Reeling in Disbelief

I will never forgot the exact minute that Joe told me he was dying. It was a Friday night, and I had just returned home from a business trip. I travel all over the country giving communications workshops. As I leaned over Joe to kiss him goodnight, he blurted: "I went to the doctor today. I have pancreatic cancer." I burst into tears. Although I had no idea at the time of the terminal nature of Joe's disease, I knew it was serious because of actor Patrick Swaze's much publicized recent death. Like the "Dirty Dancing Star," Joe was the epitome of fitness. He ran five miles a day. He played competitive tennis. He bicycled 100 miles at a clip. Until this moment, I had always figured that Joe would carry me around when I got old and decrepit. Hell, I was counting on it. Now, I realized in horror, I would have to get a scooter.

I know how you felt when your husband gave you his tragic news. My news came directly from the doctor who told me in a matter of fact way that my husband had pancreatic cancer and would probably live only six weeks. Hah! He showed that doctor-he lived 10 weeks.In the days before the diagnosis our lives were on the up swing - we had recently purchased a small summer home in Brigantine, NJ, were making New Year's Eve plans and were hoping for a grandchild.
Now I sharing my vacation home with a sorority of 65+ widows and loving my new grandchild, Ava.

sounds like you had alot of fun. Does not really maettr if you have known each other all your like or just a day. Family is family. You can always find something to talk about. Thanks for the explanation; sorry, but I am still confused. We have a really big family and have had many reunions. I still get confused. I may have to print this out and keep it handy.

Three things stkire me about this story: the ghost communicating in a dream; the child's vision of Papa; and especially the light touch on the shoulder. I must have received a dozen stories that mention ghost or spirit touches, mostly on the shoulder. Often the writer makes brief note of a ghost touch within the main story. It must take a lot of energy to bridge the afterlife, don't you think. But I've heard it so often, I plan to dedicate a new page on Dreamwatch.com to Ghost Touches. Tell Your Story!
