ooooohhh spooky!

Open hearts, open minds...... GHOSTS IS REAL! This week's story reminds us to open ourselves to the messages and messengers surrounding us and supporting us..

"It was a sunny Sunday and I was grabbing lunch with my mom at a Thai restaurant in town. This restaurant has large floor to ceiling windows so you can see the tables and people eating etc as you enter. While walking in, I saw an elderly couple eating together at a table. The elderly woman was staring at me intensely while we walked in and while we waited for our table. I thought she might be a grandparent of one of my students (I meet so many parents, siblings, grandparents, etc, it’s hard to keep track of who I know!) so I smiled at her and debated walking over to say hi. I was a little uneasy with how she was staring at me. The waitress seated us next to the couple, almost like an ‘L’ shape for how we were sitting. So, the right side of my body and face were across from the woman's back, facing away from them, while the woman was facing the old man. Essentially, if I were to turn and look, I'd see the old man's face but not the womans. Once we were eating I noticed the old man got his bill, but there was no old woman and no dirty plate in her spot. Just the old man and his plate, which a waitress was grabbing. My heart sank and I asked my mom, "Hey was that old man eating with someone?" and my mom said "no..why?" At this point the old man had left and I was seriously contemplating if I was losing my mind because I KNEW that I saw her. I asked my mom again, "...are you SURE that he was eating alone? Maybe he was eating with someone and they left early??" My mom told me the same thing, no she didn't see anyone and she was getting weirded out as well. I told my mom what I had seen and she was just as freaked as I was. To be completely sure I saw what I thought I saw, I called the waitress over and asked her if the old man was eating alone or with an old woman. She told me he was alone and asked me why. I told her why and she freaked out and said "oh my GOD. His wife died a month ago and they used to come here every sunday for dinner together!" To which we all kind of freaked! I told the waitress to tell him next time he is there, he is not alone and she is still dining with him every Sunday <3.

I firmly believe that now that she has passed on, she has decided to keep their tradition alive and join him for Thai food every Sunday. OR I think because she was there so frequently, maybe her residual energy was still there? I believe I was meant to see her, so I could get the message to her husband, and maybe that is why she was staring at me so intensely."
