Reading via Internet Chat Room
10/14/2001

Some notes: I was sent to this chat site by a friend. After visiting a few times, I was given a reading. The people doing the readings are not professional mediums - they are students.
I was supposed to be read by “journey”. As we were about to start, journey began reading someone else. Lots of confusion followed. I have edited out most of what journey said as it just makes it harder to follow and was definitely not meant for me.I also deleted all the people entering/leaving the chat (as well as any reference to the location of the site).
This transcript makes it appear very brief but it actually took a good twenty minutes.
My comments are in [square brakets].
<di> Al are you there?
<Al> Yes
<di> Sorry about that, sometimes spirit is much stronger than we are.
<Al> :)
<di> I need a moment to focus and so does journey so lets talk just a bit
<di> where do you live?  what part of the us?
<Al> OK

<di> was there an engaggement for she feels like you were that closely
connected
<Al> no
<Al> want the relationship?
<journey> al you gave her a picture of some kind
<di> not yet al
<Al> could be
[I was thinking of the web site but, also, I had been holding a picture of her when we started]
<journey> something between you that you have memory of
<di> Very pretty very smart and really feels like she own you. lol so
strange
<di> oops owns
<di> ah, dad
<Al> YES
<di> sorry lost it for a moment,
<di> such a wave of emotion
<journey> i do feel military connection and proud
<Al> no
<di> seh sure does like to show people when they are right
<di> al is this your daughter?  I am lost here we have two different
connections
<Al> step daughter
<di> same thing
<di> in her eyes
<Al> yes
<di> there is a reference to something very tiny, that you carry or that is
special between you, tiny is the keyword
<journey> is there anyone having trouble flying the flag
<di> understand that?
<di> it is very tiy, like a trinket
<di> sorry tiny
<di> holding it in her hand
<Al> no...
<di> hmm not sure, just keep it but she is bent over looking or rather
cradeling this in her hand
<Al> could this be for her mom who's right here?
<journey> yes
<di> this is like a tiny tiny angel
<Al> my wife does
[My wife showed me she carries a tiny angel encased in plastic]
<di> I can't see it clearly, ask her mom it is important to her, she won't
let it go
<journey> al, your dad is passed correct?
<Al> it wasn't hers
<Al> J-no
<di> I don't get the symbolization then, just keep it

<di> ( refocusing)
[journey throws in some info about numbers and my father that doesn’t connect at all]
<Al> no
<di> your daughter was involved in music or there is a special reference to
music right now
<di> there is a very haunting melody around her
<Al> yes
<di> like irish whistles
<di> she is at peace
<Al> like church music
[There are 2 ‘haunting’ songs by Enigma Jodi wanted played at her funeral. She told my wife this just days before the accident.]
<di> no pin no suffering
<di> sorry pain
<di> it is important to know that
<Al> yes
<di> this young lady was so compassionate that she wantsyou to know that
she is so saddened by what happened in Ny
<di> but yes mom I am helping
<di> does that make sense
<Al> yes
[On 9-11 my wife told Jodi “you have to help all those people” as she had already been there for a while (crossed)]
This was probably our best validation
<di> she had a connection to one woman who actually perished in this tragedy
<Al> unknkown
<di> Lol she is showing me a chocolate cake
<di> like she wants a cake
<Al> YES!
<di> only mom can make it like that
<Al>:)
[This reading took place on Jodi’s birthday!]
<di> dad is a mean hand in the kitchen too!
<Al> NO!!

<di> laughing
<di> i think you burn everything you touch lol
<Al> Yes
<di> ya know al, she may be your stepdaughter but in her heart you are her
father
<Al> I know
<di> there is a special bond between you
<Al> Yes
<di> and a lot has to do with the respect you give her mom
<journey> i hear flowers are important
<journey> and just done.

[Could be about flowers we put on grave and accident scene a few hours before]
<di> a lot of love between you all

<di> There is a brother right?
<Al> 2
<di> two other siblings
<di> lol
<Al> 3
[2 brothers and a sister]
<di> ok, the m brother, I think it is mike
<di> is as sensitive as her and this tragedy has affected him immensley
<Al> bro in law
[Mike is her brother in law (she really liked him).
One of her brothers is having a particularly hard time with her passing.]
<di> he is angry
<di> he is  well it is deep with him
<di> and it is showing in strange ways
<Al> that's one of her brothers
<di> I am not sure if she means her passing or the wtc
<Al> hers
<di> She is trying to help me understand but I just don't get names sorry
<Al> it's ok
<journey> al your grandma passed and was a favorite amoung the family
<di> Is there a police connection here
<journey> she is small and short
<di> with this brother
<Al> J- many years ago di -no police

<journey> an aunt has passed as well.
<di> She is definetly showing me a police uniform so just keep it

<journey> and she points to you as decisive person
<journey> and that collects stuff
<journey> she shows me rocks
<Al> no
<journey> and she shows me box
<Al> nothing

[Yes, my grandmother and an aunt have passed but none of the rest of this applies (from journey)]
<di> I think I have it ..  troubled brother  and police will meet, nothing
tragic, actually just annoying
<Al> NO
<journey> i let it all go then and i thank you for listening.
<Al> TY journey
<Al> di- ok
<di> thanks journey for trying, this is confusing when we are not on the
same wavelength but this girl is so strong.
<di> There is a reference to white lillies or a flower like that and it is
ok mom.
<di> this seems to be  adecision you are making. does this make sense?
<Al> no...
<di> these are on a table, like a dining room table
<di> ( just telling you what I see)
<Al> no, sorry
<di> like go ahead with the dinner
<di> like a holiday dinner.
<di> It may make sense at the strangest time
<di> the white flowers will be a key

<di> I know I am just not gettng what she is showing me
<di> and she is trying so hard.
