I cant belive its been 9 years - Deborah
I cant believe its been 9 years since I got that call from my best friend Tanya on Sept. 11, 2001 at 6:56am LA time
"Girl wake-up, our country is under attack!"
Its been 9 years since so many things have happened to our country, our world, and our mother nature.
So many things have transpired I'm sure in all of our lives that have truly forced us to learn to be grateful.
This year I want to commemorate Sept. 11 by simply being grateful.
I am most grateful for having Tanya in my life - my best friend, my soul sister for over 30 years.
She is my real life hero who has overcome so much in her life with humility, grace and a fantastic sense of humor! What better way to show her my gratitude than to use my voice and our We Want It All TV platform to remember and honor FF Sergio Gabriel Villanueva and the life and profound love he shared with her.
Here is a piece Tanya wrote, which was published in South Florida Miracle Journeys back in 2003. The co-star of this wonderful "profound" piece is Elaine Ferretti, a truly gifted astrologer and channeler who will soon join the We Want It All TV family with a weekly inspirational column.
Please take a moment today and be grateful.
Profound Love,
Profound Loss, &
Profound Healing...
by Tanya Villanueva
(published as Love Transcends Death in the Nov/Dec 2003 issue of South Florida’s Miracle Journeys)
October 8, 2001
I took a deep breath and dialed the Miami number from the phone in my bedroom, doing my best to sound calm through my increasing anxiety.
“Hello?” “Hi Elaine, this is Tanya- I’m calling for my tarot reading...”
“Hi Tanya, I’ve been waiting for your call...ok, let’s begin. What I’d like to do first is your numerology...when is your birthday?”
“June 19, 1968...”
The warmth of her voice, laced with a New Jersey accent, soothed me. My stomach in knots, I reminded myself to breathe while I heard her muttering quiet calculations.
“OK, what I see here is that you are a 13-4...look at that, I’m the same thing. That’s the number of karma, and what this means for you right now is that you are being stripped of everything you know, so that you can come into your own power...”
I tried not to react.
“Uh-huh...”
“OK, now I’m going to do your cards...”
I heard her shuffle the deck, my heartbeat accelerating with each subtle rasp of the cards. She tapped the deck on the table, and started the spread.
“Oh dear, you just lost someone...its right here in your cards- your soul mate...”
That was the moment. That was the moment when I finally gave in, surrendering to the repressed wail of sorrow that would end the four-week vigil for the safe return of my love and best friend, my fiancé Sergio. I wanted to die. I wanted to turn back the hands of time to the morning of September 11th and be with him so that the Tower could claim us both. My heart shattered and my body becoming too much to bear, I desperately tried to escape myself through the river of tears that gushed forth from me.
Her gentle voice brought me back to the reading.
“Its OK, I’m going to channel him for you...”
Though Sergio and I both grew up in Flushing, Queens and met in the late 80’s at Club 10-18 in New York City, it wasn’t until June 30,1994 that we made our soul connection, when we saw each other again while I was living in Miami. He was on vacation from his job as a New York City cop, and a night out drinking with friends would lead to a kiss that changed both of our lives, as the undeniable chemistry between us sparked me enough to pursue him with a full heart that culminated in my move back to New York to be with him less than a year later.
He would put toothpaste on my toothbrush and tuck me into a cocoon of quilts whenever I was sick with the flu. I would leave him love notes in the refrigerator, surprise him with decorated Christmas trees, and make him laugh dancing a playful ballet across the wooden floors of our home. We worked through the challenges of learning to live together, our commitment to each other deepening in direct proportion to our unwavering love for one another. Wrapping ourselves in a blanket of effortless intimacy and tender affection, we snuggled in joy and laughter, called each other “Big Daddy”, “Nana”, and “Bunny”, and reveled in our gratitude for having found one another.
Sergio was always there for me, an oasis of comfort through my most difficult times. In 1995, after a long search for my biological mother’s family that brought us to Germany, he held me up when I learned the painful truth of her suicide. The day after our return home, October 14th, he told me he loved me for the first time. Three years later to the day, he gently rocked me through the grief of losing my dad as he surrendered to his long battle with strokes.
“It’s you and me, babe” was Sergio’s mantra for us, and together we planned for and realized our dream of opening our gift shop, Inner Peace, in 1999. With the success of the store and marriage and children on our horizon, he left his position as a narcotics detective to become a firefighter in 2000, a job that would give him more free time- a job that we thought was safer.
Shortly after, we realized another important dream when we bought our first home in the same neighborhood. With a solid foundation in place, Sergio proposed to me on the seven-year anniversary of our first kiss, June 30, 2001. We decided on an August 1st wedding the following year, followed by a Mediterranean cruise for our honeymoon on which we would conceive a boy and girl set of twins. We slow-danced in our new home to our wedding song, Natalie Cole’s version of The Very Thought of You, and found vows perfect for us on the internet. We searched for the most beautiful hall to have our ceremony and reception, and decided on the Fountainhead in New Rochelle. We had an appointment there on September 13th to put down our initial deposit. We were on top of the world.
