In my last post,’ A Penny, A Butterfly, A Dream and Pizza, ‘ I shared how John seemed to be sending me messages from the Other Side.
And the signs continue.
This post details the most profound confirmation I’ve experienced yet. It’s interesting because the moment it happened, I didn’t recognize it as a sign per se. Perhaps I was too overwhelmed by the event itself to process it as such. Only in the past few days have I begun to fully appreciate its power.
On Sunday, Mothers of Murdered Columbus Children (MOMCC) held the closing ceremony for their Trendy Trades Summer Youth Program. The Trendy Trades Program is designed to teach young people trade skills and keep them safe during the summer months. The program offers options like construction, automotive, podcasting, sign language, and marketing. It aims to provide youth with opportunities they might not otherwise have, potentially reducing violence by keeping them engaged and productive.
At the end of the ceremony, each youth group gave a final presentation about what they learned. Malissa Thomas-St.Clair, MOMCC founder and organizer of this program, asked those in attendance to vote for the top three presentations.
The American Sign Language group’s final presentation was truly exceptional. All the presentations were enjoyable, but their performance was particularly impactful, captivating the audience and securing first place.
The video is a beautiful tribute to Mothers Of Murdered Columbus Children based on Michael Jackson’s song Heal The World. Heal The World, penned and performed by Michael Jackson, is a powerful anthem urging people worldwide to unite through love, compassion, and collective action to create a better world for all.
As a lifelong Michael Jackson fan and a committed member of the MJ Community, this moved me profoundly.
The moment their presentation started, I recognized the first bars of ‘Heal the World’, and my eyes instantly welled up. Thankfully, I chose a seat at the back of the room, as the tears started to stream.
The video brought a familiar ache – a memory of John’s casket and the vow I made to find purpose in my pain. Now, more than ever, healing the world with MOMCC feels like the path to fulfilling that promise.
This video serves as a powerful confirmation, from both John and my hero, Michael Jackson, that the path I have chosen is correct.
Due to permission restrictions, embedding the video directly on this blog post is not possible. However, you can view the video, which effectively illustrates my points, by following this link to the Facebook post.
