After Mark died last year I went to see a Medium. Like I said, if you are a skeptic you might want to click off here and go read a news blog or something. Oddly, how I got to this person was by way of woman who said she was going because “I’m skeptical and I don’t believe all that stuff.”
Really I thought, “you, who besides being skeptical is also someone who could give the woman who writes the “Tightwads Gazette” a run for her very carefully spent money. Why would you do that? Why spend the money?”
Apparently she wanted to prove that her best friend had been wasting her time and money going to see this person. In other words to make her wrong.
I, on the other hand was eager to meet this guy, and as it happened he was right in the next town. It took a lot of finagling on my part to get the name out of the skeptical woman. I guess she was protecting me from myself. Or maybe she was just being stingy which is one of her most outstanding qualities.
As you may have guessed, she and I do not like each other even though our husbands were friends for over 40 years. I avoided being with her and I think the feeling was mutual.
After much cajoling I was able to get the name from her and made an appointment. It was October and the earliest appointment I was able to get was end of January.
And then providence stepped in. A phone call came from the Medium’s scheduler a cancellation came in for just 6 days before my birthday in November. Did I want it?
Now just so you know when the appointment is made the only question the scheduler asks is first name and phone number. Period. Nothing more. While on the phone the scheduler gives me the cancellation policy and lets me know I must confirm 24 hours in advance. So if you are thinking about how Mediums probably spend their days Googling all your information in advance, that is not the case.
And if you are one of those people why are you still reading?
I would like to tell you that I plan to share my entire one hour session with Glenn but no I am not though he did give me a CD of the session and I did video our conversation. It took me six months before I listened to it again it was so powerful and overwhelming.
I can tell you that all of the things he said there was no way he could have known unless Mark told him. One thing that I will share was this-after he said that Mark walked in with me (he asked, did he just pass?” At that time it was just two months)
At one point he was wondering, “Why am I getting the image for the cartoon character Dora the Explorer, Dora the Explorer? My son used to watch her on PBS you know who she is?”
I laughed.” That is my mother in law’s name”, I said.
He said, “She’s still on this side, but starting to lose it a bit?”
Then he said this, “Mark is saying that if she says that I have been to see her, I have and I will be.”
On the day after he died, my mother in-law said that she had “such a nice visit with Mark last night.” She never knew he was sick, never knew he died we made that decision from day one to spare her worry. Dora was a worrier.
Two weeks after my session with Glenn my mother -in-law went into a coma and died. I am guessing that Mark was telling her “Hey lady come on now, time to leave. Let’s go” She was 93 and starting to fall apart. What better way to go with your son whispering in your ear?
Going to see Glenn was a great gift I gave myself.
Mark came through even though he said to Glenn, “I don’t believe in this sh*t I am doing this for her.” Glenn said “Mark is someone I would really like to be friends with, ” and I said, “Well you can be.”
Mark was fine, no more suffering just free like a bird. Glenn said he was happy. Mark said some things that he remembered about his last hours and repeated the same words he said to me the day before he died, “I love you, be happy, have a great life and please get some sleep.” There was much more but it’s personal.
So what does that mean to the skeptics? As Glenn said, “Why would anyone waste their money to prove me wrong? Go buy a pair of shoes instead.”
As for me, if your heart is broken, like mine was, seeing a genuine Medium can be a good thing to do.
(I would avoid the street fortune tellers that dot every corner in NYC)
When I left that November day, I was glad to know Mark was okay and that I would be too someday and that he is with me even though I cannot see him, he is in my heart and I know he is watching over me. Funny things do happen that I can only say that somehow Mark orchestrated them. And if that is the case I am good with that no matter what anyone else may think.
Glenn said, “He is not up there, not down there, but right here in another realm. Who he was on this side is who he is on the other. You have a great guy right by your side.”
Yep I know.
