Barry Gibb is 71 years old today. He is a lovely man who has known a lot of loss, being the only surviving brother in a once-large family. His sister is still alive as well.
I didn't know that his wife was THAT Linda Gray, AKA Sue Ellen Ewing.
Barry once saw the ghost of his brother Robin. Robin also told him in a dream that he needed to start making music again.
Linda saw Andy's ghost.
It is my belief that this close family will always be together.
I know that a lot of people think that ghosts are "delusions" of a troubled mind, brought on by grief or longing.
I have seen very few ghosts, but the ones I saw were not people I was particularly close to. In fact, most of them were animals, and most of those were not animals that I had known. The second human ghost I saw was not someone I knew at all or had any connection to.
I was not "under the influence" of anything which might alter my thought processes at the time when I saw these ghosts, and I was rested enough that I wasn't prone to the hallucinations which can come with sleep deprivation. Said hallucinations always consist of animals in any case, and not animals which would be seen in the area where I live.
I generally see penguins when I'm sleep deprived, but one time I saw a bear and another time a large snake such as an anaconda or python. These animals could be astral projections, but I am willing to agree that they could also be visions brought to me by exhaustion.
I believe that not all realities or possibilities can be explained by modern science. I think it is fair to be skeptical but to paint someone as demented, delusional, or "insane" because they have experienced something that cannot be explained by modern science and which the person judging them demented, delusional, or "insane" has not experienced is short-sighted, rude, and unfair. I believe in keeping an open mind.
Happy birthday to the wonderful Barry Gibb. I am glad that his brothers are still looking after him.
