Vision on "melancholy morning"...

   This is a very "melancholy morning"...  A rather symbolic incident
happened as I was cooking breakfast...  I told you I was feeling subdued and
pensive this morning... partly due to this the Anniversary of [J]'s death...

  While I was cooking the scrambled eggs, I saw my brother [J] standing
before me... He was just grining from ear to ear and his eyes bright blue
and just shining...  He told me that he was very happy now, he spends lots
of time with Daddy, Granham and Grandpa and cousin [S]...  [S] and [J]
hang out together a lot...  He has messages from everyone... First he said
that [B] and I are doing a great job with the kids' except for a few subtle
suggestions...  One, go easy on the children, be gentle with the children,
this came from my Grandmother [HM]...  I could almost hear her
voice as [J] was telling me...  He said [R] is turning out to be so
beautiful and her health will continue to improve... He said you've done a
great job [P] and [B]...  My Daddy sent a message about our situation... he
said just be patient as I know this is not your strongest suit...
Everything is working out for the best...  Keep a very close eye on [B]...
[J] said they are all watching us and monitoring what is happening in our
lives...  He said if we don't be more kinder and gentler to the children,
there will be some major butt kicking...  We need to keep a tighter reign on
[T], get [E]'s temper under control, let [R] have her wings so
she can fly... He said we have given her much more freedom than before and
this makes him very happy...  [J] had kind of shortish reddish brown hair,
was in his 30's looking very very  young...  He had on loose white pants and
a long white shirt...  He acted just like he did when he was alive, carefree
and a free spirit...  He wanted me to know that he is so happy now and I am
not to feel badly about his leaving...  the tears just streamed down my face
as I was cooking the eggs... luckily I turned the burner down just as this
was starting to happen...  This was not a vision but something that really
happened to me... I could HEAR [J] and SEE [J] and could FEEL his
presence...   I have seen my Daddy, Grandpa and Grandma at various other
times... sometimes if I didn't see them I HEARD them talking to me...
"WHISPERS"...  [B] said to tell you that this was not an imaginary thing
that happened... very much REAL and so NEAT to happen on this 4th Anniversay
of [J]'s leaving us...  This is a release for me and another wall to come
down...  I've got goosebumps all over me again... felt the same way earlier
when I saw [J] this morning...
