Ever since my move to Colorado, Randy has been very emphatic about telling me, "I want a sister." He was very attached to his sister, Arielle, who stayed in New Jersey with my ex-husband as we divorced. I would try to assuage Randy's grief, along with my own, telling him "someday you'll have another sister." Randy loves Arielle and misses her immensely. She was not only his sister, she was his protector and nurturer...she was his safety blanket. Suddenly all on our own in Colorado, Randy and I became even closer than we already were. He would watch me meditate all the time (he is quite the observer), he'd let me share Reiki with him and he especially loved being near me whenever I was doing anything that involved the angels - especially angel card readings. Randy would lie on the bed as I engaged in an angel card reading for a client...his tail would thump a joyous beat and his breathing would shift dramatically. I knew he and the angels were on their own little voyage and Randy was making a lot of new angelic friends. What I didn't know, however, was the depth of the friendships being created.

Time went on and Randy's incessant pleas for a sister persisted. For two weeks, every day I would hear, "I want a sister." Then there would be no mention of a sister for a few weeks, however, I quickly learned that the pleas would soon ensue again. Randy kept putting it "out there"...I WANT A SISTER. One day I asked him, "Well what about a brother...could you maybe want a brother?" In no uncertain terms I was told, "NO! I want a sister." (Okay...sorry I asked!)

"I Want A Sister!"

A few months ago, the mom of one of Randy's best friends from the dog park we go to asked if we'd consider fostering their dog, Rezza, for a couple of years; her husband's company was relocating them to Dubai and along with other concerns, they did not want to quarantine Rezza. Without hesitation, I adamantly put my foot down and said, "Thank you, but no." Randy had already lost one sister and was still grieving Arielle...why would I set him up for inevitable heartache again? A decision had been made (Rezza's mom completely understood) and the topic never came up again. What did come up again, however, were Randy's emphatic reminders, "I want a sister." The words were always the same, "I want a sister."

Then a few weeks ago, Randy said something to me that really caught my attention. I remember the night vividly. It was late Sunday evening and we were sitting outside on the balcony...enjoying the beautiful Colorado skyline. While I was in the midst of a conversation, Randy suddenly interrupted me and blurted out, "I get my sister tomorrow." I looked at Randy and exclaimed, "Absolutely not...you have lost your mind boy! You are not getting a sister tomorrow. Absolutely not!" He looked at me and gave me what I call the "stupid human snot sigh." Randy was totally frustrated with me, and I thought he had lost his mind.

The next morning, I woke up and went about my typical Monday morning routine...I meditated, went to the gym, came back home and got Randy to the park. Once at the park, I noticed that Rezza and her mom were there. This was the first time we'd seen them in a long time. Rezza's mom was excited to see us and anxiously wanted to talk. Although Randy had immediately taken off with energetic speed to run with his buddy Rezza, once he sensed that conversation was about to ensue, he quickly ran over to stand beside me. Lo and behold, Rezza's mom had a change of heart. She realized that asking us to foster Rezza was not necessarily in anyone's best interest - especially Randy and Rezza's. As such, she asked if we would take Rezza as our own when they moved in a few weeks. As I heard this my jaw dropped. Off to my right sat a very proud Randy, tail wagging, staring straight up at me, "I told you...I get my sister tomorrow." Suddenly I was the one with my tail between my legs for not listening to Randy. And although Randy didn't physically get his sister that day, he did get her. I've learned to trust Divine Orchestration (that's how Randy came into my life), and this was by far divinely orchestrated. And then there were two!

Randy and Rezza started out as best friends, eagerly chasing each other in the dog park; now they are sister and brother. Rezza eased her way into our home without any effort at all. I was certain there would be nights of crying/whimpering, and yet there was none. When I talked about this with a dear friend of mine she looked at me and said very matter of fact, "That's because Rezza knows she is home."

To this day it astounds me that Randy had insight to this wisdom. He KNEW in no uncertain terms that he was getting his sister "tomorrow." I always knew Randy was in cahoots with the angels, yet I never knew how strong his connection with them was. The depth of Randy's connectedness with Spirit is something I treasure...he is truly my teacher -my angel on earth- and I thank God for the lessons and wisdom he imparts upon me everyday.

Randy with his sister, Rezza.
