My son came home


I am so happy to tell you, without any doubt in my mind, that my son, Eric, was here with me last night. He was able to turn on that lamp (which is his lamp) and cycle it through the settings. We devised a code and he was able to answer yes or no questions. He stayed for 20 minutes. He told me he is happy, the light went wild with yes, yes, yes, when I asked him that. That was my first question. I have to go to work now, but, I had to put this on for Casey. Casey, he sent his love and he said he is happy and free. The lamp has retured to normal now and I can find nothing wrong with it, and no way to make it come on by itself, let alone cycle..joyously. No will ever convince me I wasn't communicating with my son. There is not one tiny doubt in my mind. Eric was here and he still exists and he is happy. He travels now! He's still making music.

You must be on cloud 9 today.

He knew you needed cheering up after the last couple of days. What a good son.

Awesome DD, I thought about you yesterday when I heard "Shooting Star."

Roxanne said...

See, I'd be scared of that. I wouldnt know what was going on. I wouldnt exactly know how to handle it. If my husband was dead I'd say it was him. He has promised to come back & haunt me after he dies.

Beautiful orb!

MichelleH said...

This brought tears to my eyes too. I am so happy for you. I can't think of any better news than for you to hear that he is so happy and free.

And now you will sleep even better :)

If I may be so bold to ask-- What happened to your son?

Anonymous said...

Reading this gave me a happy warm fuzzy kind of feeling.

Not going to lie, I've NEVER known anyone with any type experiences like you. At first a long while back I was kind of like..huuuuuh? But I believe you.

I'm so happy for you and Casey J and Lissa and Eric.

That is wonderful! I can only imagine the relief you must feel to hear from Eric. It must be such a comfort to know that your son is alright and happy. I'm so happy for you!

bella said...

That's great Pat!! It must be a comfort to you to know he's near.

He's Lis's dad right? Has she experienced anything similiar?

justaskin said...

My dad died in 2000 and I found it difficult of course. I always found myself asking, I wish I knew if he was OK. I prayed for a sign, a message, a dream, anything to let me know he was ok, to put me at peace. One night, I don't know what it was. I guess a dream, I suppose it was a dream but I felt him give me a hug. I could feel his arms around me. I woke up with a start, at first scared to death but then so relieved to receive this sign, I just cried and cried. I don't care what anyone thinks or says about it. I KNOW it was my dad letting me know he was ok. From that point on I was much more at peace and accepting of his death. It was a great thing.

The lamp came on and I ignored it. Things like that happen. Then it came on brighter. I thought, as any rational person would, electrical short. I stood, jummped up and down, sat in my desk chair and heavily rolled, I punded on the desk, I waved my hands close to the lamp...nothing. I said if you are someone, let me know now. The lamp came on. I said ERIC??? The lamp blazed through it's cycles repeatedly. When it was still for a few minutes, I said, are you happy? The light went on it's cycles again. The brightest cycle kept fashing. That is not even possibe. The bright cycle HAS to be preceeded by the low and med light. We talked for 20 minutes. Then he had to go. It was him, there was no doubt, it was him. And yes, it made me cry and sob and it made me joyful.

And that photo is dark, yet all the lights in the kitchen were on, plus the camera's flash. It was very well lit. The flash "sizzled" too. It just couldn't handle the energy. I am NOT saying the orb is my son, I am saying I felt him in that spot, and it is energy of some kind. He actually seemed to be standing to the right of the orb.

Dirty Disher said...

I pulled up photos of Lissa for him and he said "yes" when I asked him if he had been in contact with her. She's told me he has.

Dirty Disher said...

6:51:00 PM, you don't have to believe. I couldn't care less what you believe, no disrespect meant. This was for me and I believe. My son is not dead, he has just changed forms.

Dirty Disher said...

I really didn't know if I should post this. It was very personal. This was not work, he is my child. This experience is not up for debate.

Corina said...

I am so happy for you! I think my grandparents have been close to me lately, I dream about them alot lately, and it is like they are there, in full color.
I have tears of happiness for you DD..

Nina said...

I'm tearing up right along with cut-on-the-D, here. Pat this is so wonderful. This has been a very special week for you. Magical things and so exciting...I need a tissue.

Dirty Disher said...

It was real and amazing. Death is not the end..far from it.

Corina said...

That's wonderful!! It doesn't matter what anyone thinks. I'm glad you posted some more details on that experiance. Faeries and elementals, I am skeptical, but things like this i feel are as real as we are. :)

vicki said...

Pat,
I do not "know" you--only through your blog--but I am happy you are
finally getting some peace and joy.

Dishy, I was with my dad when he passed, and I have never said this before, but the energy in the room was the same that was there when my kids were born. It was the weirdest thing.......sb

vicki said...

...and is it just me, but when you
were able to "be Done" with your
Mother's crap then Eric visited? Am I off base?

Dirty Disher said...

No. You're not off base. Maybe I was more open, less full of rage.

Nina said...

Pat,
I just wanted to say a quick thanks for sharing this. To hear things of this nature gives those of us with open hearts and minds a feeling of hope and wonder. We can all use a good dose of hope and wonder.

Vicki said...

POSTIVE energy I just happy for you.

vicki said...

,,,that was I am just happy for you. I need shorter fingernails.
Time for a mani.

Dirty Disher said...

Despite my job and what happens to me on a regular basis..I am a skeptic too. Not this time. 100% real.

Shelly said...

Very comforting, thanks for sharing.
And Roxanne, I thought I'd be scared too, but when it happened to me the first time, ( alone driving, my grandma tapped me on the shoulder) it wasn't scary at all. I knew immediately who it was too.

Anonymous said...

i agree with what vicki said about being done with your mom's crap....

perhaps by freeing yourself from that, that left you more open/receptive to receiving a visit?

i read once, and i think it was laurens van der post (his name is something like that) that death is the last great adventure...i agree with that...

and i am glad you shared this with us DD! it has obviously made many of us joyous too!!! thank you for sharing this!

Dirty Disher said...

I asked him if there was anything to fear, you know I did. He said no. He is free.

SM@L said...

AWESOME!!!!!
I'm so happy for you!

Cut On The Diagonal said...

DD;
I just want to say 'thank you' from the bottom of my heart. It was very brave of you to post something so personal. It is appreciated more than I can say. I hope you will continue to share.

Dirty Disher said...

I hesitated to post it, but, I think some of you may find comfort in it. It is one thing to believe, but another to be shown. I have been shown.

Unknown said...

I was also thinking about the breakthrough with your mom as an ending and the visit from Eric as a beginning.....I was happy all day, thanks to this. It means "hope" to me.

Anonymous said...

well Pat, you know that I support you 100% in this as the stories I have shared with you about my parents after they left this earth, that I totally agree with you that it was Eric communicating with - NOT A DOUBT IN MY MIND.

I didn't read everyone's comments here - too many lol, but I did skim through but I did read all of yours and I know you don't give a rat's ass what anyone else feels or thinks but I was so very touched and happy to read this.

I know the reason he came to you was to help you get through all the anquish and saddness and knowing he is well, happy and ok will help you get to a happier place yourself as you know he wants that too - it was wonderful that he has calmed Alissa too.

Thank you for posting this - had you not I would have expected an email :).

My heart is extremely happy for you Pat. Very exciting to hear.

Hugs

Crystal

Nadine said...

Glad to hear this news.... Eric knows when you need a boost from him and he'll always be there.... for you, Casey and Lissa of course....

Anonymous said...

i am so happy for you!!!!that is so amazing and must be awesomely comforting.

my beloved brother passed last week, and i am deeply happy to here a report from "the other side" esp as my Christian sister said he was going to hell because he was not "born again" thanks!!!!!

frimmy said...

That must be a huge comfort to you. That's two excellent milestones for you this week and I couldn't be happier for you!

Dirty Disher said...

