Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Hello and welcome back to CC Airwaves.
My name is Paige Matillo andI'm here with my co-host, Joel
Hansel.
How are you doing today, Joel?

Speaker 2 (00:38):
I'm doing well, paige .
The weather's nice.
The trees are beginning to bud,flowers are poking up out of
the ground, spring is here.
I was going to say spring hassprung and I am so happy.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
I know it's finally starting to get warmer.
We're actually filming thisepisode the day after the
eclipse, so that was wonderfulto see and it just feels like
everything's moving in a reallygood direction right now.
Agreed, I can't imagineanything better today than to
film an episode of Messages fromHeaven and share some beautiful

(01:13):
signs with all of you.
So today we'll be sharing theseheartfelt stories from those
who have felt messages fromtheir departed twins, signs that
suggest that their specialconnection lives on.
So I will start us off with ourfirst story.
This story was submitted byBrittany Kay.

(01:36):
My mom and her twin sister, amy,had a close bond.
They were two halves of a wholesharing a connection that went
beyond words.
Then Amy passed.
It left a gaping hole in mymom's heart.
She didn't know what to do, butfound great comfort in praying.
At the time, my mother wasstruggling with infertility, but
this issue seemed smaller nowthat she had lost her sister.

(01:58):
A few months after the loss, mymother found out that she was
pregnant.
It felt like a ray of light.

(02:19):
She then prayed for know heraunt.
No is beautiful, and sometimesit is full circle.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
She never got to know her aunt.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
No, she didn't.
It appears that her aunt haddied a few months before she was
born.
I think it's really beautifulthat she was born on their
birthday.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
That is pretty cool, and the fact that she has a lot
of the mannerisms of her aunthas to fill her mom with some
joy.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah, just reminds her of her sister and everything
that she was.
Joel, do you have any twins inyour family?

Speaker 2 (03:01):
My aunt, so that actually my mom's aunt, so
actually my mom's aunt.
So my grandfather'ssister-in-law had two sets of
twins.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
That's really cool.
I didn't really know any twins.
I had one set of friends thatwere twins in high school but
I've never really met any othersso I'm not sure.
But they had a really deepconnection.
So I, as I know, I'm surethat's a lot the same for many
others.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
I'm sure a lot of twins can say that Our second
story was submitted by Alexis M.
When I found out that I waspregnant with twins, my husband
and I started daydreaming aboutour girls.
We imagined them running aroundthe house and watching them
become best friends.
We also debated if they wouldcreate their own secret language

(03:53):
, something that we had seen onTV many times.
Unfortunately, only one babysurvived the pregnancy.
We only brought home onebeautiful, healthy baby girl
from the hospital when we weresupposed to be bringing home two
.
My husband and I decided weshouldn't tell our daughter

(04:14):
until she was old enough tounderstand.
On her eighth birthday, shewoke up and told us about a
dream she had the night beforeshe said.
She said she'd met her sister.
I almost started choking on mywaffles.
I asked her to tell us moreabout the dream.
She said that she was in afield playing with another girl
who looked exactly like her.

(04:36):
The girl told her she was hersister, katie, and lived in
heaven.
My husband and I were shockedthat was the name we had given
to our baby were shocked.
That was the name we had givento our baby.
Following this, we began toopenly discuss Katie and even
took our daughter to her gravesite at the cemetery.
I had not acknowledged it untilthen, but I had never truly

(05:00):
confronted the reality of losingKatie.
Talking about her with ourdaughter made the loss feel more
real, forcing me to confront mygrief.
This heavenly sign was what Ineeded to begin my healing
journey.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
So in this story the sign from heaven or from Katie
didn't even just help the twin,it helped their mother.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Paige.
We've done so many podcasts andwe've heard so many times from
Rhonda that the duration forsomebody's grief is different
for every person.
It seems like Alexis's motherdidn't even start the process of
grieving.
It got delayed for eight years,until this dream that her

(05:47):
daughter had, and then at thatpoint she was able to begin that
whole grieving process andhopefully work through that.
That's a pretty amazing story.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah, I mean she just had a baby.
I mean there probably wasn't alot of time for her to sit in
her grief and actually reflecton the loss.
She was too busy taking care ofthe other daughter and so now
that the daughter was older sheknew about her.
They probably never evenmentioned her before that point
because they were waiting untilshe was old enough to talk about

(06:22):
her.
So it was probably very hard tohold it in.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
They even took Alexis to the cemetery to visit the
grave.
It was probably the first timethey'd been back in eight years.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, and it's beautiful that it brought them
closer together as a family, andit also shows the importance of
visiting cemeteries.
And our last story about twinsand their messages from heaven
was submitted by Cameron C.
I was just 16 when my twinsister passed away.

(06:54):
Years have passed, yet I stillfind myself sharing the story of
what happened the day of herfuneral.
It was November and it was acold one.
This is nothing new in Ohio,but it seemed a little colder
than usual that day.
There was even a light snowfall.
After her burial I found myselfneeding a moment alone.
I decided the best place to bealone and feel close to my

(07:15):
sister was to sit in her garden.
She loved that garden so muchthat she spent every sunny day
out there tending to it.
She was often told that she hada green thumb.
Winters always made her sadwatching her garden disappear as
the days got colder.
As I walked towards her garden,I noticed one yellow flower
standing strong.
All her flowers would normallybe gone by September, but this

(07:39):
one was still hanging on.
It stood out bright against thesnow, almost like my sister was
trying to tell me something.
To me it felt like a nudge tofind hope in the least likely
places, but if you takesomething else away from this
story, that's great.
I just wanted to share thishopeful message with others.
I like that.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
It has very strong symbolism of a strong, vibrant
flower in this cold winter snowCold wintry, snow-covered garden
.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Mm-hmm, and I mean, november is definitely not the
time that flowers are sproutingin Ohio, so I definitely think
that might have been a messagefrom his sister, just reminding
him that even this might be evena different message than what
he said, but that she's alwaysthere, that there is hope in the
most unlikely places.
You just got to look for it.

(08:35):
That is all that we have fortoday.
Thank you so much for listening.
