THE FINAL CHAPTER : A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY (Sept 2009 to Jan 2010)
At the Grotto of Our Immaculate Conception, in Lourdes
Daniel (14+ years old) (Sunday 27/9/2009)
Day 18 in Lourdes
NOVENA DAY 10
Grandma called at 6:30 am in the morning.
Uncle Peter (owner of the hotel), before putting the call through to our room, had said over the phone,
"It's your mother ..."
Mom did not take the call as she did not want to disturb You. The phone was by our beds.
You were not well this morning. You had just taken your medication and gone back to sleep.
Mom told Uncle Peter to inform Grandma to call back later. She did, an hour later, to tell Mom that Aunt Diana will be flying over tonight from Kuala Lumpur, and arriving in Lourdes tomorrow noon.
An instant sense of comfort filled your mother's heart, mind and soul, upon hearing that.
It was 9:30 am.
Dad had gone for Mass with Uncle Peter.
Sophia, the Korean girl, and Michelle, the Malaysia girl (who fasted and prayed for You the day she heard about You from Aunt Laura), came over to the hotel to pay You a visit.
Mom informed that You were still sleeping.
We spent some fellowship time together and had coffee in the TV lounge.
Michelle, in the course of our conversation, said some words that Mom felt, had a sprinkling of divine influence. Surely, Mother Mary must have sent her to say those words of comfort.
Taken on Sept 29, 2009.
Aunty D's second day with us.
