Wow, I'm having major deja vu.  I think there was a post like yours not too long ago.

We reincarnate with souls we've been with before.  Your dad has probably been your dad before in another life, or he could have been someone else you love.  We don't have to keep the same roles each time. 

Hi Sandra,

Sorry, I didn't mean to make it sound like it matters if you bring this up again--it's perfectly fine.   

I don't think we necessarily change roles each time, I just think it happens.  I also don't think it matters what role you have or what role someone else has.  What matters is the current relationship you have going with that person, how you treat them, what you learn from them, what you can offer them, etc. 

It is my belief that a person's personality will live on somewhere in the afterlife.  Just because we reincarnate doesn't mean that you lose that part of you that you used to be.  We are able to be in more than one place at a time.   

But I am certainly not an authority on this subject.   I am only telling you what I know and believe. 

An example I can give you...When my son was born I took one look in his eyes and felt myself thinking "Where have you been?  It's been so long since I've seen you!"  I had an immediate feeling of having been with him (his spirit) before, in another lifetime.  I am sure we have.  But even though he is a different person this time around, it is still the same spirit.  See what I mean?  There is comfort there in knowing that our core being lives on, even though we aren't exactly the same person or personality.

Dear Vicky, don't worry about it I understood exactly what you meant

I can see the point that you are making when you say we are the same inside and the important thing is that we all get together again  But we will have to relate to each other in very different ways. The relationship I had with my father might never continue as such and that will be lost. That is what saddens me.
By the way, you commented about your feelings when meeting your son for the first time. I don't know if my daughter and I knew each other before this life (Probably we did) But I did feel respect when I looked into her eyes and I thought that was quite unusual since she was a newborn. Her eyes had a very powerful look and I could sense like a kind of resignation. I was a bit scared and everything but I tried to put it to the back of my mind. I wish I knew then what I know now because I could have understood better.
Peace , Love and Light.

Sandra.

Southern star,

You may think in your present form that something will be lost between the ones you love . But love is never lost, in-fact it is stronger in the after life,don't forget we are existing in a low vibrational energy pattern here. So for one, time moves very slowly for us, I can assure you, you are with your father in your night time journeying even if, at present you cant recall it.

When you leave this plane of existence you will find your soul will carry no pain at all. For it is only an illusion, what we at present feel, this feeling of separation is all just how our reality is designed,its not real where your father is right now is the real world.

And he will be waiting for your return home, just as when your time is over here, you will then wait for your daughter to come home.When in full consciousness non of this really matters. We are all one, one family from the same maker,so when your in your true self back home in the higher planes, you will know there is nothing to fear or worry about all is guided by the Devinne.

I suggest watching the film 'What Dreams May Come'.

Has a very interesting message regarding loved ones and reincarnation. 

You will absoloutely love it!

However, you'll enjoy it more if you buy the DVD and watch it in the comfort of your living room or bedroom.  

It's a really great film - worth it's place in a good DVD collection.

Yah... although I worry that you might get a half-decent copy and therefore won't be able to truely appreciate the mind-blowing visual effects in this film.

I've got it on DVD, thanks.
