I got to the .
I'm a sidewalker part and nearly stopped.
I then pressed on.
LOL, understood,
about half way through I was thinking “Damn, this is already a long post and I
didn’t even tell him the story yet”…but it needed context or the story wouldn’t
make sense, so I rambled, sorry.
That sounds like a ummm, very rewarding thing you do .
Nice work man.
You got
that right, it’s was very rewarding, and in the end, it’s was always more
therapeutic for me than it was for the kids.
But NO
The milk is sour.
I don't like it.
There was no old lady.
I’m not
gonna disagree with you, I’d be inclined to think that myself and I’m certainly
not above imagining shit, but what really gets to me is, whatever I think I saw,
the girl saw it too. But still, that’s only
two of the seven people that were there, for five of the people there, you are probably
right, “there was no old lady”.
Nothing magical happened.
If angels where real. Youtube would have footage of them.
Number 7.
I told
the story because I think it’s relevant to the question the OP asked, but “afterlife”
or “angel” is only one possible explanation, there are a lot of ways to think
about it, but for me at least, I do have to think something magical happened and be glad it did,
I just don’t know exactly what happened.
It would be REAL difficult for a ummm , A half "Smart" person to be able to believe in Angels .
That wouldn't be easy.
I completely
agree, intellectually speaking, I’m still a skeptic, that’s why I used the
Beatles quote, all I’m really certain about is that I have a “feeling”, that in
some way, I had some kind of encounter with that girl’s grandmother, I can’t
really wrap my intellect around it. I'm definately not "selling" here, just telling a story that I think people looking in this thread will find interesting.
I'd try and chalk that off as .
Maybe you are remembering something wrong.
Quite
possible, but it is a very vivid memory that hasn’t changed over time.
Orrrrr
Being on a farm . Magic mushrooms.
You Tripped over in cow poo and ate a blue meanie.
LOL, I’ll
admit I was high when I typed the post, but I was straight up when this
happened, but hey, with my long history, I guess a “flashback” isn’t out of the question.
I can picture if you see that you shouldn't of stopped looking at it.
Maybe start walking in that direction.
It wasn’t
like that, I only think I saw her for a few seconds, just long enough for her to
startle me into paying attention with her smile, the next moment I had a crisis
on my hands that had my undivided attention for the next ten minutes or so, it
was only afterward that I even remembered and wanted to thank her.
And if you lost sight of her and everyone else says they didnt see her.
You
see, that’s the thing, everyone else didn’t see her, just me and the girl. I’m thinking you called it right, at least for
the five other people that were there (and you), there was no old lady, but
the girl and I did see an old lady, beyond that, I don’t have a clue how this
works. The story is true, but it’s only a
true description of an experience I had, I’m not trying to offer it as any kind
of proof that what I think I saw was necessarily “real”, or maybe it’s real for
me and not real for you, it’s been over ten years and I still haven’t figured
it out.
You would of been FRANTICALLY and irradicly running around looking for this old lady.
Like I
said, it was a minutes later that I even remembered the old lady, and who
knows, maybe that’s all I did, maybe I just remembered an old lady at the
coincidentally exact right moment. The
experience only became strange very slowly, when she wasn’t there afterwards, I
just assumed she’d be back in the staging area with everybody else, when she
wasn’t there, maybe she already left. Untill
what her Mom told me, I didn’t suspect that anything unusual had happened.
Do you remember carrying on like somewhat of an idiot trying REAL hard to find her. ?
No, but
afterward I remember carrying on like an idiot in my mind trying REAL hard to
figure out what the fuck just happened. Mom shocked the hell out of me when she
told me that, I really doubt it, but for all I know Grandma was in the rest
room and Mom was just jerking me around, anything is possible. I can tell you this happened relatively early
in the day, and the rest of the day I was walking around that arena thinking
WTF...and thank God nobody else’s horse went down that day, because by then my
mind was wandering all over the place and I really really wasn’t paying
attention.
Like I
said, I’m not trying to convince anybody of anything, just told the story, and if
you get it figured out, I want you to convince me.
