Great story. Really well told. Feeling the thoughts of others without being being claireaudient, which I am not, takes a trust in oneself and intuition that it seems you have developed. I have no doubt that Brock's soul is sending you messages that you are receiving. I do use a legit psychic medium from time to time over the past 13 years when I feel the need for actual back and forth conversation with dearly departed or others and those experiences have been profound and life changing.
