Last night I sent an email to a friend I knew in high school. He had a husband who passed away and has been having a rough time. His late husband was being a persistent person and wouldn't let me ignore him so I bit the bullet and emailed. I was SO nervous because I hadn't talked to this person in over twenty years and then to send an email that said his husband who has been gone for almost a year and a half was trying to get in touch with him? HOW crazy is that? I did it though and LATE last night he contacted me and asked me to call him. I was SO nervous I was shaking but I KNEW this was something that I had to do.
I asked him to just talk so I could see if I could "get" anything. I kept getting a picture and I finally told him what the picture was like and he said it was his husband. We talked for 3 1/2hrs. He was able to communicate and talk with his late husband and a few things were sorted out for him. Some questions he needed answered were answered, some were not. He wrote many things down so he could go back over them and just be able to maybe validate them later but he feels better now. He says this: "is incredibly amazed. There is a calm wave that ripples through my being tonight." To know that I was able to help him to be in this state is more than I can put into words. It's incredible.
I wasn't for sure if I was right about this. I just went with my instincts and was HOPING that I was right about this and took a big chance. This man's husband is incredible and I wish I would have been able to meet him when he was with us physically.
I feel so blessed right now to have made my friend's night/day. I told him if he ever felt like he needed to talk to his husband again to go ahead and call me and we could see if his husband would talk with him again. I told him I could never promise BUT I do know that his husband isn't going to be one that leaves me alone. :) I think he will be around awhile and I'm very blessed to be able to help him communicate. It's truly amazing.
I am blessed.
