While we were camping, we were taking a walk around the campground. A very large family were camping nearby. Cooper, a cute blond seven year old, came over to me on his scooter. Cooper and my interaction was so natural; so spiritual. The feelings, even though surprising, were so beautiful.
Cooper's family were close by and I was amazed by what a family member told me about the recent loss of Cooper's grandmother and, in addition, informing me that his mother had just walked out on her family. Cooper had such insight as he unsurprisingly knew what to ask me. His words came out so naturally, so beautifully, that I reacted in kind. It was an amazing interaction. I hope he continues to reach out and receive all the love a seven year old unconditionally needs.
SO NATURAL
We were strolling through the campground
passing by a large family group sitting outside.
A cute seven year old scooted up to me and asked,
"Are you here to find me?"
He asked so naturally, so full of love,
as I to him in return answered, "Yes."
I bent down to his level and he hugged me
so tightly, so beautifully; then he was off.
A family member came over and said,
"His grandmother just died.
She had short hair just like you";
while sadly adding,
"His mother just walked out on him too."
I felt Grandma used me as a vessel
to let her grandson know he is forever loved.
She, hopefully through me, gave him reassurance
that love is always and forever around him.
It was so natural; so normal for him to reach out.
I believe he saw my spirit; my soul.
He recognized unconditional love
and reached out knowing it would be there
through his maternal Grandmother's natural
and forever loving spirit.

THE PURPOSE
I suffered a ruptured appendix six years ago this coming October. While being treated in the Emergency Room, I had an out of body experience. It was the most normal feeling and I knew the answers to the universe. My thought now is that life is not that complicated as we all seem to think it is. I felt pure love, but strongly knew it wasn’t my time.
I felt to honored and humbled to have had that amazing experience, but what do I do with it? It was so profound and wonderful and I had no clear answers. All of my family and friends know all about it, but I do not share it much further except for my hospice patients and families. I share it occasionally one-on-one. Those few times I have shared, it has always been so profound to whom I have told.
We met “Tom” and his sister, “Marilyn” ten days ago to admit him to our Palliative Care program. I shared my out-of-body experience with both of them as felt guided to do so. Tom is now hospitalized and does qualify for hospice. I called Marilyn to let her know that we will visit tomorrow to do the hospice admission. It was then she thanked me for sharing my experience. Marilyn, too, has cancer like her brother. I am so glad my words may have help ease their stress even for just a little.
I truly believe that I had this experience to help others cross over. I feel that I was selected to cross over as I am in the environment where the folks who may need to hear it are in my world too. Maybe there is no rhyme or reason, but I hope to continue to support and share when I am guided from above.
THE PURPOSE
Six years ago this Fall,
I crossed over to the other side.
It lasted less than a minute,
but is profound in impacting my life.
It brought up questions of "Why?"
"What is it all about?
What was the purpose?
What am I to do with it all?"
I share it now and then
with patients and families.
I trust my words always,
as am guided from above.
I met she and her brother ten days ago.
We admitted him to our Palliative Care program.
I felt an urge to share and I did.
I spoke about my visit to the other side.
He is now hospitalized and hospice appropriate.
I called her and said we will admit him to hospice.
The first thing she said was to thank me for
"Talking to us about heaven."
"It was so amazing and helpful to us both,
knowing that there is another, loving world.
My cancer has now spread to my lungs and liver.
I ask that you now pray for me as well."
I truly believe the purpose of it all
is for me to tell folks one-on-one.
To give them the gift of my experience
by letting me share from my heart.
That truly is one amazing and
magnificent purpose.

TELLING ME
My dear cousin, Jack, died almost three months ago after a short illness. Jack and I grew up together and were so close. We traveled the world together on amazing vacations, but the best thing about my cousin is how much he made me laugh. Jack and I often would start laughing so hard together. Folks with us would then say, "There they go again."
It was wonderful.
Jack had been living in a mobile home park until he had to move out as could no longer live alone. I was there with other family members packing up things he would need with his move. When it was time for all of us go leave, it took two of my cousins twenty minutes to help Jack get down the front steps. That image leaves such a sad spot in my heart.
Four days ago I was delivering some supplies to a hospice family. I was helping out the team as I had time to drive to the patient's home. Halfway there, I suddenly realized that it was Jack's mobile home park. I drove in past his mobile home and saw a strange car in the driveway. The new owners had moved in. It brought up such sadness to me.
Today, four days later, I did a hospice admission in a retirement community where Jack lived prior to moving into his mobile home. This was a large complex with six buildings. The patient's apartment was only four doors down from Jack's apartment. While still in the parking lot, I looked up to the sky and said to Jack, "What are you doing to me?" Laughing while I said it.
This coincidence is letting me know that Jack is, and always will be, around. I know he is laughing in heaven. I promise you Jack that your memories will always make me laugh and chuckle at all of those funny times we had together. But, on the other hand, I do and will always miss you. It is such an beautiful feeling knowing that Jack is still around.
TELLING ME
Four days ago I made a visit
to a patient's mobile home park.
Halfway there, I suddenly realized
the last time I was there.
It was the day you moved out.
No longer able to live alone;
needing twenty-four hour help.
Leaving the home you loved.
Sadness hit me quietly;
telling me how much I so miss you.
Remembrance of that fateful day
like it all just happened yesterday.
Today I did a hospice admission.
The patient lived where you lived before.
Four doors down from your apartment.
Bringing up memories of fun times past.
What is it all about?
Bringing me to places where you have lived.
Recalling the fun times while visiting you;
telling me about our extraordinary past.
Coincidences are signs from above;
but this time I know it is you
telling me that your spirit is nearby;
telling me that you are still loving me,
and will always be,
forevermore around.
