I was typing to Rick as I did pretty much daily, but on this occasion I was feeling a bit more needy that I had been. I never asked him to appear to me because I did not want him in any way to be earth bound (I have experienced things that make me believe in ghosts), but on this occasion, I asked him if, without any harm to him or intruding on what I hope is his wonderful post-life experience, he could just say "hi" somehow.
At the time of writing this, I had a little alarm clock that had not been changed from daylight savings time in October (in other words, it said 9 o'clock when it was now actually 8 o'clock after fall back end of daylight savings) I took that in stride and always accounted for fact that clock was an hour ahead.
Immediately after typing this --immediately -- within 10 minutes -- I noticed the clock. It showed 9 o'clock when, I thought, it was in fact 9 o'clock. I was puzzled, checked computer, and yes, it was now correct.
And within seconds after, there was a huge crash in the closed-in walk-in closet to the room. Huge crash, which made no sense, without someone being inside the closet, as there are no drafts, nothing being stacked in an insecure manner, door closed, etc. I am very much for gun control and gun limitations but I own a revolver which I kept handy after husband's death, in isolated house, with no dog. I took the gun, went up to closet door sure that I was about to see in intruder. I cocked the gun, ready to shoot, and slowly opened the door. There was nothing out of place whatsoever, except this: standing in front of the door, but standing upright, not on its side, was an old computer in a computer case. I was always on my computer and husband -- who never used computer -- made many critical/teasing comments about my incessant computer use. I mention this because perhaps there was symbolism in this standing computer case. But either way, there was nothing to account for the loud crash. Now I had a cocked revolver and didn't know how to uncock it -- so went out back door and shot it off. My husband had the most incredible sense of humor, and I knew right then, as I shot it off, that he was laughing.
And I knew from all of this, which happened right
after I wrote asking him to make himself known, that he was also saying good
bye. And though before this, I'd sensed him near me, I never did again. I felt
he said goodbye.
