Floating

November 27, 2023 By admin

floating manIt was after dinner that I was at my computer working on some documents when I noticed something from my right side near the bookcase in the corner floating down to the floor. It was a white piece of paper and for some reason, I keep on working on my computer.

After a couple of minutes, I still saw this white piece of paper and where could it come from. So, I got up and went over to pick it up, and to my surprise when I turned it over it was a photo. It was a picture of my late life partner Bill; he was standing next to a large purple Budda and Bill was rubbing his stomach for good luck. It was taken in Las Vegas many years ago and I had forgotten I had it. But where in the bookcase could this have come from?

I was not surprised at this because I have noticed other happenings when Bill would come to visit. He was quiet and not to be seen when he came to visit. Having these occurrences was a good thing that he was happy and was checking up on me and my cat Harriet.

Then less than a week later I came into the bedroom/office and found another piece of white paper on the floor again by the bookcase. I thought what could this be? I picked it up and to my surprise, it was another photo. This time it was Bill with my sister June and her husband Izzy. It too was taken in Las Vegas at one of the casinos. They were all smiling and happy.

I have been visited by family members before and thought it was a good idea to have them visit. Some people may not believe in these visits, but I enjoy them. There is a mystery to these times and what I find around the house. When I told my sister June, she first did not believe me and what were the chances that this one photo would be found on the floor.

Who knows when the next time someone will come and leave a hint that they have come to say hello? All these hellos have been good and reassuring that they are here around us and keeping an eye on us.
