Spooky

I woke up on Sunday looked at the picture of my Grandma and Grandpa Baker and suddenly felt this urgency to call my Auntie Gwen. This wouldn't seem strange to some but it did to me since I've never in my life called my Auntie Gwen. She is the wife of my Great Uncle Reg who died last summer of a terminal illness.

As far back as I can remember our families were not close yet I could not shake this feeling that I needed to call her. Since it was about 3am in Winnipeg I decided that it would be best not to. Instead I waited until about 3pm when my dad called me to have our Sunday chat.

In passing I said "Dad how's auntie Gwen." He was very surprised I would ask that and said "Not good from what little I know. Why?" I explained everything as I was overcome with emotion. He gave me her number and I made the weirdest phone call in awhile to her. She wasn't in but called me back later.

Basically the sum of the ending of the story is that on Saturday she got her tests results back. She has a problem with the valves in her heart. Her doctor has told her that she isn't to do any excercise or anything stressful until her operation for a pace maker. She wasn't sure when that was going to be though. She also said that she hadn't been listening to her doctor.

I can't help but think. (read my mind here, its too horrible to say)

I know that to anyone who does not have faith of any kind this sounds really stupid but its happened so many times in my family that it seems more crazy not to believe that sometimes we get warnings.

If you want more info about the warnings let me know.
