Nanny’s card & Aunt T

Mouse,

Nanny’s sister, Aunt Tang passed away last month. :(

The pic above is what Bella wrote on her card.  I happened to glance at it right before mailing it & was so touched by her sweet words. Notice how she signs for you & her, even ‘dots’ her I’s with a heart just like you would...<3

I’m constantly amazed by her & so proud...and sad too that she knows this pain.
...

Nanny was so touched too, she called Bella on her cell & they talked for a while. I hope that Nanny is ok. Even though Aunt Tang was in her 90’s & she lived a full life, it doesn’t make it any easier. A sister is a sister... :(

We never met her, but just like Bella said I’m sure you both have met & are looking out for the family. Nanny is in her 90’s too & the last of her siblings left. She sounded really really tired last time we spoke...

Oh my mouse. There’s so much to catch up on. I keep these pictures on my phone as reminders, just like I keep these letters as reminders...

About life, the lessons we learn, about our journey.

Nanny said in the last week her sister was alive she was sick & in & out of consciousness; she started talking to family members that passed away years & years ago. Specifically a cousin she was very close to that passed away when they were young...

Nanny was told by the family down in Texas, who were in the same room with her, that Aunt T was talking to her- the cousin & other deceased family members like they were sitting right there in front of her, right there in the same room!

I told Nanny that I heard & read before about how the spirits of our loved ones come near when ‘our time’ is near...

How I read an article from a prominent doctor who worked closely with hospice patients for years & tried to explain away this phenomenon with science...with what was taught to her in medical books; hallucinations, delusions etc.

But eventually she said, she was convinced that it was more than that. She became so fascinated with it, she began taking notes & documenting...

After years of studying her patients, she came to the conclusion that they were not in fact hallucinating. She really believes that the spirits on the other side, are able to cross over when we are near death & guide us when it’s time.
...

I told Nanny how I wish so much that it’s true. <3

She said, me too.
...

I love you baby girl. So much.

Always & forever,
Your mommy <3
