My husband thinks it may have been his guardian angel or my great grandmother who passed last year.
Well last night my husband had a dream he was fighting an evil force who happened to be a woman because she was trying to harm my son and I. This morning I showed him pictures of the girl who I had the discussion with last night and he said nope, wasn’t her. I then showed him a picture of her sister who was next to her mother. He said it’s not the sister but who’s that woman next to her? I showed him a more clear pic of their mom and he said “yup. That was her. That’s who I fought last night”. He has never seen any members of the family before. That doesn’t explain who my son was staring at last night, but it definitely gave us a few clues.
…my baby didn’t just laugh. For about three hours he made several facial expressions(surprise, worry, happy) and followed something moving from the corner to the other corner. He wouldn’t nurse because he just wanted to stare at the corner. We know our son best
Please tell me it was an angel from Heaven!
My husband has a saying: “True, True, and Unrelated.” He says it when one of us is trying to put two things together to draw a conclusion when it turns out that there is no connection or else no logical reason that there must be one.
Even though his behavior was unusual for him, there is no reason
at all to think that whatever was pleasing your child so much was
necessarily supernatural, let alone that it had a single thing to do with your husband’s dream.
Some things, we just do not get to know. That is what we are saying, not that we can know whether or not your child kept you up all night so he could converse with his guardian angel. The answer is:
No matter how much you want someone here to confirm for you that you know what you have to realize deep down that you can only suspect is that you cannot know. We would be out of place to tell you what you want to hear when we cannot know it is true. You know that, right?
I’ve decided to just pray about it and let it go.
This is a very good idea. Keep praying, keep the holy water in your home, but have peace about not knowing.
We humans like to know and we like to fill in the blank spaces. That is why we can see pictures in clouds. Our imagination is vitally important. There would be no scientific advances without vivid imaginations looking for connections that have not been proven. There is nothing wrong with the desire to make connections. We must be very careful, however, to realize that we humans are over-active in the connections department. We have to both be willing to entertain that the connections we see might be real but also willing to believe that the connections could only be imaginary, too.
Back to lurking mode.
