ok - I know most of you reading this will think : She's soooo out there...! but I know I'm not! My daughter has never understood why some kids are lying, for example she'd come home asking (age 4) "mom - why is Emma lying about her taking ballet classes when I know she is not" where to I'd response it is normal for kids to claim they are doing things or their parents have a certain career cause they feel if they say that it is kinda true and they think it'd be awesome to be true...
My daughter who is 7 and a half today has always shown a different awareness than most kids - also my friends and family have all said the same. Sure she is intuitive I realize some people are just that no matter whom their parents are, but my suspicion started when she was barely one and a half. We were living in a three bedroom appartment, every night after I'd put her to sleep and right before I'd go to sleep I used to check on her and every night all the in-build closet doors in her room would be opened by a 90 degrees angle... I closed them and went to bed - every night the same!!! One evening as I was in the kitchen cooking dinner and she was in her room right next to the kitchen I could hear her talk with someone, I went to her and asked who she was talking to whereto she replied "Thomas" I then asked her where is Thomas? She then pointed up the wall and said "There!" with a tone and facial expression as if she didn't comprehend why I even asked that question since it was soooo obvious!!! I thought to myslef " ok then I at least know the name of the annoying being that always opens the doors at night!!".
When she had just turned 3 my mom picked her up from daycare to go visit my grandmother. As they were driving to my grandmother my daughter said to my mom "You know - great-grandmother isn't home!??" my mom replied " sure she is!" My grandmother has always pulled on my mom whenever she needed to go anywhere apart from the grocery store... My daughter kept saying to my mom "she isn't home!!" my mom finally asked her while they where still on their way driving there "Where else would she be?" my daughter then replied "She is in the hospital!" very insistingly. True enough - when they arrived my grandmother wasn't there and when my mom reached her she was in the hospital... nobody knew except for my 3 year old...
Since then she has many times replied to thoughts I've had in my mind - never spoken out loud as well as friends and family around us - freaking everyone out! And now lately she has started seeing ghosts/beings that the rest of us don't see - she hears them as well, describes them and everything but isn't scared of them unless they have this unfamiliar (non-human) face.
I now seek someone who carries the same gift as my daughter cause I don't think I can be of much help for much longer since her abilities seem to grow fast and I need help to guide her through this on her path in life.
