But, most days, like you, it's all I can do to keep a handle on the normal.<br /><br />I love that you had a Cindy. I've read that having imaginary friends in childhood is considered a sign of high intelligence so there's that. :)Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-34933132229298524372013-04-12T12:57:03.235-04:002013-04-12T12:57:03.235-04:00That's very eerie, but I love the idea of her ...That's very eerie, but I love the idea of her seeing her future great-grandchildren.

I am quite sure my desire for it to be real greatly influences my ability to objectively analyze evidence. I have had a couple of unexplained encounters--aside from Jean & Johnny--myself, but I can't reliably say what was at the root of them. I tend to believe that energy is at the root of it and that we may someday have a logical, scientific explanation for paranormal phenomena, which will totally ruin everything, of course. :)<br /><br />(PS--I'm with you 100% on the lessons thing. 100%)Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-40834095700087685362013-04-12T11:22:13.993-04:002013-04-12T11:22:13.993-04:00Now that I've wondered, I'll probably alwa...Now that I've wondered, I'll probably always wonder. :)Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-39660966615324942652013-04-12T10:54:11.687-04:002013-04-12T10:54:11.687-04:00I love that idea, Judy.

However...I have been wracking my brain since i first read this post to remember the name of my own imaginary friend, and it finally came to me. Mind you, there was no gender attached to my imaginary friend, but I vividly remember still having "Cindy" as a friend in kindergarten, because I was sent once (or more) to the corner, and "Cindy" accompanied me, and was a solace to my obviously tortured soul.Mark O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295762252612104201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-70406858391319276012013-04-11T17:44:19.377-04:002013-04-11T17:44:19.377-04:00My grandmother lived in an apartment in my parents...My grandmother lived in an apartment in my parents house the last decade of her life. She had a couple of experiences where she would come downstairs into her living room to find several children sitting on her couch. This used to give me the creeps. She swore it was her future great-grandchildren, but since one of them had red hair (and we've yet to have any red-heads) I'm not so sure.Julie DeMillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17929034148906710834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-89293472353957449612013-04-11T13:42:52.398-04:002013-04-11T13:42:52.398-04:00Freaky Fuckery is hereditary!

I also believe that we existed as spirits before we came to earth and that may be the reason why children seem so susceptible to "imaginary" friends. They were most recently spirits themselves :)Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16917139752555698353noreply@blogger.com
