Lynn,

First…..thanks for moving this to the appropriate forum….:)

This was not planned. It happened out of country with my wife’s family. My wife’s brother was visiting an elderly uncle of my wife and her two brothers. The uncle’s daughter was present. After some time spent visiting where they were reliving family history the daughter expressed discomfort and told them she felt compelled for some reason to begin writing. I have no idea if she had previously experienced this urge.

She said that she was receiving a message from the long deceased father of my wife and her brothers. Their father was directly communicating to them to ask forgiveness for the way that he had treated them when they were growing up(40-50 years past). He wanted them to know that he loved them and pleaded with them to let go of the anger that they had for abandoning them and their mother so many years ago.

The shock of this left them in tears and almost unable to speak. My wife’s oldest brother was shocked to see that the handwriting was the same as his father’s….even down to a very distinctive way that he had written his signature.

What was broken is being repaired…..the brothers are basically lapsed Catholics….I am thinking this might change some of their skepticism concerning spiritual matters……
