Deena's Visit to Patty Lekawa
Patty Lekawa lives in Crystal Lake. It is a long drive from Albany Park, Chicago.
Deena and a friend made a day of it, with 2 appointments back to back.
Deena thought it was a very good experience, and would like Ray, Alek, and Philip to see Patty, too.
Over to the Remembering Maris Blog for the rest of the story.

Yesterday at Light Source
We visited Light Source Church on March 5 because we wanted to see their presentation by a girl named Kendall, whose sister Hillary took her own life 3 years ago when Kendall was 9 years old. Kendall wrote a book about her experiences, and her mom started a foundation called Hillary's Hope.
It was interesting to see how people deal with suicide, and how they respond to it.
Rev. Patty Lekawa shared some statistics about suicide, which is the third leading cause of death among young people. Third is pretty high. Patty refers to it as an epidemic, and something needs to be done.
The presentation seemed to be more about education, awareness, and prevention. But it also offered some comfort to survivors by explaining that the decision to take one's own life may be a necessary part of that soul's journey, and an agreement made before they incarnated. It is very important that the person must not be judged or condemned in any way for their decision.
Patty played two music videos that portrayed different aspects of the experience.. The first one was How Do You Get That Lonely by Blaine Larsen.
This was a powerful song, and comppleted expressed our experience.
The other video was F**kin' Perfect by Pink.
Two different outcomes.
The Tunnel of Healing was also very powerful. Not a good idea to resist the urge to allow the energy to knock you down, because you end up with a crick in your neck. The alternative is to allow trained helpers to catch you before you hit the floor.
There were no messages for us, and we were really tired by the time we left at 11:45 pm. But I dreamed about Maris that night. He was very little in the dream, which seemed to be about rediscovering and sorting toys from when they were children. He was playing with a white plastic toy stroller with lavender and pink flowers on it. It had been purchased for him to help him learn to walk better. when I work up, I realized we never had such a toy, although we did own a white and blue toy stroller that was decorated with a smurf. I do not recall who we purchased it for...perhaps the daycare? as it had come from a resale shop. They used to enjoy putting their stuffed animals in it for a ride.
The meaning of the dream? not readily apparent. But I hope it will come to me.
