AUG 6, 24 .. THIRTY TWO YEARS AND COUNTING FOR PATTI AND ME..

On August the 6th, 1992, Patti and I met in Anchorage, Alaska.

Two days ago, Sunday, August the 4th, we just published a Post titled “PSYCHIC”.

Was there even one itty, bitty, teeny, weeny, itsy, bitsy, amount of Psychic energy within either of us that, as we were sitting in the same room in a meeting and that in a few minutes both of our lives would change?

No! None whatsoever! No clue!

Too much, far too much, detail is involved to “go into here” BUT, our meeting was as if a Higher Power of the Universe “scripted” the series of events that brought us together, face to face.

We most certainly “Did interact with one another”! I needed Patti to assist me and she most certainly did just that. At most we were together 5 minutes.

The next Saturday we saw one another for (again) no more than 5 minutes and that was that until late September of 1994.

I asked Patti if she liked to get Post Cards.

“Yes” Patti replied. I got her address and sent Patti Post Cards as I was travelling around Alaska, Hawaii, Hong Kong, India (when I met and worked with Mother Teresa), Thailand, Greece on the other side of the world etc from August 1992 until September 1994.

Now things began to happen.

Wednesday, September the 21st, 1994, I was “back home” in San Francisco, California. I called Patti up in Anchorage and we chit chatted. Just some “idle chit chat”.

“Cap, what are you doing, where are you going, what are your plans?” 

“Patti, this coming weekend, on Sunday the 25th, I am driving East to Detroit, Michigan, to attend the annual A.A. Tri County Conference.”

Long. Long. LONG quiet pause.

“Oh Cap I would so love to go on a long drive anywhere. For the past three days, I have been having life threating nose bleeds that have mandated that I go to our local Emergency Room in the middle of the night to get the bleeding stopped. I am so tired of the E.R., the bright lights, and the trauma! I would love to just get away for a long drive!”

“Can you get off work?”

“Yes I have days and days of comp time earned.”

“I will call you back in a few minutes.”

I did..

“Patti go to the Anchorage Airport and pickup your ticket to fly down next Saturday the 24th!”

On Sunday, the 25th of September 1994, Patti and I headed East on Interstate 80 for Detroit.

On Monday the 26th we stopped in Wendover, Nevada, for the night. I slept in my Suburban. Patti slept in a room at Motel 6. Let me tell you! There was absolutely no boy-girl stuff going on! 

Tuesday morning I was up early, washing the windshield of our Suburban. Suddenly I received a very strong, make no mistake about it, not a suggestion, but a pointed message from God that went..

“If you really care about your lady friend go up to her room and pray for her!”

Knock. Knock. Hi Patti. May I come in? I want to pray over you!

Back to bed Patti went. I said .. “God I feel awkward about this. What am I supposed to do God?” .. “Pray over her!!”

So, beginning at the very top of her head, slowly going inch by inch down to the very soles of her feet, “I prayed.”

And that was that!

To this day, to this instant, Patti has never again had a life threatening nose bleed! PERIOD.

I myself have but THAT is another story. The Mayo Clinic STOPPED my horrific nose bleeds.

And here Patti and I are, thirty two years later and counting.

Whewie Huh?

Cap and Patti
