I just have to share this!
I lost my grandma last sunday, and it hit me really, really hard. I can't begin to describe the feeling, but the physical symptoms were I basically shut completely down, and I would break into random tears at strange moments.
This thursday was the day of her viewing and I had no idea how I was going to handle it. That morning though, I got the song "On Eagle's Wings," stuck in my head and it wouldn't go away. We went to the viewing and I actually started hearing it, in my mind, then they started to play an instrumental version of it.
That was weird enough, but the sound of the song, both the in my mind version and the intrumental, kind of calmed me down and I was able to comfort my dad and a few other people instead of being so emotional myself.
Well, we got to the rosery for her that night, and the one song they played for my grandma was the song "On Eagles wings." If that wasn't weird enough, I found out today that that wasn't the song they were going to sing, but the girl who was singing got a sore throat and it was the only song she could belt out.
As soon as I heard the song, in my mind I said, "Oh Hi grandma. Sorry about being so sad and all, thinking you were gone. I get it now." and I've been basically ok with it ever since.
My dad is right about what he said, she's wherever spirts go, playing poker with the old crew. :dancy:
