[Margaret Pilkington]

Tinks.......you were right...I gained strength and courage from knowing that my Dad was around. Just after he died I went to see James Byrne at the Civic theatre in Ossy......I was desperate to know that my Dad knew that I loved him and missed him......we could never say to him the things we felt before he died, as my Mum insisted that he not be told he was dying.......I was very upset about that and felt I had missed the opportunity to say how I felt....i also felt that i had been deceitful to my Dad, but couldn't go against my mothers wishes as it felt disrespectful......I was aching for him to come through for me and was very disappointed when he didn't. Then a friend who understands more about the spiritual world told me that it would take a supreme effort on my Dads part to send a message to me and that it was only a short time since he had 'passed over'...and that he had been so very poorly when he died....that maybe he was still getting his strength. I don't know if what she said was true...or whether it was just to comfort me......but it did seem to make sense.
I hope that doesn't make me sound like some sort of gullible old f@rt.

Since that time my Mum has been to see a very good medium and she has had messages from my Dad....things that only he and my Mum could know.
So I guess I am convinced that there is something more to life than meets the eye.
