The God Squad: More Godwinks
Fred: I have special lines available.
Me: How are you? I think I told him that I was shaking terribly from the shock of the call at this point.
Fred: No real response, just a muffled laugh like "how do you think I am, I'm dead." (At that point I remember specifically saying to myself "get it together and ask some REALLY important questions.)
Me: I miss you. Are you with God?
Fred: Yes
Me: Have you seen people that you know there?
Fred: Yes, the guys from my club. I took this to mean guys he hung out with when he was young, but it could have meant guys from the tennis club where he was the tennis pro for 17 years.
The call faded out ... nothing more ... I woke up immediately.
I was so happy and comforted to know that he was with God and I carry that with me to this day. I totally believe he reached out to me from the "other side."
A: And so it goes. The line of souls on the other side who want to share their Godwinks with me gets longer and longer.
