In today's second blog about our Greece vacation, you'll read that it wasn't long before our friend Ed in spirit showed up to help when we needed him.
THE SITUATION - When we arrived at our departure airport, I realized I didn't have the straps to my backpack, so I had to hand carry it. I took everything out of the bag and looked in it. No strap. I was frustrated because I was going to be taking the backpack with me throughout Greece. It was heavy with books, graphic novels, snacks, earplugs and other stuff I brought. When we got to Chicago, we walked through many stores in the airline terminals searching through stores that may sell straps.
WHO IS ED?- Ed is a man who passed in 1996 and he is Tom's late partner. I never met Ed in life, but since Tom and I have been together since 2005, Ed has been right there with us. That's the benefit of being a medium - I can communicate with people (and pets) whom passed. Ed has come around so much and helped us (he actually saved us when we got lost in England, and helped solve the mystery of his own death. - You can read about those things in my book called "Kindred Spirits" available on Amazon).
HOW ED HELPED - I was feeling as if Ed were already with us on the trip when we landed in Chicago, because I sensed he wanted to experience Greece (and he was interested in mythology as I am).
After a lunch in the terminal, I told Tom that I feel we need to continue looking for a strap for the bookbag. We chose a different terminal to walk down and it became apparent that Ed made us choose it.

Upon walking into the first gift shop, there on the floor was a perfectly sized piece of strong twine that an employee had cut off a box to unpack products. The store clerk was going to toss the twine so we picked it up and Tom fashioned a makeshift strap!

For doubters, what are the chances that we would walk down that particular terminal, and look in that particular store at the exact time that a perfect piece of twine was on the floor? The chances are astronomical. As I always say, when it comes to spirits, there's no such thing as a coincidence. I thanked Ed for the makeshift strap (I later found the straps in Greece, but this came in handy all the way to the hotel in Athens). The bottom line is that when we need help, spirits of our loved ones are there to help.
