  • Well, this has been a tremendous start to the new year! (Pain in the back not-withstanding!) Miracles do happen and I for one am so very grateful to the Lord and Lady for this particular miracle.


    Longish story: Best friend since high school...she and her family "adopt" me when I join the Mormon church. We are inseperable. She gets married, has a family of lovely children. In 1991 I find out that her husband is nothing less than a monster and she begins the ardous task of leaving him and rebuilding her life...during this time, she is there for me when my mama dies and helps me get into a new home and then facts come out about her family that are also horrendous. Somehow due to a miscommunication between the two of us, she disappears from my life. She thinks I have abandoned her and I , well I'm not sure what I think...I finally decide that I am from a part of her life that she doesn't want to remember.


    I am beside myself, I have no idea what happened to her, or the children. I try everything short of hiring a private detective to see if I can find her. I finally give up, all the while keeping her in my heart abd thoughts. Then the dreams start...vivid, real life dreams wherein I find her...in unusual places, but I find her. I have so many I lose count, but in a small way, deep in my heart, they keep my hope alive.


    I had one of those dreams last week. The most vivid yet, and all her girls were in the dream, her son was not. The one daughter I always considered my "baby" gave me a hug and fell asleep on my chest, just like she did when she was tiny. (She is 18 now!)


    This past Sat. I checked the Classmates site as I do every once in a while to see if may be she signed up...just a long shot...She was there!!! Oh my goodness!!! I e-mailed her...she e-mailed me back! Both of  us were a little hesitant at first, but we warmed up quickly enough. It was remarkable...but the most amazing thing was yet to come. I told her my spiritual path had led me on a different journey than the one I was on when we last spoke...I told her I was on the Pagan Path and held my breath to see her reaction!


    Yesterday I found out that she chose that path also! I was dumbfounded...but I don't think I should have been! She called me this morning and we talked and talked...almost made me late for work. We actually have chosen the same path!


    10 long, anxious, lonely years! I feel this was supposed to happen. For whatever reason, we needed this time apart and the Universe brought us back together again. It was not coincidence. There was a purpose for this and I think as we get re-acquainted, we will know why. But in the meantime, what an awesome way to begin the New Year. May the rest of our year be as good!


    Love and Brightest of Blessings,

  • I have said it before, and will say it again...

    Fear not the Darkness.

    Congrats and Happy new year my dear.

  • Thank you, my darling Dread! After reading through what I wrote and pondering it a little, I realize I (we) don't have to know "why" we were brought together again, it is enough that we were!

  • It is an amazingly small world.  I am glad you found her again.
