A Gift From Beyond Without Question!
by Juanita
Landon shot himself at age 21 on July 13, 2001. On the weekend before the next Mother’s Day, I thought of how he was always thoughtful to get just the right gift, whereas my other son, Theo, was likely to sing me a silly song made up for my gift. I loved them both for their different ways, but knew it would be hard without Landon’s special gift.
My fiancé and I were fishing that weekend, and we came near some houses and he opted to fish near their backyard bank. I heard the beautiful wind chimes on their back patio and decided to lie back in the softly rocking boat and just listen to the chimes. It was so beautiful.
I thought to myself that I would like to get some chimes like that. Plain-ordinary–not-fancy-at-all-chimes like the light wooden ones I was enjoying.
I forgot about it, but a few days later on the Friday before Mother’s day a coworker brought me a wrapped gift. She said it was from my son. She said he was insistent not to get the fancy ones, but guided her to this gift. I opened it to light wooden chimes. I have no explanation. I am a Born Again Christian and do not take interest in mediums or the like. She said he was politely sending her the messages but stood firm when she tried to pick something out that was not plain.
