The Arizona

 

Last Friday night, my 18 year old daughter and I decided to spend a girls night in. We had made dinner and were poised to watch Face Off, one of our favorite shows on the SyFy Channel. It is a competition/elimination series showcasing makeup effects artists in which 3 judges pick the winner of each week’s makeup challenge. This show’s challenge had to incorporate each artist’s childhood fears and clowns. The competitors talked about their childhood fears, from spiders to tornadoes. There was one guy (I call him “Ugly Hat Guy”, because he wears a ridiculous hat every episode) who was afraid of murky dark waters. All of a sudden my daughter casually mentions that she’s had the same fear since she was little…well, this is the first I heard about it! I looked at her and asked her how come she never said that to me? She replied “I never told you that, Mom?”…. You learn something new about your teenager everyday I guess! We then started talking about past lives and that although I have had readings where information about past lives has come through for the purpose of addressing a present day issue or phobia, that is not information that I get in readings. And mind you, I’m not in the habit of reading for my daughter at all. Did I mention she was 18?  I then go on to share with her that I believed some irrational fears or phobias may be linked to traumas in past lives.  All of a sudden I started getting flashes of a battleship blowing up and service men’s bodies in the water…. What?!! It was like a movie reel playing in front of me. Then I got a name, William….or Williamson…then I told her “I see the letter D too! And I get that he was from California.” She looked at me amused and said “You know Mom, I AM born on Pearl Harbor Day!” Holy crap, she is! I thought to myself, how could I have forgotten about that! Well, she then went about the business of looking up this person on the internet on the casualty list for Pearl Harbor and she found a WILLIAM DEAN WILLIAMSON, RM2C from CALIFORNIA!! We also discovered that he served in the Battleship The Arizona.  We were both in shock!!! We looked up what his rank was and he was a Radio Man Second Class. This job entailed monitoring communications between ships, some of which was classified and training in computer technology was required. In fact, it was the first IT position in the military created in 1921. My daughter is studying COMPUTER PROGRAMMING and digital art for video game design!! Not a common field that girls generally go into. She took a computer programming class in her senior year and she was the only GIRL in the class and just happened to know more than the teacher. He actually told her that!

I have done further research on Ancestry.com and Obituaries.com but no further information is available on this man, who I now believe is my daughter reincarnated. Below is the link to what we have found his name. I will continue my research on him and will post any new discoveries. Both my daughter and I are still scratching our heads about what I received that night and are a little freaked out about it! But I believe the information to be quite extraordinary!
