" No! Not John Edwards, the questionable politician! John Edward. John Edward. No &amp;quot;S&amp;quot; John Edward. John Edward, the psychic medium. You may be familiar with him from TV. He had a show called Crossing Over. He is likable and expansive as he brings forth messages to audience members from loved ones who have died. Well, it was my friend Jill&amp;#039;s birthday, and she invited a bunch of us to go see John Edward live. As we drove in, we saw carloads of girlfriends, just like us; each secretly, psychically competing for John Edward to pick their dead loved one&amp;#039;s message to reveal. Jill and I had already laughed about it; about sitting together and having John Edward look our way and say &amp;quot;Does anyone know a Bob?&amp;quot; We&amp;#039;d both wrestle for the microphone and say &amp;quot;Me! Me! Me!&amp;quot; because both of our beloved dead Dads were Bobs. Funny Bobs who were friends. Alas, none of our loved ones spoke to us that night, though there were hints\u2013\u2013A Rose was mentioned, an Estelle. John Edward mentioned he saw a Superman logo and I was wearing a Superman shirt!! We cried with each wrenching story told, and each connection made; with each participant&amp;#039;s heavenly glee, at their sign from the other side.  I figured out my message on the way home. Dad was scolding me for wearing a Superman shirt to the show.  &amp;quot;Look at Marcia,&amp;quot; he was saying. &amp;quot;Why can&amp;#039;t you dress like her? Look at Jill!Now there&amp;#039;s a stylish woman!&amp;quot;   I miss Dad.  D.G. Fulford is the author of Designated Daughter: The Bonus Years with Mom, written with her mother Phyllis Greene.
