Hi. Everything is going great here, H is gone again (has been for 3 weeks), he's due back on the 31st.

Just wanted to ask if anyone believes in fate/and or psychic stuff?

Well, weird thing happened. As most of you know I was married b/4. My ex-husband destroyed just about everything I owned during fits of rage that he had on and off for years.

My mother died when I was 20. In my bedroom growing up I had a set of paintings hanging on my wall, all girls w/big eyes in different costumes (harlequin, etc.). I took them with me when I married and they were destroyed by my x-h years ago.

I've been thinking lately about how wishy washy I was during all of those abusive years, how I didn't stand up for myself, how much I lost, etc. How I'd like to have some of those things just to pass on to my kids, and now I can't. I have been having dreams about my x-h, me telling him I hate him, give me my things back, etc. I have also had dreams about my mother. In some of the dreams, she is there as the abuse goes on, in others my present H is there and "saves" me.

So, I've never seen those paintings anywhere, my mother always told me that she loved them because they made her think of me (I have big, dreamy eyes).

Anyway...

My daughter was playing in the tub last night and banged her mouth on the sid eof the tub, hurting her tooth.
I called her dentist, her old dentist, the base dentist, NO ONE called me back (of course, today is Sunday). So, I opened the phonebook, the first number I saw was for a Ped. dentist, he answered the phone, he was at his office! He told me to bring D right in. I did and he was showing my D the paintings in his office, saying things like "look at this litter girl with the cat, she has big eyes like you". Wow... I looked at the paintings, his office was loaded with them, and they made me happy for some reason. The artists name is Keane.

My D is ok, knocked her tooth loose, but it didn't fall out, he said she'd be fine, and the tooth would be ok. As were were leaving, he said "those paintings look like your daughter, you should see if you can find them, your daughter has big, dreamy eyes" OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As soon as he said that, I knew this was the same artist! I went on ebay, and I FOUND THE EXACT SET THAT I HAD AS A CHILD!!! HOW FREAKY IS THAT?????? I bid a VERY high bid hoping no one would outbid me, I doubt anyone will, LOL. I just feel so happy now about this, I know it's a material thing, and my life is great without this "stuff", but now I will hopefully have something that I can give my daughter that I used to have (not the same exact items, but the same paintings!). I just feel such a sense of peace.

Had to share!
