She always thought this was crazy.
Since they had moved from Southwest Michigan to Detroit, he had not seen a satellite, although he would watch every night.
She passed away….
She was Seventh Day Adventist. She was taught to believe once you die you go to sleep until the second coming of Christ. If you lived a good life, you wake up with Him. If not, then you would stay asleep.
Three weeks after she passed, he went out looked up into the sky. He prayed and asked her that if her “dirt nap” theory was wrong, and that she was actually looking down on him from heaven, to please allow him to see a satellite.
At that moment, he saw one… then two, three, four, five….
He saw a total of 17 satellites in consecutive order, spaced about 4-6 inches apart to the naked eye. It took all of about five minutes.
It was so incredible! He called one of her best friends and he called her brother, telling them what he was witnessing.
He says, “Just way too cool!!! She knew that would be what I was looking for.”
She made sure he had no choice not to know!
