Thank you all for your insight!
Holobon - Honestly, I never have lost this before. It has been out of reach, but I've always known it's exactly location. (Such as a person borrowing it and not returning it right away.)
Deanie - You are right! I'm currently 28. This pocketknife is a big symbol of my father and his trust in me and his love for me. He has a matching knife that he carries around daily. I think it is a connection that we share. I carry mine to think of him, and he carries his to think of me. To have lost it for so long was quite startling to me. But I never REALLY believed it to be gone and I never told him it was missing because he would have been very upset.
The part I'm still working on is the message of losing it during my reiki attunement/cleanse?
Thank you all for your insight. I always look forward to the messages and lessons on this board!
