I lost my wife to Leukemia over eight years ago. Approximately one year after she died, something happened that was truly unexplainable. I won't go into the details of that happening, but for me, it really solidified that there is something beyond our physical lives.
What I want to get to though, is what happened just the other day. Now I realize that what took place the other day can well be written off to coincidence, but I choose to see it differently. I have this light in my kitchen, it is one of those long lasting lights that is supposed to last for nine years. Well, about four or five months ago, it went out on me. So I went and bought a new bulb. Well, that didn't work out too well. The damn thing didn't work. I figure it has to be a short somewhere; I think it's probably in the switch. Anyway, I haven't bothered to try to fix it yet.
Anyway, getting closer to the point of this story, this past weekend my youngest son needed some family pictures for a school project. I have never been very organized when it comes to our pictures as they are all in two huge boxes in complete disarray. Anyway, we began going through them; something we don't do often enough. We went through a lot of old pictures of my wife, and it got us all thinking about her again. While I do think of her from time to time, it has been a while, and it just isn't an every day occurrence. Anyway, my boys and I were talking about her and I was making jokes about the nicnames my wife gave to my sons when they were younger. At that moment, my youngest son went to turn on the kitchen light so he could make a sandwich. We have another set of lights for the kitchen besides the big one on the ceiling that is not working. Well, he turned on both switches, and low and behold, the light that had not been working for all this time came on.
Now had this happened at any other time, I would not have thought anything unusual, but the damn thing came on right when we were talking about my wife. Well, the light worked all day and evening as we turned it off and on numerous times. The next morning when I turned it on, it was no longer working. And it hasn't worked since. So was this just a fluke coincidence or something more? I know what I believe, but I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything here. I'm just throwing the story out there. I'm sure each of you will come to your own conclusion based on your own beliefs.
And yes, I do know that it may just have been a fluke coincidence. But the timing of it all, well, it is really pretty interesting to say the least.
