Valmi's Visit
Many years ago I experienced a visitation that is still with me to this day. I was sleeping in my bed, when I am awaken by a soft female voice calling my name. I sit up in bed and catch a glimpse of something at the right hand corner of my room. There in the corner, next to the dresser is Valmi - just standing there. She was not a solid mass but a glowing, transparent image. Almost like an angel.
She says "I'm here just to say goodbye to you." I ask her "where are you going" but she just ignores my question, smiles and tells me "take good care of your wife..."
The aura and glow around her starts flickering and then she fades away.
See Valmi for me was not only my brother-in-law's sister, but she is Love, Peace & Joy. She was a very strong, tall woman with a very sweet and soothing voice. She worked as a butcher with tough hands, but with a very soft & loving touch.
She lives in Mt. Vernon, NY in a house that is partially owned by her, my brother-in-law & another one of their sisters. My brother-in-law would always invite our family to the parties there and that house was always - for me - full of fun, joy & freedom when I was a kid.
Something was telling me to go & visit her, since "there is no time left" is what I kept hearing. So I took a Saturday off to go see her. I visited her in that same house (maybe 100 miles away from Philly - where I was living at that time) just the week before my visitation. This time the joy was missing. She was very ill - dying of cancer - and a sadness in her eyes.
I saw her without her usual strength, without her usual happy smile and without her hair. She was almost embarrassed of the loss of hair - she did not want me to see her like that. But I had a very strong need to see her to I asked her husband to let my wife & I in. What I saw was a body physically ready to go, but a soul that still wanted to spread her joy to her family. She still had that soft touch.
So when she showed up in my bedroom that night, I could not sleep anymore. Her presence really made me wonder why had I experienced her & why was I seeing her as an aura. Two days later, I get a call from my sister in Florida. She gives me the news that Valmi passed away - just so happens - the same night & about the same time that I experienced my visitation.
It all makes sense to me now. She was talking to me and at the time I did not know why she was telling me this. But she said the following:
I miss you Valmi! Thank you for allowing me to see that there is more to life then what we think we know. And that the Love & Joy you were - is still present for all.
Thank you for that gift.

"Please ask my brother to care for my kids. He is the one that will do what's right for them. And please keep an eye on my brothers and sisters so they will always know that I love them. Give them my love & joy."I always think of Valmi. She was a great person. Full of life - full of love and joy for everyone. She was a wonderful soul & by sharing my story, I want to give you the gift of Joy & Love she asked me to share with you.
I miss you Valmi! Thank you for allowing me to see that there is more to life then what we think we know. And that the Love & Joy you were - is still present for all.
Thank you for that gift.
