1999
My nephew was born three years ago. He's a beautiful, smart, talented, good natured young man with lots of curly blonde hair, blue eyes and long, long eye lashes. We found out early that his mind is very open and he adores his Aunty, who also adores the heck out of him!

Before he was born, when my sis. was about 6 mos. pregnant, my mother had a dream about her future grandson. We did not know the sex of the baby yet, my sister wanted it to be a surprise. She dreamt that he was about 6feet tall, with curly blonde hair and blue eyes. We thought she was crazy, because my sister has dark, dark hair and eyes, and my brother in law is black, with black hair and brown eyes. Needless to say,her dream turned out to be correct.

I have always been open to paranormal and semi-psychic experiences, such as seeing spectres, dreaming about events that would usually occur the next day in one form or another. My friends get a big kick out of it when I start to dream. The psychic card readers LOVE me! Haha!

My nephew has not only proven to be a lot like his old Aunty, but connected to her as well. I called him one day, hoping to hear his cute voice before he went off to daycare, but I had just missed them, aparantly, because the answering machine picked up. I left him a message, just saying hello. I said "It's 8:15(AM), I'm just calling to say HI to Joey" My sister called me that afternoon and said they had been running late that morning and the funniest thing had happened. She said "I had just looked at my watch, we were just pulling out of the driveway at 8:15am, and Joey said "Hi Aunty! Mummy, where's Aunty?" And I told my sister to check her messages. We were pretty freaked out, but chalked it up to coincidence (well, I didn't). He was 2 then. In December, my boyfriend and I took a trip into Boston to walk about and look at the lights and do some shopping. My sister called me the next day and said "Where did you go last night? I was told you went out by Joey. He said "Aunty and Uncle are out tonight, they went out!" He has also shown other signs. My father and grandfather had both died before he was born. One day, while at my moms house (my grandfather had also lived there). My nephew stuck his head out of the front door and yelled "Hey, you kids! Get out of here now!" My grandfather was famous for doing that when ever the neighbourhood kids started to become unruly.

Other times, many times... my nephew talks about "the man" and "mommys Daddy who died," talking to him. "The man" was there just the other night when I put him to bed. I tried to find out if the man would tell his name, but either he didn't tell my nephew, or my nephew did not tell me. "The Man" rides with him in the car, and follows him around the house and moved with them. We all think it is my father, watching over the family. It's a nice feeling.

I hope that I am always this connected to Joey.
