A Smack from Grandma on Mother's Day

#mediumship #psychicmedium #mediumshipreadings

On Mother's Day, I gave my Mom, Gloria, a Reiki and acupuncture session, as often happens, messages from Spirit began to come in.

Her mother, my grandmother in Spirit, Emma, popped into the session after awhile.

I asked my grandmother to tell me a story about Gloria as a little girl.

Emma told me what a pain it was to take care of Gloria's hair when she was little (!), it was so curly that it was hard to tame and that she was relieved when she didn't have to deal with it anymore.

I told my Mom this and she said, "Yes, I remember. Every week, Saturday mornings would be taken up with her washing our hair(Mom has two sisters) and putting rags in our hair like rollers to make banana curls." 

It is very much in line with my grandmother's personality to be complaining about this :D 

It was kind of a brief interaction, although I felt like it could have gone on longer, it was time to take the acupuncture needles out and end the treatment. 

Later in the afternoon, my Mom and I were sitting near one another relaxing, she had her eyes closed, I was on my laptop.

Mom suddenly said, "WHAT??" 

I jumped, “What?”

She looked at me with startled surprise, "Did you just hit me on the shoulder?  I felt someone hit my left shoulder!"  She made a hand motion like someone giving a little back-handed slap.

I was sitting on her right side and had not moved.  I said, "Someone is trying to get our attention."

Now, my Mom is not a woo-woo person.  I was the one who brought the woo-woo into the family, and although she accepts it, my mother does not have experiences like being smacked by spirit, this was a first. :D

I tuned in, having a feeling about who it might be.

Grandma came right back in and said, "I wasn't finished yet!"

I had to laugh, she always told it like it is. Grandma went on to tell me that Mom had her wedding ring.  I asked Mom about this and she pulled a chain from under her shirt and showed me that she was wearing Grandma's wedding ring around her neck.  I had no idea that she has been wearing it since Grandma passed.

Grandma then showed me an image of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge and told me that she was proud to know someone who had helped to build the bridge that connects Brooklyn to Staten Island.

I asked Mom if someone in the family had helped to build the bridge, she had grown up not far from it.

"Yes!  Uncle Pete!"

As she said that, her Uncle Pete came right in.  I had never met him but he gave me a strong sense of his personality and also expressed pride in having helped to build what was for a time the longest suspension bridge in the world and said he and Aunt Josephine would talk about it every time they drove over it.

My grandmother, also known as Nonnie, told me that she felt that she had to become rather serious very early in life, that she had felt a lot of responsibility from a young age.

Mom explained that Nonnie was sometimes kept home from school by her mother to help care for her younger siblings and the household.  She was then married fairly young and raised four children of her own

My grandmother showed herself in the way she would like to be remembered, as a young woman of about 30, at a healthy weight with no pain and none of the mobility issues she had later in life. 

Good to know that Nonnie is still making sure her voice is heard!

I hope you all had a Happy Mothers Day, and know that all of the Moms who are on the Other Side are still around us! <3
