Well, I haven't posted in this thread for a while ....... anyone who hasn't been here before, it's a sort of rolling account of any signs I might get, be it feathers or anything else .......
I've posted the occasional sign in my "Myspace" thread recently, but thought this time I would talk about this weekend in here ...... it seems more appropriate.
Bear with me, it's a bit long winded, but a little background to these events first .......
We found out a couple of weeks ago that my 96 year old dad was, sadly, terminally ill ........ he has maybe a couple of months left at best.
He lives alone still and is indepedent up to a point, but just recently with his deteriorating health me and my sister have been doing a lot more for him i.e. cooking, washing, cleaning, gardening etc ...
His phone is his lifeline to us, also he has a personal alarm pendant around his neck for if he has a fall, or gets into any trouble, which is also linked through the phone to an emergency centre.
Anyway, the signs started on Thursday, when my sisters newish mobile phone suddenly stopped working. The same afternoon she was sat in her garden when a small white feather landed on her foot, and then her daughter came home from school saying that a small feather had been "floating" around her outside at school.
Friday morning I found a small white feather stuck to the roof of my car, and then my house alarm stopped working.
Plus my sister who was at dads house, heard a loud bang from the fireplace in the front room ..... the room where coincidentaly mums ashes are kept. A while later, she realised that dads phones were not working ....... the line had gone dead all of a sudden.
When I arrived, we contacted the phone company on my mobile, and told them what a necessity the phone was for dad, at his age, and how his health was failing. They, to their credit made it a priority job, even though it was weekend. A workman came and checked the overhead lines outside within the hour, but it was realised that the job would take longer as it was a fault elsewhere.
They assured us it would be fixed by the morning (Saturday) so my sister decided that she would stay the night at dads house to make sure he was ok. He is getting frailer by the day, and is on oxygen intermittently, so it was thought best.
We then found out that the fault was local, but would take time to trace and fix, probably into Sunday, so I said I would stay with dad last night.
I posted a lot of this last night in my "Myspace" at around 11pm- ish using my phone at dads house, but tiredness got the better of me, and I got the days mixed up a bit, so I wanted to repost it here especially after what happened later on .......
At around 1am this morning (Sunday) I was in the front living room at dads house sat in a chair, half facing the open door to the hall (around 4 feet away). I had a small lamp on in the room, but the hall was in darkness.
Dad was asleep in the back living room, with the door shut ....... we recently moved his bed downstairs to make it easier for him, due to his breathing difficulties ...... less trips up and down stairs, even though he has a stairlift, he struggles to walk much now.
I was not asleep, but had my eyes shut ...... just thinking about dad, mum who we lost recently, and asking God and the Angels to help Dad. Asking that he not suffer pain ....... he has lung cancer that has spread to his Bone Marrow ......
The thought of him suffering prolonged pain is our worst fear, we hope and pray that when his time comes it is a peaceful passing for his sake .....
Anyway, I opened my eyes to see someone walk past the door in the hall ........ but with no sound at all, towards the back living room where Dad was. My first reaction was that Dad had been upstairs to the Toilet, and was returning to his bed.
The person though walked by very smoothly and upright, almost gliding across the floor ...... Dad struggles to shuffle along at best, stooped, and if he had been upstairs he would have been gasping for breath at the effort. Plus he would have put on the hall light and the upstairs light, no way he would have managed in the dark, and I would have heard the stairlift go up and down stairs (which I was facing) and the sound of him flushing the toilet.
The other striking thing was that dad was wearing dark maroon coloured pyjamas ...... the person that I saw was wearing very strikingly bright and colourful clothes ...... almost like a tartan check on the trousers ......
My next reaction then was maybe something had "happened" to Dad in the next room ...... and I was seeing a last vision of him ...... funny thing to suddenly think I know, but with his failing health we can never be sure how long he has ........ my heart raced at the thought, but then I realised I could hear his breathing in the next room, unsteady and troubled at times, but if not that, then what ? .......
I went into the hall, and checked the front and back doors ...... they were still locked and everything was as it should be, so what or who did I see ? ........
My only other thought is that I was seeing an Angel ....... maybe I was being allowed to see dads guardian Angel ....... I
know I was
not asleep and dreaming this, I actually saw this person, and immediately was conciously analysing all the possibilities ........ I never at any time felt fear or threatened though ...... I mean, at night, seeing someone "walk" down the darkened hall, but know it's not me or dad ....... what would
your reaction be ?
I have been seeing the number 111 a lot everywhere lately, and Dream Angel was discussing the meaning of it last night with me ....... something about thoughts manifesting events ...... very interesting indeed this ....... my thoughts lately have been filled with Dad and with Angels ..............
I believe that all the signs are showing that the Angels are drawing nearer to dad, and I
truly believe that an Angel was with us last night ......
I would be interested in anyone elses thoughts on this .......
Simon.