As much as Sergio was the center of my universe, he was also a devoted son, protective big brother, faithful friend, and doting uncle and godfather. If the absolute truth is that we are here on this earth to love and be loved, then Sergio lived his life with awe-inspiring integrity. It was in his nature to help others, and he never hesitated to reach out to those in need- the ultimate example of this was when he answered the call from his Brooklyn firehouse, Ladder 132, on September 11th. He and the five other men with him were already off duty.
As the world witnessed the horror of the attacks and the chaos in the weeks of the aftermath, I held on to hope for Sergio’s homecoming. My denial initially served to protect me but as more time passed, it became detrimental. I heard about a Tarot card reader and astrologer named Elaine during a phone conversation with my friend Glen in Toronto. He had met her while living in Miami and told me that his notes from the years of various readings by her were pretty accurate. At my wit’s end, and with no news of a recovery, I asked for her number to schedule a phone reading. We had no idea about Elaine’s gift as a medium.
I waited breathlessly, tears streaming down my face as she rang Tibetan bells and went into prayer.
“I’m going to ask God to come into this reading, surrounding us with his golden light of love, of protection, of direction, of healing, of wisdom, of understanding, of knowledge...let us always remember that we are God’s children, and that we are a part of God, and that part of God that we are is love, and love is eternal and never dies...let us know that we can live from that space for eternity, always, now, every day...and even though we don’t always understand God’s way, let us surrender our confusion and ask God to bring us clarity...today I ask that God make me a messenger and give me the words to comfort your soul, to heal your heart with love and understanding...in this I trust unconditionally...”
As she continued to ring the bells, I heard a whisper of static, hypnotizing in rhythm with each message she was delivering.
“Oh... my God...if only you could see what he is showing me...its so...so beautiful...” I could hear the emotion in her voice.
“He’s showing me that he went from the glow of a fire, almost like a sunset, and that he went straight into the light...its so beautiful...he wants you to know that he did not suffer and that he wasn’t scared... he went straight to the light... the biggest feeling though, that I’m getting from him, is that he’s so proud...”
I wept with relief that he wasn’t in pain, sobbed with the acceptance that he wasn’t coming home.
“He’s telling me that Jimmy, Matthew, and Raymond will be helping you...”
A few days after the attack, the Fire Department suggested that firefighters from each firehouse that lost men should be assigned as liaisons to the grieving families. One of Sergio’s best friends, Jimmy, was a firefighter from a different house and immediately called Ladder 132 to volunteer as our liaison. Besides him, Matthew and Raymond were assigned to us.
“Who is Tony? He’s showing me the peace sign and he’s saying with urgency, ‘Peace, peace, Tony...’”
I immediately thought of one of his closest friends. I would later find out that Tony was getting so caught up in his rage that he came close to taking out his gun to avenge Sergio’s death. He was stopped by a dream he had with Sergio in front of his bed, giving him the peace sign.
“He’s saying something with a B, something like ‘Buddy’...” I said, “Bunny?” “Yes, Bunny...”
I knew, in my soul, that Sergio was coming through.
“He’s showing me the American flag...”
I instantly made the connection to Sergio’s birthday. “Sergio was born on the 4th of July...”
“Born on the 4th of July... my God, that’s so profound... What he’s showing me though, is that the American flag is draped over a casket...God gave him the gift of dying a hero...”
Since we had no recovery, I asked if the casket meant that we would find him. She said that Sergio said we probably wouldn’t. We never did.
********************
After Elaine saw that he was a firefighter who gave his life on September 11th, she told me she had been praying to God to show her the way to help. Knowing that she delivered Sergio’s meaningful messages with extraordinary compassion, I asked that she channel him for his mom, brother, and sister. That week, she spent hours with us on the phone, validating Sergio’s presence with personal and profound messages that helped us begin the painful acceptance of his sacrifice.
In later readings, Elaine would tell me that Sergio had shown me dancing ballet, and that he was wrapping me in blankets to comfort me. When I called on October 14th with the added sorrow of my father’s death anniversary, Sergio showed her our wedding, insisting that I was to be his wife on that day. It was so appropriate that he chose that day because I had just officially changed my name to his the day before. But I had an impulse to make yet another connection, which led me to our boxes of cards and letters, and I came across the card that I had given him just before he told me he loved me for the first time. It was dated October 14th. Since he proposed to me on the anniversary of our first kiss, it made sense he that wanted to have our “spiritual wedding” on the anniversary of the first time he professed his love for me.
In his last birthday card to me, Sergio wrote:
My true Soulmate,
I’ve loved you in a past life, I love you in this one, And I will love you in the next...
I love you with all my heart, Your Soulmate...
With Elaine’s amazing gift Sergio has shown me this, and I am strengthened knowing he is still with me, guiding me toward a hopeful future. And through her profound messages of love and healing, Elaine has comforted me and helped me to understand that the essence of who we are is our soul, shining through in our love that is eternal.
