164 ~ Yes, There Was A Sign

By Kay Heitsch

The year between my Dad's and Todd's deaths was not normal. I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

However, I did come up with two explanations. First, I thought my uneasiness stemmed from being raised as an only child. Now with my Mom and Dad both gone, I felt abandoned, strangely.

My second explanation for my odd feeling seemed stronger. I felt that death was in the air. I certainly didn't think one of my children would die, so I figured it must be me.

That being said, I had a strong desire to start typing tips from the books I was reading. We had a Smith Corona typewriter, so I retrieved it and started typing.

I shared these with Todd. I never told him why I was typing these out, but in the back of my mind, I figured he would share them with Shannon and Brandon when I was gone.

What has amazed me after looking at these pages of practical tips from the Bible is that I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 at the bottom of the pages.

I do not remember typing that Bible text out.

After Todd died, I realized God was preparing me to deal with Todd's death. These tips and the Bible verse were for me!

Sharing these with Todd was helpful to him before he passed away. Todd was a happy person who saw life positively.

Remember how I led you on this long journey. Deuteronomy 8:2
