I love hearing things like this. This is true. I once went to a fortune teller with my girlfriends in high school. The gypsy woman took a piece of jewelry and rubbed it. I handed her my class ring. No one knew this so it had to be true. She told me there was a shadow following me in a bright light. She was quick to assure me it was a good light, indicating a guardian angel keeping vigil over me. Then she asked me who "Jerry" was. Chills prickled my skin. He was my cousin and he had recently died of lieukemia. He was my age and wanted nothing more than to graduate with his class and get his class ring. The gypsy told me he was my angel. That night, something woke me up. I sat upright and looked into the mirror directly across from my bed. I saw his face in the mirror...Sharon Donovanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14648684299903722373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418615068820902521.post-79917373680274926022010-03-26T23:14:26.838-03:002010-03-26T23:14:26.838-03:00Gooood evening!
