Oasis in the Sand
The gentle shimmer in the breeze,
It looks like an oasis in the sand.
It is a glimpse that life lives on,
And is closer than you think.
They are only a thought away,
An image in your mind,
A feeling in your heart,
A feeling so close you can almost touch it.
But are you kidding yourself?
Is it wishful thinking, or contact from beyond?
I leave that up to you
I know what I see and feel,
I know what is real.
They are here amongst us;
Their love lives on forever.
We are never alone;
Love and spirit endures.
All it takes is for you to believe,
And they will do the rest.

Childhood
Encounters
with Spirit
My life has been unusual and often very challenging, but I wouldnt change a thing. I feel that I am a truly blessed and privileged human being to have been allowed to see and feel the experiences I will share with you in this book. Through my gift of mediumship, I have met many wonderful people, both living and in the realm of spirit.
I was born in Sydney, Australia, in September 1963 to my loving parents, Robin and Leonie Gee. My only sibling is my darling brother, Michael, who arrived in 1968. Our parents have always been very hard-working people and have done all they can to provide a positive life for us. Both Michael and I were christened Catholic and had an open and not overly religious upbringing.
When I was three, my family moved into our newly built home in the suburb of Lalor Park, in the west of Sydney. There, my health took a turn for the worse. I suffered bronchial pneumonia and was admitted to hospital. My family had to travel the long distance into the city to visit me in the Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children at Camperdown. It was during my time there that I believe I had my first encounter with the spirit world.
I remember waking up in the ward coughing uncontrollably one night and seeing all of the other sick children lying in their beds. I felt so alone and frightened, and all I wanted was to be back at home with my parents, tucked snugly in my bed. It seemed as if I lay there in the bed coughing for an eternity. I waited for a nurse to come, but none came. Then a beautiful lady dressed in white suddenly appeared before me, comforting me and assuring me that I would be safe. Perhaps this vision was a dream or just wishful thinking, but at the time I felt so calm and surrounded by love that I settled down and went back to sleep. This vision has stuck with me for all of my life and I would like to think that the lady was one of my guardian angels.
After spending three or four weeks in hospital, I was allowed to go home. I cant tell you how happy I was to be back in my parents arms. From that time on, my mum wanted to wrap me up in cotton wool so I wouldnt get sick again.
At the age of five, I started at the local infants school, and unfortunately this was the beginning of a very harrowing time for me. From almost my first day there, a group of girls bullied me on the way home. I became terrified of going to school and I told my parents how frightened I was of this gang of girls. My parents simply said that I should stand up for myself and hit them back. This was an even more frightening option, as there was one of me and five of them. And anyway, I have never agreed with using violence against violence. (Back in those days, parents didnt intervene in school bullying like they thankfully do now.)
The bullying followed me right through to primary school and affected my health and confidence greatly. I became a very timid and nervous child, a loner. I preferred to be by myself as I felt that I would never fit in with any of the groups of kids at school.
I have always been very artistic, so I spent a lot of my spare time painting and drawing at home. On weekends, our family would often go to my paternal grandparents place in Bankstown and I would spend hours with my gorgeous grandfather, a great man in my eyes who was in the navy during the Second World War. My memories of my grandfather are always of joy. My poppa was a very artistic man and he was able to paint or draw on anything he could get his hands on. When we would go to visit, he would surprise me with a new work of art painted on a leaf, piece of bark or canvas.
It was Poppa who gave me my appreciation of art. He would spend many hours sitting with me, telling me stories about his life and teaching me how to draw and paint; he was also very gifted with calligraphy and taught me how to do hand lettering. My memories are of him always being surrounded by big, blue clouds of smoke but at the time I never thought much about the damage his heavy smoking was doing to him.
