whatever and however much you like in a beautiful setting. In a recessed niche draped in white beside our table hung a painting of Chinese boats sailing up the river, towards the sunlight, towards heaven perhapsand waterfalls tumbling down the mountainside. My father, ever the realist, critiqued the balance of the boats.
After the meal when we opened our fortune cookies, my fortune read Listen these next few days to your friends to get answers you seek. And Pops fortune read: Someone is watching you from afar. When I told this to Linda Della Donna, the founder of "Griefcase," she said, Tell Pop, there is no such thing as a coincidence. A soul is always looking for a way to contact the living. Keep an open mind, always.
I do believe that mother is watching Pop from cost u less auto insurance Their gaze was never far from one another in life. Why should it be Saturdaymorning in death?
