Heaven Calling

What should you do when you think heaven is calling? I mean like literally. What would you say if you could talk to your dead loved one, one more time? What would you expect to hear on the other end of the line? OMG… What would be the secret of the next life revealed?

Two weeks after my husband died I got a call. I looked at the name of the caller on my phone as I always do before I just randomly answer.  It says Grant Thompson! My whole body froze because I was like, is my husband actually calling me? 

Like isn’t he dead? Is he calling me from heaven? What will happen if I answer this? I was freaking out.  I still hadn’t turned his phone off yet. I knew I was going to get to it eventually. And, I actually had the phone with me personally. So I knew no one physically was calling from his actual phone. 

I was having a full blown panic attack. On my caller id I saw my dead husband was calling me. It said it right there on the screen. How could this be? Is this like the movies? I really didn’t have a way to interpret it but as being Grant. 

I took a deep breath. I hit the receive button and I was like, hello?... Was I going to get all the secrets from heaven? Maybe my husband wasn’t dead and this was all just a joke. Maybe I was gonna wake up from this bad dream.

It was my son calling me on an Alexa with Grant Thompson's name as the identifying name. It had never happened before though so I just had to think for a second. I love my children so much but I cannot convey the disappointment that I had when I realized it was just one of my kids. 

Whenever weird things happen they're also very easily explainable, so I’m not afraid of ghosts anymore.
