"You never call me!"

No matter how often I would call my Mother, she would always start a conversation with me by saying "I haven't heard from you in a week!"  I would say "Mother I just talked to you two days ago!" That was many years before she died.

 Last week I was sitting at lunch in Saraland, Alabama in a place called Catfish Junction.   All of  my first cousins got together while I was in Alabama at home visiting.  I was sitting next to my Mother's only living sibling my Aunt De Lois and her youngest daughter Lee Anne, who is now 50.  My aunt said to Lee Anne, "I never hear from you!" "You never call me."  I could tell that Lee Anne was thinking before she spoke, and she said "That's because you already know everything I have to tell you."  Her mother responded "Yeah but I want to hear it from you!"  Then Aunt De Lois followed up with "You're gonna be sorry some day." By that she was saying, one day I am going to be dead and gone, and you will miss me and wish you could talk to me.  I added my two cents into this mother daughter exchange of words, and said "Boy that's the truth!"  Whether your mother is dead or not, she misses you, and wants to hear from you.

 I was reading for a woman this week, who has had family members who have also come to see me. Their Mother died in a car accident not so long ago.  The first time I read for one of her children she came through with clarity. However this reading wasn't going as smoothly as most, with a lot of hits and misses, with it seeming to me there were a lot more misses than hits.  Suddenly her Mother's energy with great force and little warning gave me goose bumps covering my body from head to toe!  I closed my eyes.  I saw an angel.  It was a mighty angel with huge large wings. I said "I'm seeing an angel!" Then I heard "song".  I said "You are hearing a song and thinking of your Mother!"  She said without taking a breath "In The Arms of An Angel".  She said "I was getting out of my car just today when it came on and I stopped, getting back in my car just to listen to it!"  "I was thinking of her!"  At that point I was doubled over from the waist down, and had unusual nausea, along with chest pains. In order for her mother to show up the way she did, she drained me energetically, and I was left as a bundle of emotion and feeling ill.  I could see the image of her mother in a close bodily embrace with her daughter, and  she was weeping.  I told the client what I was seeing and how I was feeling.  As quickly as this Mother's love came though, she left.  The mother in spirit made her exit as quickly as she made her entry.  I was crying as I can feel the emotion.  Her mother came though to show her love, and validate that she knew her daughter was listening to a song about an angel, and thinking of her.

Another client said to me this week, "A mother is only as happy as her unhappiest child."  I immediately thought of my children.  No matter how wonderful things are for me, if one of my children is having difficulties, I am thinking about them and their concerns. I am sorry to tell you that I believe this is true even after death.  I believe that we stay attached to our children's energy, and we never stop loving.  My sister said to me, "If you are telling me that we can still know what is going on here on earth after death, I don't want to hear it."  I wish I could tell you that after death we go sit at the feet of Jesus, and live in a blissful state of floating on clouds, but I personally do not get it that way.  After death we are still working on getting things right, including sending love to our children.  We go to be with God indeed, but what happens there is not without the memory of our loved ones.

I have another client who was a small child when her Mother was murdered in front of her.  All of her life she carried those memories of that tragic afternoon.  She had called me for a reading.  After receiving confirmation that her Mother was still around her, along with specific details proving her Mother had been with her through out the years of her growing up, she took steps to do something she never thought she would have the courage to do.  Through all of the legal channels, she requested permission to meet face to face with her mother's killer who is and has been serving a life sentence in prison.

It is Mother's Day.  My Father, died on Mother's Day.  He was an only child.  His Mother loved him more than any love ever known.  She was so proud of him.  When she was in her 80's and he was in his 60's she would say "This is my boy."  I believe his soul deliberately waited to leave the physical body, to go home on Mother's Day as a gift to his mother in spirit.

Call your Mother!  She can hear you.  You do not need to go to the cemetery to visit her, but you can if you choose.  She will know.  If your mother is still living, use the phone.  It is a lot easier on everybody.   This Mediumship thing isn't all that it is cracked up to be I want you to know.  I have had a pretty easy go at it through the years with information and validation coming from loved ones who have passed.  I am still learning though about what my job is, and how I have to care for myself while doing this work.
