Writer’s note, I never met Melissa before this interview but long knew of her gift. A week before the interview, I told three gal pals that my son thought my dearly departed Dad would come through. I was told not to expect that. Well, the very least it had me thinking about Dad leading up to my interview with tempered expectations. In the middle of my interview, she asked if she could do a read on me because something was coming through. Of course I said yes. Who is JJ? That’s me “JoJo” my dad‘s pet nickname for me. She said here was a very strong presence and he knew that I missed him. We were very close and he was proud of me. Then she said he wants to say when you were very young you’d sit on his lap and read the encyclopedia Britannica . That hadn’t been discussed more than 50 years, I’ll leave you with a line from the monkeys 1966 title song. ”I’m a believer. The truth is I always was.
