Children and your love ones that have crossed over 4/4/16

Children and your love ones that have crossed over 4-4-16

My son was about 2 years old at the time.  I don’t know what spark him to begin speaking about my father. All I know it that verbatim he when into great detail explaining how my father pass away. See children our funny that way, if you tell them be, they will tell you things beyond their age. It just happen to be that this day was no difference than any other day. It was the weekend and I cleaning up and I think he may have asked about my Dad. I explained that he was in heaven. Now my son begin to explain to me what my father was doing before he pass, going into detail explaining that he was cutting timber off a tree prior to the day he taking ill. My son that explained that he collapse in the bathroom the next day and taken to hospital for internal bleeding. Now I was in shocking listening to my son who was two or three, explain the time leading up to the pass of my father. 

My son continued in that my mother and I were at the hospital up to the point of his passing and in so most that I told the doctor that my father did not want to be on machine to be kept alive. When my son explained all of this to me, I just listened and I don’t believe I emotionally responded. I just agreed and he went on playing. Not long after I took my son to see my Mom, when I asked him to explain to my Mom would he had told me. And just like he had told me, he repeated down to the exact words, he had said to me. Now both my mother and looked at each other and explained that I have never told him the story and anything in regards to my father passing.

 The thing was my son was right on all accounts and even details. It was like my son was talking to him directly and he was right there in the room both times. See my son was born 5 years after my Dad had passed and nothing could have prepared me for this conversation, other than I was open to listening to him speak. See children have an uncanny ability to still see our love ones. I don’t remember if the day had any important but it is still a memory that I hold dear to me, because it just goes to show that they are ever near and watching over us, even when doing the dishes. So the next time one of children or grandchildren say something far beyond their years, allow them to be and be open to what they say it might just surprise you, just like it did for me that day.
