In addition to July 18th, 2018 being Nelson Mandela's 100th year since his birth, it is also that for Leonard Weber, a kind soul who crossed during the winter. I first learned of that when in a thrift store in Great Barrington MA and mentioned to a man that Leonard Weber loved opera (and could sing it) when the fellow and I were both looking at records. He said, "Oh is that the Leonard who passed away?"
As sad as that was to hear, I later felt it was a gentle message from Leonard or my angels to let me know my friend was now singing with a heavenly choir.
