Hey Y'all-It's one of my favorite dates on the calender because it is tenthirteen, which is the name of the production company that produced X-Files, which I like for obvious reasons. (It is also the birthday of my ex father in-law, and Sammy Hagar[pass the CaboWabo!]) Today also just happened to be Eddie's funeral (that was fast-huh!)and a day of magic and mayhem!
One of the things that I found out today was that Eddie was born on February 11-which was his mother's birthday. He passed away on October 11-his father's birthday. Like I said, his funeral was today-the day I call X-File Day.
In my life February 11th is Tyrone's birthday, my ex-mother in law's birthday, AND the birthdate of the woman whose mandala I am currently working on! HOLY FRIJOLES!!! You can't convince me that there isn't something special about all of this!!!
The most magical moment of the day came for me at the end of his service. I woke up this morning singing Freebird because I had heard it in a dream last night. After all was said and done it was played at the funeral for him!!! I have never really liked that song...a little too "drinkin' beer with the buddies" for me ("it's a guy thing"-lol)-it was also played into the ground through my formative years, so I usually hit the button on the radio ASAP. Now whenever I hear it, I will think of Eddie, and Crossing Over, and about messages from the other side. THEN I will hit the button!
I wore a coat to the funeral that I hadn't worn in a while. When I was leaving the funeral I put my hand in the pocket and found the baggage checks from O'Hare from when I went to my Grandmother's funeral in April [April 14th-blog-"Death and Taxes"]-I love you too GRAMMY!!! I'll see you again!
