So you could imagine the wave of emotions that were going through me after Amber had told me that. I was excited that maybe she would finally realize that I wasn't as crazy as I seemed to be, especially when she told me that she actually had felt her brother with her that night. And that was enough validation for me. I told her about hearing the number thirteen over and over again and hearing the words mother and safe. Once again I was shocked when she told me that her mom's birthday was in fact on the thirteenth and her sisters were on the thirty-first. Crazy. I put together that maybe Eli was worried about her being safe being she had moved to a different place recently and he didn't realize she had. I still didn't know where the flames came into play. She and I talked a while longer then said our goodbyes and hung up.
For weeks Eli stood in the corner of my room not saying a word but just looking at me. His face remained the same, sad and alone. Then one night out of the blue I heard him say "jewelry." Again it was over and over again so the next day I called Amber to ask her about it. If anyone had just bought jewelry or was planning on buying jewelry in the near future. Wow, was I not expecting the response that I got. She had just bought a necklace that day for Eli's daughter. Apparently, she had gone to a store and her son had rushed her along. When they were leaving she said that something pulled her back inside the store and straight to the jewelry section where she hadn't even looked earlier and to a necklace that she purchased for her niece. I couldn't believe it. Just then I felt the need to tell her to relay to her niece that it was from her daddy in heaven too. I hesitated to say it but I just had to. She agreed that she was thinking the same thing. I came to the conclusion that since Eli wasn't very good at telling the people close to him his feelings towards them when he was alive that that was exactly what he was doing now. This must be his unfinished business. To make right with everyone he hurt while he was alive. Maybe then he wouldn't be spending eternity in his own flaming hell with so many regrets, hence why I saw the flames as well...
