(Pam)

When I was 15 years old, my neighbor/softball coach/’big sister’ Pam 'graduated' from this Earth as a result of a brain tumor. I was devastated! She was only 25 years old. I remember writing a poem to her after the funeral and crying my eyes out every time the song “Always Something There To Remind Me” by Naked Eyes would play on the radio. It was about three decades later when I started noticing Pam reaching out to me and reminding me she was still ‘with me’, as the song would randomly play wherever I happened to be, when I was thinking of her. One year, it was Jan. 21st which was her birthday. I was walking through Bed, Bath & Beyond and in my mind wishing Pam a happy birthday. The next song that played over the store intercom was “Always Something There To Remind Me.” It made me smile! Ever since I took notice of the link between thinking of her and the song playing it happened more often. Another significant time this happened I had been at my parent’s house with my teenage twin girls. As I was pulling away from the house to make the 40 min drive home, I glanced at the house Pam grew up in and said to myself, “Hey Pam, where have you been, I haven’t heard your song in a while.”  We were almost home when I decided to stop for gas a couple miles from the house. It was 2013 and I had a brand new SUV. After pumping the gas and turning the car back on, you would’ve thought the world was coming to an end when the radio didn’t automatically turn on. The twins were accusing me of not knowing how to work the new car and frantically trying to tell me how to control the radio.  You’d think they were going to die in the silence! We continued to drive in silence. At a stop sign I turned off the ignition and re-started the car hoping the radio would turn on since I was trying to appease the girls. As I reached another stop sign I said to myself, “Pam, are you messing with my radio?” and laughed silently.  We pulled in the garage about 5 minutes later and both girls raced out of the car and into the house. I turned off the ignition and began to get out of the car when I thought to myself, “This is a new car and if the radio isn’t working, I need to take it back to the dealer and have it looked at!”  I got back in the car to make sure it wasn’t ‘user error’ before calling the dealership and restarted the ignition.  What do you know, the radio came on and what song was playing? You guessed it!  I started honking the horn to get the girls attention. One of them popped her head out the door to see what was going on and all I could say was, “The song, it’s the song!”  They thought I was crazy, but I knew once again that Pam was reaching through the spirit realm to say hello! To this day, she still reaches out to me with the song I first heard 40 years ago!
