A Visit from a Loved One

Aug 24

This past weekend I had a small accident with my foot – I accidentally dropped the top of my ottoman (which was HEAVY) on the top of my right foot and WOW was it painful. I thought I was fine until I went to bed, then the real pain kicked in. You can say that I didn’t sleep much that night, in fact I was quite a crybaby and Chad wasn’t the happiest. The most interesting thing happened to me though – I was having a lucid dream at around 6:15 am about my grandmother who recently passed away 2 and a half months ago. I’m always hearing stories about how people had a “visit” from someone who has died and I can never understand what this means, and how it can possibly feel.

Well, here I was, crying on and off all night about my foot and all of a sudden, I’m dreaming about my Omi. In my dream she was sitting in a chair across the room from me, legs crossed, sitting straight up, completely pain free and wow did she look great. My immediate instinct (in my dream) was to go over to her and hug her – so I did and all of a sudden the hug turned into this warm, real feeling hug – then I left the dream and came back to the reality of sleeping in bed. I was turned on my side in bed and you wouldn’t believe it, but I felt a hug from behind me (no it wasn’t Chad, he was on the other side). Listen, I’m completely frightened when it comes to things like this – spirits, ghosts, whatever you want to call this, but I’m telling you this was real. I was really shaken up after this and I immediately woke Chad and made him turn the light on – I didn’t see anything.

After I’ve analyzed this to the best of my ability, I now know that she was only trying to comfort me in my feeling of discomfort and not scare me. I have so much love for her for watching over me, and I’m grateful that I was able to have one more hug by such a special woman.

For those of you who have had a “visit” from a loved one, I’d love to hear your story.
