My dad who has been going thro a breakdown/thro has been referred to a psychiatrist who recommended he go to a day centre once a week.....to give him a break from the routine of life. He has always been a great one for debate, but doesnt see too many people these days.

So I rang him and asked how it went "oh okay" says he, a bit boring, you know they talk about decorating and then brag about their grandchildren" (LOL, I thought thats what grandparents did)........

And then he says "I found a private room where I could read my paper" "oh that was nice" says I. He then said he went back into the main room and saw a young guy with a dog collar on and approached him and said "are you a priest then" and the fella answered "yes"

So they find a private room to talk about God and the meaning of life...

Now one of my biggest wishes is that my dad finds some spiritual comfort before he leaves us.......They argue away and the priest says to him "you are a very vulnerable and sensitive man arent you" - he is talking to my ARies dad who never showed his feelings much, but now has become overwhelmed by them...........and he can share them with a young man!

As he was telling the story of them arguing, I got a feeling of hope in my heart.......and then he said when it was time to go the young priest said "will you be here next week then" and my Dad replies yes I will.

Oh God hear my prayers, I so want my Dad to feel and trust in something outisde of himself.......I am ever hopeful.

Friends may I ask you to send him some light.......he is broken, sad, dissilusioned.......and why wouldnt he be......he wont allow the hope, the faith in.......I am sure you can help?

My last words to him were "hey dad I would love it if you could get a sense of something spiritual before you pass over" and he replies in an everso quiet and humble voice "I will try", "I love you Dad", said I," God bless". I then put the phone down and wept (again)

Love and thanks all

I definitely will!
I pray the same thing for my 85 year old father. I wish he'd get something - tolerance, acceptance, sharing. He's a really tough one considering his upbringing. He mellowed over the years (a tyrant when I was a child) But it seems he still has these views.........
I thought Sag was a spiritual philosophical type. He has an Aqua moon (Nov 27, 1919)

I'll keep both Dads in my prayers.

I am crying as i write this Sue. Something very deep and spiritual is happening inside your father. It is an awakening, and your prayers are being answered. It is beautiful and he will share it with you when it is complete.

Much love

Hi Sue, Sending light...

Heres my perspective as well:

My mom is aries as well. Believes in God (Jesus) and will not accept any other God. If she finds out I am in to astrology she would freak out. God has made them in such a sweet way. They will not change their viewpoint. They are not supposed to. I have learnt so many things from my Mom. In fact she is the one who had awakened me (not about God), but being serious about life. That was when I was 13. Its a secret and she does not know --lol.

That's a beautiful story, sue g.

I guess sometimes we need to crack open a little for a greater light to get in.
