Hi everybody! When i first starting coming to this forum, I felt compelled to share this, but i didn't know why, and i had never posted before and didn't want to start off on a strange note. Now I have been reading for quite some time, and again today for some unknown reason i feel compelled to share this, although I don't know why. Instead of fighting it, here it is...Maybe someone needs to hear it, or maybe you beautiful people have some insights that I need to hear
Four years ago, when my son was four, my husband and i put him to bed as we always did, surrounded by a complicated "system" of the various stuffed animals he insisted on every night We then sat down in the living room and i read a book while my husband watched tv. We lived in a tiny little house, and my son's room was footsteps away. After about an hour,i got up to go to the bathroom, and when i passed my son's room, something caught my eye. I went in and found him sound asleep in the same position we left him in, blankets and animals undisturbed, but with a medium sized framed print lying perfectly across his chest and belly. i felt like the wind had been knocked out of me. Our house was so small, and both my husband and I were steps away, and i couldn't form a rational explanation for this. My husband came quickly in and later told me he thought something was very wrong because he heard me gasp loudly. we woke my son up and ask him if he had gotten out of bed and found the picture, but even as we asked we knew that was impossible. He was sleepy and confused and didnt know why in the world his parents were acting like crazy people! We let him go back to sleep and took the picture back into the living room. My mother had given him the print a few months before for his bday. She is an artist, and it was actually a batik print she had made on cloth and framed for him. We had not hung it up,as we were moving to a bigger house within months, and I was storing it under his bed in a suitcase. i was so shaken by what had just happened, and my husband and i kept trying to figure out how it could have happened, but nothing made sense. I should disclose here that I have always been very open minded about all things, and have known that there are spirits, angels, ghosts, whatever you want to call them, existing on this plane. In fact i had had a very real encounter a few years earlier with one, but i always had a "out" in my mind( I was imagining it, or dreaming, etc) This was altogether different in that it involved and actual OBJECT, and there was just no explanation, and it involved my baby. It frightened me, and I didn't sleep at all that night. I called my mom the next morning,quizzing her about the batik image, without telling her what had happened. She told me she had used an ancient native american symbol for the batik, which she had seen in a photo of a ancient piece of pottery found in new mexico. it was an image of a turtle. I went online and researched, and when I found the meaning of the turtle to ancient indians,i felt a wave of relief. Protection and longevity. My son was born with a congenital heart defect, and i had spent the first year of his life under the shadow of uncertainty about his diagnosis and what its implications were. The defect turned out to be harmless, and will not have any ill affect on him, nor will it require surgery to correct. But because of that first year when we didn't know any of that, I always had a underlying deep fear for him. I would check his breathing twice a night, every night. I was wary of moving because our house was so small that i could literally hear him breathing no matter what room he was in. So, although i didn't(and still don't)understand how that print happened to get out of a suitcase under his bed and end up on his chest, i felt like it was a sign, clear as day, that he WOULD be okay, that he had someone other than me watching over him just as intently. Of course, it goes without saying that the picture always hangs in his room now. I did tell my mother about it eventually, and she finds it unbelievable. It makes her uncomfortable, i think. I don't know why i had such an urge to share this with you all, but here it is. I know it sounds crazy, but i am honest and have relayed it to you as it happened. I hope maybe by sharing, it brings comfort to someone.
Much Love

valcap!
Your story bears much resemblance to many that have occurred in my life. My son too had a heart problem when he was born..then a heart attack at age 16...but since than has shown no problem. He would be visted by a friend who was "a ghost"....and she helped him alot. We knew who she was. But odd things like that happened to him and me also.
Also at certain times in my life...there has appeared on my chest a strange symbol....it comes for a few hours and than goes away. It is a circle within a circle with a distinct pattern of five "stars"....4 together and one set apart. It comes at important times.
It looks like a light blue/lilac grey/mauve tattoo.
That is not the only thing. But I am getting off track.

Your son is/has been/being protected.
Thank you for sharing this with us!

YES! The turtle is a VERY GOOD omen and protective symbol! So is the frog and the toad.

That is such a cool story! Now I feel even more like the last house I lived in definitely had a spirit in it, I have had trouble believing in that but everytime I hear one of these stories it makes me much more of a believer.

Thanks for the love, PixelPixie. Sometimes when i read your posts, i have the weirdest momentary confusion of feeling like im reading my own words! We have a lot of similar circumstances.
Fayte, do you mind my asking what brought about your son's heart attack? Does he have a ventricular defect or soemthing else? As for the symbol on your skin, i have read that that happens occasionally. I think it's sylvia brown who had one appear that was triangular, after contact with an earth bound entity.
I felt such relief after posting yesterday. I have not shared that experience with anyone outside of my immediate family. Thanks for the kind words.

valcap! Thank you for posting your story. My life has seen a series of such things in the past and these type of things are normal for me. As to my son....he was born with mitral valve insufficiency which led to mitral stenosis, and a heart murmur. Then when he was 9 years old and weighing only 45 pounds...he developed Rheumatic fever...when he was at his father's for visitation and was not kept on his antibiotics for strep throat...as he was suppose to be. My ex-husband did not feel like bothering with making sure my son(his also) took his medicine...so for three days without it, his strep throat evolved into Rheumatic fever and added further damage to his already weakened and leaking heart valves. It was a long and terrible ordeal...and then he went through an amazing growth spurt...going first from 46 pounds to 84 pounds...then another even shorter growth spurt at just before turning 16 years old...going from 84 pounds and 4 feet 4 inches tall to 6ft. tall and 170 pounds...in only 4 months or so!!!!!!!
It was probably this rapid growth that brought on the heart attack. I did more energy healing on him(had been doing so for years)...and to the shock and amazement of his cardiologist...he now at age 23 shows no signs of ever having any heart conditions. He is now 6ft.2inches tall and 200 pounds! And has a washboard muscular abdomen! Handsome guy! But........................................
The only thing wrong with him now is that he thinks the world revolves around him...I spoiled him too much...he was such a sickly little fellow....added to that the some 26 miscarriages I had..he being my only child of my 13th. pregnancy...well now he is for the most part a healthy and good person...but very egocentric. Hopefully he will eventually grow out of that also, as he did the heart conditions.
Thanks for asking.
Love
fayte
