So I think it has to be someone else. Like somebody in my family. I have a lot of relatives who have crossed over: my dad, my uncle, and four great aunts in addition to grandparents.
But thanks for the suggestion!
I am working on a project now for an elderly aunt for whom I am the trustee. It is a tough project, requiring endless amounts of patience, and a high level of writing/research skills. It involves a lot of money, too, and I feel the encouragement of my crossed-over relatives, as well as my aunt's husband. It has been very time consuming and my teaching work, union work, and indoor/outdoor house work has suffered terribly. I am close to done, though.
One day I clearly heard my dad express what he would do with a part of the project. It was funny and it made me laugh. It was "so" my dad.
Then, just a couple of days ago, I was standing in my kitchen cleaning up when I distinctly heard a voice say, "I'm on the team, too." Well, it my aunt's "boyfriend" that she had after her husband died!
I just loved it that he had to let me know he was "on the team," too. I told my aunt this story and she laughed uproariously. Of course "Roy" would be on the team. He was always a giver and a helper.
He was a highly efficacious individual when he was here on earth, so I imagine he is quite effective with his input although at this point it's hard to tell who steers me to what.
It is quite amazing, though, as I work on this project how I see things I'd have never seen had I not embarked on it in quite this way. When I am through, I may not only bring justice to my aunt, but to many other elderly ladies, too.
