I "heard" from John this morning
I felt heavy-hearted all morning, I thought from lack of sleep since I went to bed an hour past my usual bedtime.

I was standing in front of the chemistry analyzer waiting for results, and then I "heard" him say he doesn't think he will be here much longer. That he has left a surprise for me (his spirits lifted when he said that). And that he doesn't want me to follow him.

I started to say I wanted to see him, but had barely formed the thought when he said he doesn't want me to see him this way. He wants me to remember him as he was.

I guess I'll find out on March 12 or 13 when I call the Alzheimer's home to see how he is....

5. Why do you have to wait until March 12 or 13th to call?

7. I'm in clinical healthcare training right now and cannot leave...
I know that whatever I hear when I call is likely to be very upsetting for me, yet there won't be a thing I can do before the 12th or 13th anyway.

I have a training break from 3/12-3/20, so if I am "hearing" wrong and he wants to see me and/or is in condition to recognize me, I can make the trip to see him. If I'm "hearing" right, he likely would not recognize me or be able to communicate irl.

6. wow, powerful stuff
Know that we are here for you in loving spirit.

It should at least be a comfort to you that you can have the spirit-conversations...remember that because it means he is never far from you, ever.

8. thank you all...I "heard" from him again this morning
Edited on Tue Feb-22-11 06:37 PM by northernlights
In retrospect, I guess (like all of us) he has been burning karma in preparation for his next adventures, making amends and healing old wounds...I guess that's what brought him to me 3 years ago.

For weeks, in my mind I've been singing solos that were particularly emotionally charged between us. I've sensed he was going through them in his mind as well.

This morning, again in the middle of running the analyzer, it was the Poulenc Gloria. Early on in our relationship, following a big run-in with him (I won't go into the details at this point...long story) in the 1st rehearsal of this piece I sang quietly through the soprano solo. He sometimes would invite the chorus to sing through the solos in an early rehearsal just for fun and to scope out potential soloists, but this time he hadn't invited us because he was hiring a pro. He tried to stop me, but I was singing it to press a point to him and certain powers within the chorus, so I just ignored him and pressed on. He was furious. The more angry he got, the more determined I was. :D My defiance infuriated him I guess; he had no control. Afterwards, the soprano sitting next to me turned to me and said, "That was lovely!" He looked like he was going to kill her...she kind of swallowed the "ly" :rofl: Later on I overheard the men talking about it...how sexy it was (it pitches the lyric soprano floating above the tenors and basses throughout much of the piece. makes me think of a slow dance with a bunch of men carrying a woman over their heads).

Ever since then, whenever I've listened to or sung that solo I have felt that knot...the battle, his anger, my revenge for what he had done earlier.

This morning as it was running through my head, I felt his presence. He told me, "It was so beautiful he could barely stand it." There was no anger, only love. Just pure love between us. I sang it to him over and over. I've felt lightness and relief ever since. It's been running through my head much of the day, although he wandered off after a while. It has new meaning to me now.

I'm hoping that when he's freed from his body we'll be able to connect again more easily. I guess I'll find out later whether he'll want to spend time with or be too busy moving on...

11. So healing
What a beautiful healing for you to receive through your re-membering a painful intereaction. It's a healing for both of you.

You were both blessed this morning - and your sharing of it here blesses us all as well.

Thank you!

I was unfamiliar with the Poulenc Gloria but inspired by your post to to see if there was an audio clip of it somewhere on the internet. I found it on youtube - 6 movements performed by The University of Utah Singers, A Cappella Choir and Utah Philharmonia. It's wonderful!


:hug:
