Last night, I had a terrible feeling that something was wrong or that something bad was going to happen. I couldn't shake it. Hubby thought it was stress and that I was starting to come 'down' from the major adrenaline rushes of the past week from hurrying everywhere, trying to get things done, etc.
This morning, I was sitting on the couch and I kept smelling Bengay or Vapor rub; not sure which. I sniffed the bathroom wondering if it was lingering shampoo. Nothing. I sniffed around the living room. Nothing. -- The smell would come on so strong and then vanish only to come back 5 or so minutes later. This happened for about 45 minutes off and on. At about 1pm, I talked to my husband who told me that his mother called to tell him that his grandfather had fallen off a ladder. He fell two stories; broke his pelvis, hip, arm and something else I can't remember. They were trasnporting him to a larger hospital for surgery to repair the broken bones. So anyway, here it is 4:30 and I JUST realized that the horrible feeling, the smell and his grandfather's fall could all be connected. My husband's grandmother passed away about 10 years ago. My husband is NOT close to his father and they haven't spoken in 4 years, but his grandmother had always wanted to see them reunite before she died. It didn't happen. My husband loved his grandmother like his own mother and was devestated when she passed. For years, we've talked about how we need to go visit his Grandpa, but his fear of running into his dad has kept us away. This is long, but I just have to wonder if the smell, the feeling and the fall were related and if it was his Grandmother here trying to get our attention. We're moving in just a few weeks and will be making a trip to see his mom. His Grandpa lives in this town and she's already set it up that his grandpa would meet us somewhere to visit so he didn't have to see his dad and step-mom. Now I'm worried that a few weeks may not be soon enough. I don't know, but something happened last night and this morning. I knew something was wrong or was going to happen, but I had no idea what. I immediately connected it to something happening to my husband since he's the only one I'm exceptionally connected to. Now I'm just confused! |

Seeing spirit requires more than eyes
Smelling spirit requires more than a nose Tasting spirit requires more than a tongue Feeling spirit requires more than hands Feeling spirit requires more than senses Feeling spirit requires belief in what you know Seeing loved ones requires more than eyes Smelling loved ones requires more than a nose Tasting loved ones requires more than a tongue Feeling loved ones requires more than hands Feeling loved ones requires more than senses Feeling loved ones requires belief in what you know See, smell, taste & feel things around you There are more things around than you know But knowing is not believing See, smell, taste & feel is not believing This takes a step into the unknown Take that step and just be part of life hermie |

Thank you so much for the responses. Just as I was telling my husband that I thought his grandmother was visiting earlier, that smell hit me STRONG. I knew without a doubt that she was here, and I told him so. Any doubt I had left my mind, and we spent a lot of time talking about what she was trying to say. It was an emotional realization because though I loved his grandmother, I never felt she liked me much. I feel more at peace about my own relationship with her, and my husband felt somewhat happy that she'd come to visit, though saddened that her message just might be that we should see his grandpa before it's too late to visit with him in the physical world again.
But I have to say, this was such a neat experience for me. Once I thought about it, I was sure that his grandma was here. Then I went about trying to find all the logical explanations for what was happening & sabotaged myself in the process. A lesson learned and in the future, I'll better understand the meaning of acceptance and trust in oneself. |

I was once sat in the company canteen
Its a food factory No strong perfumes etc To stop food contamination etc And people were walking by us to the shelves The shelves that the workforces snap is kept And making comments about who is wearing perfume Because the whole corner where we were Had a very strong smell of lavender Not a mild one that only we can smell But a strong one that you could smell from 10 foot away I just said hi Mum, closely followed by the wife And it slowly drifted away we all learn when these things happen hermie |
