Never say Never...part 2

Before I tell you about my reading with Medium McClure, I need to tell you about the atmosphere at Lily Dale.  It is very peaceful.  I spent alot of time walking around alone; gathering my thoughts and thinking about my faith. While walking, I past by a picnic area where a local church was picnicing.  They had a stereo set up and were playing the top music of the day.  When I walked by, the next song began...I recognized it as one I used to listen to at Grandma & Grandpa Altrui's house. I don't know the name of it, but it is sung  in Italian and it's about instruments. (I will try to find it on UTube and insert here.) I found it..open for a ride down memory lane:
Eh Combare by Julius LaRosa
The next day, while we were eating lunch, I heard the same song on the radio, coming from the kitchen. After it was done, popular music returned.  I have to say, I was intrigued.  What are the chances of hearing that song two days in a row.  That got me to thinking about my mother's parents...missing my grandmother's cooking, remembering the tailor shop..... I was wondering if maybe they were following me around Lily Dale!!

But the topper is when I was sitting outside the auditorium that afternoon, waiting for the doors to open.  A young woman approached me and asked if she could share the bench with us.  We pushed over to give her room.  A few minutes later, I could feel her looking at me, so I turned and smiled at her.  She smiled back and said, "Don't slouch!"  I burst out laughing!!  She was embarrased and said, "I don't know why I said that!"  Why, Grandpa Altrui used to say that to me all of the time!!!!  So now I know: they are both here walking with me.

Since I am writing about my grandparents, I am going to skip ahead to the end of my reading with Eileen McClure.  When the time was almost up, she asked if I had any questions.  I asked her if my grandparents were here.    She paused...then said, "Your grandparents on your mother's side are here. They are jealous of you coming here for your dad's side.   They are laughing...they say to tell you that they are together and are very happy."

I have to tell you that even before she told me this, I knew they were present, and I could feel their love. I can imagine them without deafness and vision problems and aches and pains, holding hands as they walk through Heaven.
