Cami sent me a message from the bridge

[Cami]

I had yet another "miracle" happen this weekend and Cami played a part in it.
I am not a religious person. I don't attend church but I feel as if I have my own personal relationship with God. I pray and I pray a lot when it comes to my pets.

When Cami was so very sick back in Jan. of 2010 and in the ICU... I remember sitting in my car on my way home from visiting her in the hospital. My tears were coming so furiously that I could only sit in the parking lot unable to drive until I calmed myself down. While sobbing, cursing and pounding my hands on the steering wheel I said out loud....
"God if you let her get well enough to come home I will go to church".
I had no idea where that came from but I said it.

My prayers were answered and Cami did come home (only to end up back in ICU) but we got an additional 6 weeks with her.

That promise I made about going to church has weighed heavily on me for over two years now. I know some people say you should not or it isn't "required" to make "deals" however in times of desperation I think we all do things without realizing what we are doing. The fact that I made a promise and my prayer had been answered has left me feeling less than a "good" person having not kept up my end of the "bargain".

So.....something happened last month the day before Cami's birthday and I knew THEN as soon as all the moving parts came into play that I was being given a sign that I couldn't ignore. *Some* BW members will know what I am talking about re: painting.
I made plans with a good friend to attend a church service with her and did so yesterday.

Cami continues to work her magic on me. The story continues....

A good month ago I ran into a lady I have known for nearly 20 years. We lost touch during the summer of 2010 (after losing Cami) due to my hard drive dying. I lost all of my contact info (e-mail, etc...) as well as ALL of my pictures of Cami (& videos). Needless to say I was beyond devastated. I've tracked down a nice portion of pictures from the internet where I had thankfully posted them through the years. I have had various computer companies give me quotes on trying to help me with the hard drive to the tune of $2000 and up!

So this woman and I are reconnecting and she asks about Cami. While tears fill up my eyes I explain to her what happened (and told her about why I lost contact with her due to my computer issues). We part ways but I am thankful for our chance meeting and we exchange our contact info again.

YESTERDAY......while in church......my phone on vibrate.... starts scooting around in my coat pocket. I don't recognize the number but get alerted that I have a voice mail. After services were over (which started with the pastor telling a story about a DOG getting hit by a car and being taken to the same place Cami was in ICU) the pup was fine BTW!!
I check my message.

The woman I had reconnected with has a son. It was him calling me. He specializes in data recovery and he wants to "take a gander" at my hard drive (which I saved) and he wants to try and recover Cami's pictures and videos.

How completely amazing that this happened at all minus the fact that I was in church because of a promise I had made involving Cami.
I am just pretty much flabbergasted but in a good way.

Cami,
I will never forget you and not a second goes by that I don't think of you.... it sure is nice to know that you continue to watch over me. Keep sending these amazing signals from the bridge Cam-poo!!

That is just amazing ,I am here with tears in my eyes ,im both happy and sad at the same time ( if thats possible). I really hope that your friends son manages to recover the data for you. if so you will have to post some of them for us so we can all join in on the celebration.
Sending lots data retrieving <<<<vibes>>>> your way. Good luck !!!!!!.

[Madea]

Amazing. I hope the son can find your pictures for you.

Things always happen for a reason, at that time, that place, when it's supposed to. So with that given, your data retreival I'm sure will find all that Cami is within that drive. It will be successful, or this event just wouldn't have happened. Time is never wasted - so this time won't be either. Here's positive vibes that Cami will come out in so many ways in this drive and the future!

I would definately say a sign from Cami. I sure hope this guy can get all your pics and videos of Cami.

Happy story! Keep us posted on the drive recovery.
