Grandma's spirit,
Is by my side,
Whenever, I feel down.
Chantilly Lace,
Perfumes the air,
Announcing she's around.

A feather kiss,
Upon my nose,
As she gave to me in life.
A loving hand,
Upon my back,
Does ease my pain and strife.

When grandma comes,
I feel so loved,
My Light, in brightness grows.
She loves me now,
As she once had,
But now my grandma glows!

+*+~+*+~+*+

Happy Birthday,
Nana!



P.S. I hope your angel friends give you
a wonderful party with lots and lots
of angel food cake!--and crackers with
Philadelphia Light cream cheese! BTW did you
see my commercial?!? lol

Love,
Linda Lou

Dear Pipster friends, I know that I am shamelessly putting the link to my true story about my nephew's spirit shenanigans, but he is literally making me do it! He knows that I am copying the replies and sending them to my sister for her scrap books. So please forgive me. Here it is for those who like spine-tingling true accounts from the spirit world.
(Actually, 3 of my deceased relatives are on my case!!!--and they are powerfully insistant! )

I have so much warm, loving spirit energy around me, what with Chad's birthday being September 30 and my grandmother's birthday being today, October 3, that you could put me naked in a snow bank and I'd want a fan blowing on me!

Bad spirits make me cold, but loving spirits make me feel very warm.

Love & Eternal Light,
Lindy Lou

Sweet Linda...I've got goosebumps...I'm choking up here...I don't know what to say I'm sorry...I'm...woah..just..... but I know it's comforting to know he's always around and I see you love him ever so muchly...when I read the title both grandmother's came to mind..and I've had experiences with before and after they passed..and this just woah....

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

This was sweet, but I have to wonder?..Why is sharing a part of yourself that's a little on the personal side, shameful? Why is being open about your life a shameful thing at all? We are all human. We are all in this together. Of course this is coming from the redneck, stupid, Texan. ha ha!

Yes, it must be comforting knowing that your grandmother is still around to love, guide and protect you and your son. I am happy for all three of you!

That was exceptionally thoughtful of you! I saved it! Thank you, my friend. You are very special.

(smiles) Oh Linda, this is soooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, you have a most golden and loving heart and I know your sweet Chantilly Lace is always flittering around you with love each day guiding you and that is why lilac perfume is in the air and sunshine beaming for you! (kiss on cheek) Yay, me and Jean-Louie have made a delicious Philadelphia cream cheese angel food cake for her with little cracker clusters on the top, yay! (does happy cake dance)



(giggles) God Bless You, sweet friend, your grandma will always be proud and blessed to have had another angel as her granddaughter, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah, that was so ding dang darn special, I have tears in my eyes. I know that she loves the cards and the treats!

Guess what! When my other grandmother comes to see me, the scent of lilacs fills the air! It is her sister that I wrote of in Spirit Writer.  

You, my dear, dear friend, are love personified! May you receive back tenfold the joy that you send out in the world!

Loving hugs,

once when my grandma died (step mum's mum) it was on the day of my senior prom and I had my alarm clock radio downstairs cos I was sleeping on the couch and honestly it wasn't plugged in and that Barbara Streisand song "somewhere" came on

...Somewhere... Somewhere... Somewhere...
There's a place for us
A time and a place for us ...

and as soon as my step mum called it shut off she called telling me Grandma Piper had died...

I haven't shared this with anyone...I think she was trying to comfort me because I was unable to make it up to Canada...I'll always remember may 21..I'm going now..
