IT FEELS SO DARK; THE SKY IS GRAY – PART 1

Posted on October 12, 2012 by Judy

I was reaching the end of my tunnel, but I was slightly discouraged. I had good vision, even if it was dark and pulsating with lots of shadows.

WHEN YOU ARE GONE

Posted on June 1, 2012 by Judy

I received a call from the mortuary that there was another plot for a man with my father’s name who was also married to a wife with my mother’s name. Fortunately, we were able to solve the mystery as to which one was correct. It was sad for me when I realized that I couldn’t call my father to even complain to him about these things.
