I have an Uncle Billy who passed shortly after my father. When I had an OBe I was on an A-frame swing that my husband built. My father was to my left and Uncle Billy to my right. I sat in the middle. We swang very gently and Daddy said to uncle Billy, "We sure had some good times". Uncle Billy just said "Yep", then I smilled all over with joy before coming back from the obe.
Another time, I was asleep and I had a dream about Uncle Billy and his brother (Uncle Wally) and they were in the clouds dressed in their sailor uniforms when in WWII. They were glowing faces and I knew this to mean that both were happy and a peace.
Also--- My cousin is a Billy, and our two neighbors are a Bill and Billy.
Great name!!! Lots of love in that name.
