"Save the Cheerleader, Save the World"

Thanks to iTunes, I have been able to purchase the first season of Heroes. I was introduced to the show by some friends here, and immediately got hooked. Sure...there are the occasional bad lines and deliveries, but the show really appeals to me! (and not only because of the infused Japan references) I love the idea of having some sort of "special" gift or power. It got me thinking.... if I were to have a special power, what would I want? Do I already have one? I would love to have that 6th sense.... the ability to see the world for more than just the "physical". Perhaps I got a small taste of that after Grandma died earlier this month. I have dreampt about her twice since she passed away, and maybe....just maybe.... she actually came to visit me. One of the dreams was extremely vivid. It was her memorial service in church and I was sitting in the front. I was not alone.... Grandma was sitting beside me, chatting away as usual! BUT, I was the only one who could see and hear her! I became upset because I realized that it was her spirit sitting with me. The priest asked me if Angela Lovelace was present, and I said, "Yes!" He immediately looked at me and said, "We have to let her go....." and then in an instant, she vansihed and I felt her spirit had moved on to Heaven. I don't know if I have the 6th sense.... I am STILL waiting to see a ghost in my waking life.....but I do know that I was special enough to have Grandma come for a brief visit in my dreams.... to help me deal with letting go..... and that is definitely good enough for me! -M
