Before most events l do some very special 1:1 private reading sessions. These are usually deeply emotional and extremely personal to the person having the reading.
In Dundee, I met such a beautiful lady who was mourning her husband who sadly had just recently crossed over and she said something, unknown to her that had a profound effect on me.
She was away with her daughter and remembered to take her phone with her and then as the day ended she picked up her phone to phone her husband and then realised he had crossed and said “I have no one to call anymore”.
My heart skipped a beat and such an overwhelming thought crossed my mind. I often find I’m too busy to call my husband Kev when I’m away but what if one day I was this lady. I came up from the reading and called him right away, not for long but just enough.
It made me feel that we take such simple things for granted until one day they are taken away from us. This will always be something I now reflect on and wanted to share it with you and explore this subject further.
So many times in a reading, open session or private I will have to mention the missed call or missed communication. Perhaps a call was too late or the person in heaven didn’t get to make it or indeed answer it. Maybe a text wasn’t sent or replied to and in my own personal life I know this feeling far too well. How many of you reading this know that feeling?
Then perhaps like my thoughts after reading for this lady you also find yourself too busy to make a call or text and I don’t mean general chit chat to friends. This was more profound than that, I mean just a simple text or a call to the most important people in your life.
Who is this person to you? I can appreciate that in some cases there may have been a breakdown in communication for one reason or another and I am not for certain asking you to mend a bridge that may be too broken down to repair. I’ve experienced that also and that is another topic for another day.
This is to ask ourselves amongst those we love, do we talk and communicate enough because one day we will have to learn to do it in an entirely different way often through me! And believe me it’s never the same.
So if you’re sitting down now reading this, please take a moment to ponder it. Step back and really think, when did you last just pick up a phone and say “Hello, I love you”. Not to ask for something to be picked up on the way home from the shops or to have a moan about the state of the house or the kids but to really just say “you’re important to me”.
Certainly after this reading with this lady I will be talking to my loved ones more and take the communication with them more seriously and may find myself not always being so busy that I haven’t got time! Will you do the same?
On the flip side of this, who would you call now that you can’t as they are in heaven? Are you one of the people I mentioned who missed a call or wishes they had made a call before it was too late?
I wish more than anything I could speak to my mum and I know I can speak to her but it’s not the same! Being a medium does not give me any more privileges than it gives you, I can’t speed dial her anymore than I can call your loved ones. They always call me!
I would tell her that I was sorry and ask why she never told me the truth about my dad. I feel my life is a giant jigsaw puzzle and my mum died with so many of the pieces and now I can’t complete the picture on the front of the puzzle box. Do you have this feeling in your own life?
Maybe if I had just taken the plunge I would not have to ponder it!
But now we will never know… so if reading this has made you think, my work is done with this article!
I just phoned my Kev and told him I loved him, his first words were “Do you want to talk to the kids”. My reply was “No, just you!” it felt good.
Lots of love
