Ever had an imaginary friend as a child?

[Lorenzo]

No.

[keih liwanag]

it's not imaginary. my third eye is very much open when i was a child.

i (together with some advisors and spirit questors) have learned to "somehow" close it when i was in college..until now.

[jorgeanna]

No, but my sisters do... we asked somebody about it and we were told that if kids have imaginary friends, that means to say they are highly imaginative and intelligent...

Third eye?

You saw ghosts, Keih?

[keih liwanag]

^ very much lorenz.  now don't be scared. haha i still see them today..though i don't mind that they're there. my advisors and some friends told me, if i want to close it, i should not be mentioning them to others. act as if i don't see them. i even used to be followed by a black ghost during high school days. we had to move to different houses because of that. i was sick all the time. questors and priests come to our house before to bless me.

The only reason I ask because I dated a girl, her name was Tam, who had also a third eye. One time i walked her to her dormitory and then out of no where she grabbed my hand and told me not to go. I thought she was just joking around and saying that for reason for me to stay, pero she was being serious. She mentioned the same thing you mentioned, "Grey or dark figures". I would always ask her if there were some that followed me, she never said anything.

You know what really freaked me out? Was when my best friend died in 2007, i was mourning heavily. And Tam said to me that there was a grey figure that followed me kono that month. November-December. Rob passed away in November 19, 2007.

I do believe in ghosts, Keih. I may be a man of faith, but i do not doubt ghosts , nor can i explain why i believe in them but i just do.

What you have is something very...special.

Some people, like William Blake, continue to have imaginary friends well into adulthood.

[Lorenzo]

I think the only time i remember as a kid hearing about imaginary friends was at a sleep over at my friend's house. As soon as we were sleeping in our home-made tent/kingdom/sleeping place (kid imagination), he mentioned how if i didnt mind if someone stayed with us. I was perplexed, since there was only my friend and I. I asked, "who else?"

"Oh, my imaginary friend!"

Ning dagan ko sa downstairs.

The dude scared the heck out of me. Hahaha

that is true lorenz. your date-friend did the right thing. we can close our sixth sense, but if it will bother someone else, hurt someone, then by all means, we can say it out loud to protect him. some ghosts follow you. then faith comes in. a priest once told me, they can show up in front of me, and they can even touch me. those ghosts are really strong elements, make us weak. but if i say my prayer to the very deepest meaning that i can, no ghost can ever harm me. so far, the apostle's creed is my weapon and had not failed me!

Salamat, Keih. Proof yan that meron anhel at mga demonyo sa ating environment. Some things that we cannot see with our physical eyes, but can see with the eyes of faith.

And in this, you and others who have this special ability, to see things that are invisible to others.

When Tam told me about how there was someone following me, I knew that it was Rob. I just knew. Only because after hearing news of his death, i was devastated. I was in such a state of depression, Keih, for almost 2 weeks. I could not stop crying. You see he was such a close friend to me; and his death was completely unexpected. I was utterly devastated. After mourning him for 5 days in bed, i had to force myself to visit a church. Forced myself to visit and pray and cried in front of the crucifix at church. Talked to my priests about it and about the soul of my friend (who died very young.....).

I performed the novena to the Blessed Virgin Mary and then to the Blessed Archangel Gabriel. And prayers for the dead for Rob.

I will tell you this, even before Tam said that she saw something follow me, I knew Rob was there following me. I just knew it.

There were times where i would be in my apartment doing work and then i could hear his voice literally. Or just smell his cologne ; a waft of it as if he just brushed my face with his hand. It was rather strong , the presence that i felt. This continued probably for 2 months until I finished my devotions. After I finished it, the feeling of him there disappeared.

He moved on, Thanks be to God....

[Lorenzo]

This is Rob and our friend Mike. ("Robbo" in the right):



My best friend...
i miss him.

[keih liwanag]

^ awww...

glad you surpassed that stage of mourning. and even happier because it didn't shake your faith. i admire people who love their friends so much it kills them too when they die. but there'll always be those trials which will eventually make a better us.

its hard, sometimes, Keih. Hard because i know that God sent him my way , as an angel to help me. Really he was a good brother (from a different mother and father, we used to joke!).

I never met a person so very deep in thought like him. Always giving more of himself to people in need, and not caring for himself...
Mourning him has been hard, because there were so many things i wanted to tell him, so many things we were going to do after college, etc. Plans to meet up with each other when we were older. You know its very rare to meet a person who changes us for the better; changes our thinking, affects it , adds depth and breadth to our point of view. Robbo was a liberal; and I a diehard conservative in college. Because of him, i became more 'moderate' minded. so to say. hhaha.

My wish, is this: someday when i leave this world, that i get to see him again. I miss him, so very much.
Words cannot even begin to describe. My smile hides that.

[keih liwanag]

truly one big challenge in life, when someone you love dearly goes away. either it creates a better you or a monster in you. glad you're not the latter. and i am sure your friend loves who the way you are right now.

my prayers goes to your friend and my wish goes to your wish being granted.
