Jackie Smith Erlandson's Validation Story with her son Patrick through Mitch Ott

On November 26th during the Gallery Reading, Mitch Ott mentioned that the person he was wanting to speak with lived on a farm and was chased by a duck or a geese.  I do live on a farm, and I was chased by a duck. My office looks out at our pond, and I have a swing next to it that I sit on. These white peacock butterflies are always next to the pond. My son used to quote a favorite movie to me with a line about peacocks. I had my son’s ashes made into a diamond ring that I wear. My little granddaughter was only one when my son died but he loved her immensely and he was her Godfather. She can’t possibly remember him, but she talks about him all the time and has recently begun talking to me about Uncle Patrick in heaven. His best friend (a "J" name) is getting married in two weeks and they used to meet up at Wawa to talk about their calls. (My son was a police officer).

My son was exposed to a horrible trauma at work when a fellow officer and friend was shot (and later died) by a criminal and my son found his friend. My son took his own life suddenly not long after his friend died, and I’ve been struggling greatly with that. To hear Mitch say it was an accident and that I gave him a good life was so meaningful to me. My son had been drinking that night and I always hoped that maybe he didn’t realize fully what he was doing. I have been unable to accept that he could have planned to do this. I may have more validations, but I can’t remember everything he said right now from being so emotional. Thank you so much! I would love to get a full reading from Mitch sometime.

Oh, and I have sciatica in my leg and was so overcome with emotion I forgot!

One other funny thing is right before my son, Mitch was talking about a “Melissa” or “Mel."  Mel is the sister of my son’s friend (another “J” name) who was killed and is marrying John in two weeks which is the celebration Mitch was referring to. There was a lot of connections for me last night.

I also actually had a reaction to one of my medications last night. Mitch was amazing which I’m sure is not easy with all that was going on. I’ve been very depressed about the holidays and upcoming wedding that my son will miss, and this reading really helped me so much.

With love, Jackie Smith Erlandson
