It was meant to be . . .

Two weeks ago tomorrow I will have returned from England.

Even though I had never included the UK on my list of 'must' places to see, to me this trip was obviously 'meant to be'.

I have been open to receiving 'messages' from dreams and observing 'signs' from loved ones who have died, since 1994, prior to and after my Dad's death.

I have referred to one of these in a past post, and will write about others in the future.

For now, I will say that the following facts all point me to the conclusion that I was indeed called intuitively to experience parts of Great Britain.

My Mom's resemblance to Queen Elizabeth II has been commented on by people ever since I can recall. She did take an interest in the royal family.

My mother had the privilege of meeting the queen and shaking her hand at a government function in Canada.

She had never travelled overseas nor to England, even though her parental heritage originated in Europe from various parts of the Ukraine and Austria.

My Dad's paternal heritage, as I have mentioned in a past post on my website, www.judypriceiswriting.com , had ties to Dover, from where his ancestors emigrated to Wolfe Island in Ontario.

Ireland entered into the equation when my father's paternal grandfather married an Irish bride.

My father's maternal heritage was British.

When my parents made the decision to marry, each of them was from a different religious affiliation, although both Christian.

My Dad was 'United' and my Mom 'Ukrainian Catholic'.

They decided to compromise regarding religion, and raise their children as 'Anglicans'. In order to do so, they both became confirmed in the Anglican church.

It now makes perfect sense to me that I was beckoned to England, where I witnessed 'signs' of my parents presence, now that they are both no longer living in this realm.

I do believe that we are all 'spiritual beings' on a human journey, and that when we die, with God's blessing, our spirits are free to roam, explore, and experience what is invisible and unknown to us while in our earthly bodies.

More about these 'signs' in a future post . . .
