Text messages from the grave.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Jaime T. Licauco
READER Julie Hernandez (not her real name) wants to know why she, her husband and the wife of a newly departed friend have been receiving text messages from the cell phone of the dead husband, who we shall call George.
"Is this common? Why doesn't George clarify his vague messages to his wife via a clear dream? Is there a way we can communicate with him?" she asks.
Here's a summary of the extraordinary story Julie told us:
George, a computer and information technology freak, died in a motorcycle accident last Dec. 25, exactly 24 hours after being brought to a hospital. Before he was pronounced dead, his wife received a Christmas greeting from his cell phone at 12:24 p.m. of Dec. 24.
At 12:15 a.m., a few days after his burial, George's wife, Karen, received the following text message from her husband's cell phone: "In death, the relationship we have in this world is not abolished, rather it is for the first time completed."
