The TOUCH and My Dilemma--leaving post for 1 more day
Desult, triggered a memory of mine, a very recent memory. I thought I would actually blog about it right here. In the past I have been told that I have been able to "read" people. Now I am not talking like that show "The Deadzone" or stuff you see on day time TV. I am talking about a natural ability to see certain things, a premonition if you will. My friends and certain family members actually think its pretty weird and funny in a good way. NO, I cannot give you tomorrow's winning lottery numbers but I will post about that another time (how to win the lottery that is), nor can I tell you your future (almost). I was actually given a crystal ball as gift by my wife because she thought of my ability as almost uncanny and because I have always been able to tell people their future or what the outcome of a particular scenario will be and be very on target with my assessments. Also the old adage of no, I cant sing and dance ........but I do have a gift for "seeing people"--and sometimes by even "touching them".
I was at a wedding about a year ago. The woman getting married was the daughter of my wife's former employer. My wife had maintained contact and we were invited. My wife's sister (my sister-in-law),was also friends with the bride and was part of the bridal party. The bride and my sister-in-law shared the same friends as well. This one girl, Carol (not her real name), was friends with my sister-in-law and the bride. Carol was in the bridal party as well. I had come to know Carol from times she had been at my home with my sister-in-law and I thought she was very nice and felt a kin to her. Carol's boyfriend attended the wedding as well. We will call him Robert (not his real name).
My wife and I arrived at the reception and started saying our hello's. While looking for the table of which we were suppose to be sitting, we met up with Robert. Robert had been sitting with some other friends of my sister-in-law. As I was being introduced to Robert we shook hands and I looked him in the eyes. As this was taking place, a "quickening" or catharsis was taking place. I could "see" so many things about Robert that I had never felt before in the past in just a simple handshake. It almost creeped me out that I could see so much of who this guy was. I saw he was an abusive alcoholic, he would become verbally and physically abusive to whomever was around during his drunkeness, I could see pain and lonlieness, I could see him beating Carol, I could see him never maintaining a relationship, I could see a dark future for this individual. All I saw in the span of a two second handshake. Those feelings I just experienced were very overwhelming. and very powerful. Keep something in mind--I NEVER MET THIS GUY BEFORE TODAY. I never heard him discussed, hell, I didnt even know Carol had this boyfriend. Again, I am so overwhelmed by the feeling I had, I have to tell someone. The most convenient person to tell was of course my wife but she really didnt know much of this Robert. I did tell her all that I felt but of course she knew about my "ability" and really couldnt comment but said we needed to at least tell her sister.
After all of the usual things the bridal party has to do, my sister-in-law had a breather. I had my wife ask her about Robert so as to not arouse suspicion as to why. Since if I would've asked, my sister-in-law would've became more aggressive and inquisitive as to why I was asking (she is somewhat aware of my abilities). My wife comes back to me to confirm essentially everything I told her. The boyfriend is currently in Alcoholics Anonymous, has been verbally and physically abusive to those around him as well as Carol, has had a history of "episodes". It just got worse from everything I heard. And, on top of it all, Carol and Robert have made plans to get married. Now what do I do? Do I tell the girlfriend about my premonition? Or do I just say nothing? The reception ended and we all went home. I never said a word to my sister-in-law nor to Carol. I also told my wife never to repeat any of what I said.
Months have passed and I have seen Carol at my home and at other family gatherings. Its now been a year and I have chosen to not get involved and say nothing. I figured how do I explain to her what happened and of what I saw in that brief two second handshake? I can't help but think of that day and how should I tell her of what I saw. When I see her I always ask how the boyfriend is doing? Apparently he is still in the picture. From what I have learned from my sister-in-law, their circle of friends do not like to be around Robert and they often try to make plans without Carol if Robert is going to be with her. Thats sad....Carol is very nice and has a lot offer but because of her fiance Robert, she is being avoided for nights out with the gang.
Now that you know the whole story--what do I do? Is it time to say something to Carol or just leave things be and not get involved. Granted, what if Im just a nut or something and totally screw up what would've been a great relationship? Well we can't ignore the facts, what I felt that day and the facts surrounding Robert.
What should I do?
* Those in the path of EMILY or effected by her, be well and good luck!!
