Dear JMG, My stepdaughter is having her first baby this October and is coming home to live with us as the dead-beat Dad wants nothing to do with the baby he has engendered.
Because of a number of tragedies in my childhood involving a niece given up for adoption at the age of 6 months by my teenaged big sister and that sister's suicide in our house a couple of year later, I have never been keen on babies. I was only 10 when she died.
I was surgically sterilized as a young woman because I was so afraid of getting pregnant and I have never wanted a baby.
A couple of months ago, my husband and I were in the local town, sitting in a little park eating a picnic. I said, "Next year, we can bring our kid here to play on the swings."
A moment later, a very young small puppy came racing up the hill toward us. The puppy was all whiskers and enthusiasm. I saw the puppy very clearly and it was acting like a normal puppy. It shot under our picnic table and I looked under the table because I wanted to pet the puppy. It was not there. It had vanished.
I have seen visions but usually in dreams or on waking but this puppy happened in broad daylight. Since then, I have started to think the baby might be like a puppy, that it might be fun and nice.

Do you have any thoughts on the matter?
