I received a sweet surprise visit this morning from Amber and her friend, Zach, since they were off from school this week for spring break. Although both Amber and I have been having a difficult time recently, the mood was upbeat as Amber discussed the plans for the upcoming concert in West Chester.

As I walked them to the door at about noon, we were discussing whether or not Zach had seen the tree in person or just in photos. When I opened the door to see them out, we noticed that the "Casey tree" lights were on! I thought nothing of it as I unplugged the extension cord from the timer and then the timer from the outdoor outlet.

Later in the afternoon my thoughts went to the tree and suddenly I thought, "Oh my gosh, could it be Casey?" I have been repeatedly asking Casey to give me some kind of sign that her spirit is alive and that she is OK. In fact, I have been asking her aloud as I stand under the tree. I suddenly remembered from my readings in the area of the paranormal, that spirits frequently try to communicate with us through the use of electricity, by turning lights or radios on and off, for example. I rushed to check the timer and indeed, it was still set to come on at approximately 6:00 pm and go off at approximately 12:15 am. It has been doing this religiously for months!

I believe that Casey was giving both me and Amber that sign that I have been waiting for and that Amber and I really needed at this time!