Thank you. You are all very sweet, but, the dead are not tied to us. They are free.

Dirty Disher said...

I know because I asked him. And I told him I understand that. He may never come back and that's alright. Now.

PeggyAnn said...

I am so very happy Eric came to visit you. Words cannot express.

Dirty Disher said...

Thank you Peg and I now have a better understanding of orbs. He was not the orb. It was a by-product.

Anonymous said...

what do you believe happens when you die?

bella said...

Pat - do you think is this related to the extra energy you've noted, or is that always there? (the issues with the camera, etc.) or maybe that's there (at that level) all the time but you're talking about it more...not sure.

I'm just curious about what vicki noted and I'm wondering if his visit is a result of the situation of being "done" with your mom or did his energy enable you to be done?

(hope that makes sense...)

Dirty Disher said...

You are still you, but, you are free. He has a life..friends, travel, music. I have been told this by two other spirits, but, my son, I trust.

I don't know if that's true for all spirits, but, it is true for some.

Dirty Disher said...

Bella, I believe the breakthrough I had might have opened me up for a more positive kind of encounter. Other than that, I don't know.

bella said...

Pat - thank you for responding. I like to think of it as his energy helped you to do what you needed to do (with your mom). I don't know ...there's something conforting about that thought to me :) like he's helping you out or watching over you or something. But overall, I'm just happy you got to experience his presence.

Dirty Disher said...

Me too. But, I really think people put too much into this "watching over you" stuff. That seems to be an Earthly idea. I would hate to think we still have obligations when we're dead. That would be the most unfair thing ever.

bella said...

I see what you mean and I agree with the Earthly angle. I too would hate to think of it as an obligation. But my thought was more, he had the option and chose to check in and help out. I guess because the encounter sounds more gleeful to me - like he was proud to be there and perhaps show off a little to you. (Keeping in mind that that's just my intrepration on what you wrote and may not be an accurate reflection of the experience.)

Dirty Disher said...

He WAS showing off. He knows how I am.

Dirty Disher said...

I keep wondering if maybe it took him this long to learn what he could do. I fogot to ask that.

Bernadette said...

Very moving, Pat - thanks for letting us in on your experience.

bella said...

Totally wondered that too!!! It seems like there have been smaller signs but this sounds more significant. Makes me wonder how its learned or if there's help learning? Very curious...

Bayou Jane said...

DD--Maybe he met up with Sam and Ella after your shout out the other night. If so, my dad has a story for every ocassion and will be happy to tell him all of them! My momm will just turn her hearing aides down.

Have pleasant and happy dreams tonight.
Joy and happiness are wonderful--there's just not enough of it!

iambriezy said...

Damn, Pat..you're making a believer out of me! That is amazing...so glad you heard from him. Seems like you really needed it this week. You raised a good boy.

Dirty Disher said...

He was a grown man, but I guess to mothers they are always little boys.

Dirty Disher said...

I know they do meet up with others, Bayou.

Anonymous said...

chances are he will never come back now Pat because what he came to accomplish has been done and I think you will be ok with either.

I agree with you tha dead is dead, but I totally beleive spirits linger around.

my mother passed away when i was six years of age she was twenty seven and the most beautiful woman in the world in my opinion well anyways it took a long time growing up to deal with the last time i saw her until i hit my teenage years well one night i had this weird feeling that i need to make peace with so i walked down to the creek below my house sat down on the shore and when i closed my eyes went into a deep thought and saw her it was beautiful she was just as i remembered well i asked her how she was and she told she was great the whole time i could feel the hair on my neck stand up i enjoyed it as it didn't last that long but i told her i love her and she hugged me and said it back and that was the best feeling in the world so when i read your story it encourages me to tell you mine thank you for sharing yous i enjoyed it very much so and peace be with you. oh by the way i am meissa's step son

If only every ardent atheist or skeptic could have just one experience like this, the world would be a very different place...

Dawkins and Hitchens can shove their books up their holes as far as I'm concerned. There's an afterlife and that's that. Get over it and move on.
