Miracle

Finding the lost muumuu was not less than a miracle for the family, it was just like regaining the long lost heritage. Shannon said, “She [Florence Kamei] passed five years ago, so I have no idea where [the muumuu] had been between that point and now.” And luckily no one bought it before her.“It’s magic,” Shannon laughed. “I think it’s just her way of telling me I’m on the right track.” To her, the dress illustrates that her great-grandmother is guiding her life.

Sharing The News

When she came back home she thought she must share this story with her followers as many of them knew her great grandmother. She excitedly posted her photo wearing the muumuu and described her visit to the church. The response that she got was insane and enormous. People who knew Kamei were overwhelmed by the discovery.

Live On T.V

After she put the news on her social media channels, she received a lot of invitations for the interviews. Everyone wanted to know about her experience. She also went live on many news channels reiterating her experience to the rest of the world too. It was evident that she was not the only one who believed that her great grandmother had found a way to reach out to her after her death.

The Heritage

Being a  believer in recycling the clothes she wanted to pass the dress to her 3-year-old daughter. She had a firm belief that whatever happens, happens for good. And she considered the muumuu as a positive sign that Florence was watching her from heaven and showering her blessing upon the family and her business as well.

Blessing From Heaven

“I’ve come full circle,” Shannon said, “and feel like [Kamei] is smiling down on me…or at least giggling.” She felt a new zeal at work and the inspiration is very well reflected in her recent works. She had also put the photo in her office which continuously reminded her of the happy times she had spent with her.

Limelight

Shannon’s shop had come in the limelight since the news and praises had started to pour in, but she had never let the praise got heavy on her head. She was working day and night making her great-grandmother’s legacy to reach out to millions. Sometimes she took her daughter to the shop too, in the hope that one day she would develop the same enthusiasm as her mother.
