Do you ever have that one person in your life that seems to know exactly what you're thinking or going through without you saying a word? That person has been my Dad for a long time. We haven't always had the best of times, believe me, he really upset me a lot growing up, but we've grown closer over the years. He kept showing up, and so we eventually started working out our 💩 (that's poop). 😂
Even during the trials and tribulations of our relationship, Dad always seemed to just know what I was struggling with or going through. It seems to me he knew when I was pregnant nearly all the times before I even told him.
He was there at 2am or 3am or 4am when I had gotten myself into a pickle with a guy (an ex boyfriend, man I knew how to pick 'em) who wanted to take a baseball bat to my windshield that one time. He was there when I needed a shoulder to cry on for various reasons over the years. He was and is there when I need some help.
He, and my sons' Dad are my two go-to people for getting crap done, but my Dad? He is the one who always knows just what I need when I need it.
And he won't push that onto me or push into my life. No. He sits.
He waits patiently for my call, the tears, the breakdown, the questioning myself, and working through whatever it is that I'm trying to work through.
He simply waits.
He just knows that I need that 'wait', for I am independent in many ways and also, stubborn. I blame those Eastman genetics. Ha!
That means, much like my Dad, we are usually only willing to accept advice or take advice into our hearts when we are ready. I think, Dad, is a bit instinctual like me and we just have this connection with little effort, although if I think back, there surely was effort involved in rebuilding a relationship over the years.
I do believe, as I continue on my spiritual journal, that we have more than one person like this in our lives that just knows. They just seem to know what you need or want but they wait. They are our true soul companions or guides, and not in a romantic way, friends!
I am talking about my Dad here. It's this connection that goes beyond that of things in this realm. It's a connection that was made long ago, and we don't remember because we've been here having this particular human experience for so long.
Now, I can't prove any of this soul connection lost or forgotten, although if you look a bit deeper into Quantum Science? They're coming a long way to help prove some of these concepts that were considered 'mystical' before.
So, my point is though, that I must not be alone in having that special someone or someones who just knows what is going on without us saying a word. Do you have that type of someone(s) in your life or did you once have that?
I've had this connection with my closest friends in the past, too! I even feel I have this connection with a human who I cannot seem to comprehend why I feel that connection is of such. A part of me feels that particular connection wasn't legit, it was more a case of manipulation that I do not comprehend therefore I associate it with the closest thing I do comprehend; a soulful connection.
Who knows, but I do know this; my Dad is getting older and that kind of sucks, but thankfully we talk about this and I know what I believe about after the human body passes ... and that brings me solace.
So for now, I will continue to embrace the reality that I have a special soulful connected parent, one who knows what I need when I need it and doesn't push upon me his values or beliefs, he merely guides or shares his thoughts when asked.
I am also lucky that I still have my Mom and we are trying to rebuild a relationship as mother and daughter in this season in life, and for that I am super grateful. My Mom and I have some more work to do as we started this journey of re-connection later in life, but we've been having some pretty open conversations lately that is starting to help me let go of unrealistic expectations and started to learn to love my Mom as she is. For my Mom, is also a beautiful soul having a human experience.
If you can start to learn to love someone as they are, especially a parent? It's the most beautiful experience ever, my friends. Try it. You might like it.
Until then, I do hope you have at least one person in your life that brings you that deep soulful connect that no one else can bring. That one person who knows you almost better than you know yourself, so that when you get into a "pickle" and need a little guidance, that Soul Guide is there ready to assist.
Much love,
Brandy Ellen
