The Good Ol' Days

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon...

'Twas a quiet mid October evening in 2004 when I first performed one of the most important rituals all fathers must under go as they raise their children. The Pulling of the Finger. I recall the events of that magical night...

After we had discussed the goings on of Day care that day, (apparently the oldest got into trouble for pulling his pants down and pointing his bum at a group of girls), I decided it was time. There was just some primeval 6th sense inside of me that told me "now is the time".

So I pointed my finger at him and said the words that will stay with me forever;

"Son, pull my finger".

Thankfully I was able to perform with perfect timing and the look on his face was priceless. He didn't know wether to look amazed or laugh or both. In fact he took my hand to make sure I didn’t have anything in it and when he couldn't find anything he said;

"Dad your finger is magic! Can you do it again?"

"Sorry boy. The magic has worn off for now. Maybe in the morning".

Sadly like so many childhood mysteries, the magic faded and they discovered the secret behind this mysterious event. But today brigs a new joy. As I'm trucking the boys and their mates to soccer training I hear from the back seat, "Hey pull my finger and see what happens."

From Father to Son it passes and so it will continue throughout the ages like a farmer handing over his land to his oldest son or a Mason sharing the secret handshake and the names of the next 4 American Presidents.

I am a very happy woman with the help of Lord Krish Spiritual who helped me restore my relationship with my ex husband. My name is Agnes Smith and I am from Alaska, USA. I met Lord Krish Spiritual through a testimony online and I never thought I would have my ex husband back after 4 years of separation. After my contact with his email, he told me not to worry and I would really be happy as I am now. Trusting in his words was a right decision for me. After 2 days, my ex husband called me that he wants to return back to me and live with me forever and I was very shocked. This made me believe in Lord Krish is really a very great spiritual man. Today, I am very happy to write this testimony about him and want others to testify to his power as I am currently happy in my restored marriage. Contact Lord Krish Spiritual through his email at lordkrishshrine@gmail.com to help you solve that relationship problems in your marriage.
