He would be exiting this realm on the 'human condition plane' in a little less than a year, March 20th 1989 to be exact but we had this summer of 1988 where DyiDyi (grandfather in Ukranian--we called him this) could still talk fluently enough for us to understand. His stroke had not gotten the best of him, the story-telling and emotional fortitude was solid, unaffected by the debilitating toll being taken on his fragile small body.

He was home between the two strokes and during this time from his bed, he gave his granddaughter, me,a reason to forge ahead on a road that would be physically without his presence. I just cried alot and told him a world without him would be far too confusing, I was just going to be getting married for the first time in less than a month. I wanted him to be there, watching in the joy. But that was not called for 'in the bigger picture'. My grandfather sensed I would be around for awhile to accomplish wonderful things with my loud and boisterous, stubborn as ever, personality and voice. He needed to pass over to teach me and others through me that life is not really over when the physical body dies, it meaning the enrgy, just changes and adapts to a new set of expectatons.

He told me where he would be going was going to help him understand why he had to leave here. He did not fear much and this was his gift to me and to Grandma. She was already journeying through other dimensions when she passed in 1981 and probably missed grandpa alot, they were inseparable in life so as in death, of the human condition. He was still on this side and even though they talked, they could not touch. He had tears in his eyes telling me that God and Christ (bozcha in Ukranian) were finally allowing him to be with grandma, making their undying love official. He said it was so they could touch again. It was poignant. This song was playing quietly on the patio so I listened to both DyiDyi and Wynona speak of a love lost to be found again in the stories told bya great old man.

I knew from that point on even when God and Christ took his physical body away, I would be left with a spiritual awakening far more reaching than any sermon could ever provide ! I would be able to disclose the beautiful experience of communicating between dimensions using different and higher planes of intelligent design. DyiDyi was smart, no rather highly intelligent because he followed not only his reasoning but his sensing, his feeling in his gut that surpassed all doubt and ego distraction. This gift was pure cosmic consciousness, planet Earth's God allowed him to possess, know, apply and live through.

TBC houses their spirits and it is there I find the good ole' days being re-lived over and over again. It is a very comforting place I will do everything in my power to keep in our family. It will be the retreat I always wanted. He has passed this perseverence onto me and it is a responsibility I won't fail at.
