Jon shared a VERY personal story with all of us. Stop over and uplift Jon on this difficult day. One thing I have learned here at AR is how we support one another.  Sending uplifting thoughts and hugs of friendship.

Today I am feeling a little melancholy, with what would have been the 21st Birthday of my youngest son. I have not shared the following dream with many, but for some reason was compelled to share with you, before I go set a Balloon free with a message of Love.

Jacob Lennie Eliason

5/19/91 ~ 8/4/92

Approximately 6 weeks after the passing of my son

I was visited, by him, in a dream:

_____________________________________________________________________

The Dream

My wife, my oldest son and myself pulled up in front of the airport and parked. I got out and walked around to the passenger side and before I could get my family out of the car, a gentleman that had been checking luggage and looking at tickets, turned to me and said, "There's someone here that wants to see you." From underneath the podium where this man had been, appeared my baby Jacob.

He motioned as if he wanted me to pick him up, and I did, as fast as humanly possible. The whole world disappeared. The embrace of my son took me to a place, I'd never been before. A place of nothing but pure Light, Love and Peace. It was all consuming.

The next thing I remember, I was walking with him down a tunnel of light. His left hand, in my right, walking... A hand reached out and took my sons right hand and I heard, "He'll be okay, he's with us now"

The hand was of my Paternal Grandfather, for whom Jacob's middle name, derived.

I felt a sense of calm. A sense of True, pure Love. I wanted to stay here in this place and I told my Grandfather so. He said to me, "There are things you still must do"

I woke up in my bed at home, crying.

_____________________________________________________________________

 

I have things to do. Maybe I have done some of them already. Maybe they are yet to be accomplished. I guess that's not for me to decide or even try to figure out.

Today is Jacob's Birthday and I'll be spending most of it sharing memories of the short time I had with him.

Happy Birthday Baby! I Love You Jacob!

Now you know....

So many years and yet for Jon I am sure it is yesterday.

The loss of a child is the worst nightmare a parent can have.

I am sure the time Jon  shared and nurtured Jacob will always be a warm place in  his heart. 

Jacob's life was a success.

Jon didn't have a dream, he had a visit from a few angels.  Very moving and touching story.  One I'm sure was difficult for him to tell also.  Such mixed feelings reading this...........tears of joy that Jon felt the comfort, but also of sadness for his loss of Jacob.

Thanks for sharing this dream of Jon's from the other side Sharon. Life is a mystery at times and I am glad there was some comfort with this dream. We do extrapolate out in time how old someone might be.

Sharon, Though I do not know Jon, his message grabs the heart. The dream about his son brought comfort and that hug must have been something. The loss of a child has got to be the most painful loss one can suffer through.

Sharon, you and I both know the power of spirits and the power of God in his communication with us that all is GOOD. This is such a remarkable story and the generations that touched him make it even more powerful...what a gift Jon shared with us this day! (I will go and tell him myself, dear friend, thank you for connecting all of us as you do so often).

Thank you to everyone who stopped over and commented on Jon's post as well. I was just a vessel to share it with more folks. I thought it was a wonderful and special dream he shared with us.
