I REMEMBER HEARING THIS SONG AND LIKING IT SO MUCH AS A CHILD. WE USED TO PLAY IT ALL THE TIME. IT IS GREAT TO FIND IT AND HEAR IT AGAIN. MY MOTHER TOLD ME BEFORE SHE LEFT HER BODY THAT SHE DID NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ME BECAUSE I AM A SURVIVOR. I BELIEVE MY INDIAN DNA AND INSTINCTS HAVE HELPED ME A LOT AND I ALWAYS REMEMBER HER SAYING THAT WHEN I AM GOING THROUGH A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE OR OTHER GREAT DIFFICULTIES. SHE GAVE ALL THE DOCTORS AND NURSES IN THE HOSPITAL INDIAN NAMES AND MY SISTERS TOO BEFORE SHE PASSED INTO HER JOURNEY FROM HER BODY BUT SHE JUST LOOKED AT ME AND TOLD ME THAT SHE DID NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ME. SHE ORCHESTRATED THE DAY AND TIMING OF HER DEPARTING WITH HER OWN SHAMANIC CEREMONY LED BY MY COUSIN DOCTOR WHO WAS TRAINED IN SUCH CEREMONIES BEFORE SHE DEPARTED. SHE WAS BLASTING HER INDIAN DRUMMING MUSIC SO LOUD THAT EVERYONE AROUND THAT WING OF THE HOSPITAL COULD HEAR IT AND I THINK SHE WANTED THEM TO HEAR IT. At THEE END OF TBE CEREMONY SHE BLESSED US ALL WITH A STRONG SHAKE OF A SACRED BLESSED FEATHER AND A DEEP INTENSE LOOK IN EACH PERSONS EYES IN SILENCE THAT LEFT EVERYONE IN CEREMONY HOLDING HANDS AROUND HER SPEECHLESS AND ALMOST BREATHLESS. SHE WOULD NOT GO UNTIL THE BIG CHIEF FINALLY APPEARED TO HER TO ESCORT HER OUT OF HER BODY AND SHE LEFT SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PRESENCE AND PURE POWER OF FREEDOM AND PEACE WITH US AFTER SHE LEFT. SHE WAITED FOR HIM ALL DAY AS SHE TALKED ABOUT ALL WHO CAME TO HER FROM THE OTHER SIDE. SHE WOULD NOT LEAVE UNTIL HE CAME.
