Endless Love 2014 Ok.ru

[Mariela Coxon]

JohnI married young & raised two terrific kids together. Our feelings for each other was just like our wedding song, Endless Love. That is what we were to each other, endless love. After 25 years of marriage we still hug and kiss hello or goodbye. When we walked together or just sat next to each other we were always holding hands.Then on a warm spring day in April my world changed.

With our family and friends in the room John opened his eyes. I took his hand and told him that I was with him. He slightly squeezed my hand and he was gone. In one moment I lost the love of my life. We had been together since I was 18. How in the world do I live without him?

Matt went on to tell me your father knows you are waiting for someone else but he wanted to connect with you today. He is holding a baby in his arms. Does this make sense? I said yes I lost the baby in a miscarriage and my twin sister died two weeks before we were born. Matt went on to let us know my dad watches over us and everyone is safe in heaven. At the end of the night both my mother and I were happy with the reading.

I was sure John was going to come through with the next show with Matt. The show with Matt came to our area. I just knew John would come through. And he did! It was the last reading of the night. Matt had the whole row stand up. He looked right at me and said did you lose your husband?

The room laughed I laughed I could feel John smiling at me. Matt then went on to tell me John is with me and he just leaned over and gave me a kiss on the cheek! My endless love is still with me! I can remember after the show I kept telling my mother he came through! He came through!
