“It’s like something in a fictitious novel or something you’d see on TV,” Dahl said.
Though our loved ones may leave us when they die, their love never dies. It will always be there.
Mitchell took about a half hour to get the paper out of the bottle, but when he opened it, some of the words were mostly legible.
He knew it was written by a child.
Mitchell said, “I was shocked and excited. You hear about messages in a bottle, but I never thought I’d find one in the canal over here.”
Mitchell and others attempted to reconstruct the message, but they could only tell that the child was from Oxford and that it came from a class project in 1989.
They were unable to contact any Oxford schools, so they posted the message on social media in the hope that it would be identified.
Dahl was at church when he received the call regarding the social media post. He doesn’t usually answer his phone at church, but he was on call at the hospital.
“It was like a voice from Heaven,” said Mitchell. “He’s watching over his parents. I think that was a sign he’s watching over them.”
Dahl was also convinced that this was a supernatural intervention.
His son wrote that message during a sixth-grade school field trip in 1989 when he was only 11 years old.
“It’s like something in a fictitious novel or something you’d see on TV,” Dahl said.
“To see Brian’s handwriting from when he was 11 or 12 years old — it was miraculous. It was a gift from on high. We’re a praying family and this is a part of God’s providence.”
