Horripilation...........

Or a fancy way to say 'goose bumps'

That is exactly what overcame my body on the Monday after my long road trip with Emma Sage to visit with friends in Indiana.

One thing that I wanted to add before my story is this.....I have always experienced dreams, premonitions [deja vu] throughout my whole life. My great-grandmother had clear experiences with dreams, as well as my Greta. It is just something that we experience. I never read into them and just allow the experiences 'to be'

I also believe that anything is possible in this world.....I am open to all thoughts and ideas.

So, during this interaction with Emma Sage, my body literally was covered with raised bumps....as I know that there is no way this child fabricated this exchange with me, as it was a totally spur of the moment conversation.

and I wanted to just add this picture at this point......because the person Emma Sage spoke about is in this picture:


So, here is my story:

On the Monday after our road trip to Indiana to visit with friends [who traveled from all around our country and Canada] I asked Emma Sage "Who was your favorite friend you met this weekend?"

She looks at me and says "Kenny"

I start to search my mind for a 'Kenny' that she met [as there were many siblings there also, and I didn't know every ones name]

I ask her "Kenny who?"

To which she replies "Kenny ~your brother"

I try to keep my startled expression to my self and ask her: "When did you meet Kenny?"

"He was riding in the car with us Mommy" was her response.

"Oh, I say......I'm so glad you liked him the best" and left the whole conversation at that.

Emma Sage went off to play and I was left shaken.

You see, my brother Kenny died tragically a week after Emma Sage was born. She never got to 'meet' her Uncle....but I truly believe that his spirit was along for our long car ride, through the twisty, turning, pitch-black roads of Ohio and Pennsylvania.....making sure that Emma Sage and I were safe on our journey.
