It sounds like he surely did, perhaps something he said touched your heart in such a way to help you want a new and better life.

A couple of years ago I went to a pow wow. I am not Native Canadian but I had heard that these were open for all and a very spiritual ceremony and so I went.

I met a woman there who was called The Spirit Woman, who "happened" to be next to me as we watched the dancers and she explained what each one meant as they danced in the steps of their ancestors and she explained the animals in the totem...the wolf, the turtle, the bear. the eagle and what each one meant. When there was a break, we talked. I told her of my son and his addiction; she said she "knew". She told me of her husband who was a great artist and who had been murdered in Toronto where he had been attending an art show. There was sadness in her eyes but peace in her heart as she told me.

Before I left, she gave me a carving of a wolf, and told me that the wolf was strong alone but always returned to the pack to renew its energy and that my son was a wolf and would one day return.

I don't know why we met or why we connected in such a spiritual way but I know that I shall never forget her and that her words stay with me today and especially the peaceful feeling that I had when she spoke to me.

Hugs
