Wouldn't it be loverly....

I had my second psychic reading today w/ Judith...courtesy of my mucho generouso friend Jeanne (thank you lovey!!) This time I spoke with several members of my family that have passed....including my uncle who I never met. He died when he was 19 years old. He was in NYC at the Broadway show "My Fair Lady" with my grandparents. He suddenly did not feel well...had a splitting headache. My grandparents took him home, he collapsed and died of a brain aneurysm. My mother doesn't like to talk about my uncle, but luckily my dad does. My mother also has never and will never, ever see the movie "My Fair Lady" even though she is a HUGE Audrey Hepburn fan...as am I. I have seen the movie many, many times...has been an old favorite of mine since I was very small...before I knew the story of my uncle. Could this be why?

I recall as a child putting on 'performances' with a neighborhood friend (I wonder what ever happened to Laura?). We did a lot of The Wizard of Oz..I knew ALL the songs. We also performed many songs from My Fair Lady...."All I want is a room somewhere...far away from the cold night air...warm hands, warm heart...oh wouldn't it.....be LOVERLY!!!" I STILL remember the words! Again...I must ask myself is it because of this connection to my uncle?

I have often wondered how different our lives would be if he had lived. I have a fairly large extended family on my dad's side (he is the oldest of 3 boys), but my mom .....it's always just been her and our 2nd cousins (who we have always been very close with) in Brooklyn. But if Ira had lived....I might have more cousins...we might have had help when my grandparents both took ill...we might have had....a lot of things.
So Judith said that Ira said that we have a very strong connection. He has always watched over me...since before I was born. He 'adopted me' and is always around. I found such comfort in knowing this. I wish I had a photo of him to post. He had a lot of freckles....like me. :)

I wish I had known him...oh wouldn't it be loverly.....
