Jack Turners Other Lifetimes
I had read about reincarnation and past lives and there was a suggestion.
To ask a young child “who were you before you were GABBY.”
On Saturday September 15th 2012 I asked my grandson Jack Turner
“Who were you before you were Jack?”
He told me that he used to be a magic teacher on Saturn before he died.
He told me that he was seventeen when he died and I was six, and I was his
best student.
He said the kids were 4, 5, 6, 3, 2 and one.
He said that he had missed me SO much when I left, that he cried.
He also told me that he had been orange cat and now a tree.
He said the orange cat was our current pet Sophie, who is a cocker spaniel.
He said he had also been a bear and a leaf in other lives.
He was talking so fast I did not want to slow him down, so I didn’t.
I wrote this all down after he was satisfied and went into the house.
His amber eyes got huge and he said “Guess what my favorite life was?”
I could not guess.
He yelled “I was a TREE! and you PLANTED me! Grandma, I was so
happy when you planted my seeds!”
I asked if I had dogs and he said “you had four dogs and about sixteen
cats and I was SOOOOOOO happy Grandma!”
He gave me a big hug afterwards and said this in the middle of a
rather long answer.
“I won’t remember this, so you’d better remember it, OKAY, Grandma?”
He told me Saturn has one ring but some people think it has three.
He talked about death like it was no big deal.
Then I died, but then I was a butterfly!”
big smile.
I can never tell you how much I adore this child.
These words have not been invented.
