It is evident you and Andrew were not fated to be together in the afterlife just yet. I suspect You got your chance to meet with him and you 'discussed' your need to return. <BR/><BR/>You needed this to happen and now it is time for you to move on. I cannot tell you why but this is the strong feeling I am sensing. <BR/><BR/>Your art is beautiful and you have been given a new lease on life - and a release from Andrew. I am so certain he is at your side and he assured you of this. <BR/><BR/>My heart is with you and while I did not know this was happening to you, I knew something critically life-changing was occurring. I knew there was danger and I knew you were going to be okay. <BR/><BR/>As I read your story, I was not surprise d at all and I am certain your years of life are going to be very long. Perhaps it is time for some soul-searching and re-alignment of your trajectory from here forward.<BR/><BR/>On a different note, I really want to purchase one (or perhaps more) of your pieces of art.<BR/><BR/>Be safe and welcome back!<BR/><BR/>JThe Voicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10694757569312690117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35014064.post-22611327001527515752008-05-06T17:19:00.000-05:002008-05-06T17:19:00.000-05:00Sandy - Thanks for checking on me but to be honest...Sandy - Thanks for checking on me but to be honest, being at peace has never been a problem for me.

I've said it before and will say it again; you are the strongest woman I know. As proud as you are to call Andrew your son, he is just as proud to call you his mom! This is just another prime example of why. So many people would have stopped 18 months ago but you are a courageous woman of God & have continued on even when it hurt too bad to even be awake! And when your heart literally can't beat anymore, you find the strength! <BR/>I'm balling at this point; you are such an inspiration to me!! <BR/>Love ya!Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067283619275553876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35014064.post-4357001725907393742008-04-27T15:17:00.000-05:002008-04-27T15:17:00.000-05:00Can you believe this Sandy - I really can't.
