Comment on Our Lady of Tickfaw and the Hour I Almost Believed by Andrea Vignale

Britt,
Your words spoke to me as well. I have never felt very qualified to be a Pilgrim. I assumed that to be a pilgrim, you had to believe it all. Depending on the time of day, my mood and life, I have different beliefs. I want very much to believe it all, to regain the childhood faith with adult understandings. The last few years of my Grandmothers life, she talked about waking in the middle of the night and seeing a woman. She was always surprised to see her sitting at the end of her bed and even wondered how she got in. My Grandmother thought it might be her Mother who died very young. I asked her what the woman wanted and she said ” I don’t know, she doesn’t speak but does seem pleasant.” ( so grandmotherly of a line). I wondered if the woman came for her at death. The one thing I do know for certain is from that day forward, when I visited, I always prayed that the woman would not visit my room too.

I have been searching for information on this place for YEARS. I moved to Albany 3 yrs ago but have never asked any of my neighbors about “the sacred ground in tickfaw” that i so badly wanted to visit. When I was little my cousin who was very troubled and tried her hardest to hand her life over to God, had visited this place and I have seen the pictures she took and I must admit that those pictures are the reason I am so moved by this place. And there is even more mystery behind it for me because my cousin has since then passed away, she was the only one with the pictures and statues and stories that began my curiosity. To this day, I still do not know what happened to her pictures, or the statues she promised me when I was little that would be mine when she was gone. I plan to visit this place…not because I desire healing, but because I desire truth and just a sense of knowing. Thank you Brittney for sharing this!

I am from lousisana, and i must say i went to tickfaw, i was witness to my father falling to his knees and blubbering like a baby. He had a vision. He couldnot reveal the message, but, did let the family know that he would be the next to join his mother iin heaven. That was 1990. He died December 25, 1991.

I am not a young women. I will be 76 on my birthday next month, but this book could still be my book – it is my book! I just wish I had written it when I was thirty, so that you might have had an easier time.
