My New Orleans TripThis trip was partially for my dad. He was an artist and an architect. (This may be a long post.)
Dad had told me several times about his trip to Louisiana when he was a young artist and how he wanted all of us as a family to visit New Orleans some day.......It never happened...... :o(
And then, I was invited to join a friend in N.O. who had a timeshare there. The trip was practically all paid for, as long as I could pay for the airfare. (My husband practically booted me out the door! LOL.) I was gone from April 3 to April 10.
As I was preparing and shopping for the trip - both for me and for groceries for the family while I was gone - I asked my father to give me a sign that he would indeed be with me.......As it turns out, this trip is about, "ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE". (My dad was always a very quiet person, so these signs meant a lot for me.)
It was the day before my departure, and I wanted to get a small spiral notebook to journal the trip. At first, all I saw were regular sized spirals and I turned to leave the aisle........For some reason I turned and looked again. There infront of me was the perfect notebook. The cover was green and on it was printed: "hug" with the brackets above it. Interestingly, the little spiral was not entered into the store's computer when I went to pay for it......hmmmm.....
And that was the beginning of my knowing that Dad would be there.
A few days after arriving in New Orleans, I asked Dad if he was there with me.......We'd been walking throughout the French Quarter and I had taken dozens of photos ........Sure enough......within minutes of my ASKING, I looked down and right infront of my foot was a DIME. (One of my parents' signs).......The date was the year of my marriage to Larry: 1978.
A couple of days later we were touring the "Oak Alley Plantation". I was feeling Spirit all over the place......It was amazing. Again......as I watched the video that our friend, Laurie, had recorded, I caught a faint orb floating between us.
I could go on and on about my seeing a rainbow, butterfly symbols, and ladybugs! The week was filled with signs........The final one was on my last day as I pulled away from the hotel, headed for the airport. There was a car parked with the license plate of "RHB".....My dad's initials....... I even took a photo of it. :o)
Dad was never one to demand attention to himself, so the signs were quiet, but defintely there.......Bless him.
