We stayed up late and tried to sleep in this morning but...That dang phone kept ringing. Finally after about the third call realized that I was going to have to get up and answer.
It was Aubrey and she was crying. I asked her if she was OK...and when she told me she was crying because of a dream I prodded her to tell me about it.
She couldn't remember all the details but she remembered that something had happened and my whole family was there. She said we were all upset and sad about something. We were all sitting together talking and she heard someone coming, when she looked up my mom and dad (her grandparents) were coming through the gate.
My mom passed away in 1987 when Aubrey was only 2, she doesn't remember her my dad passed away in 2003 and Aubrey has always missed him so very much.
She said in her dream she knew they had passed away.
She said grandma sat down next to her, placed a hand on each cheek and kissed her softly on the forehead. She said when she thinks about it now that she's awake she can still feel the warmth and comfort that the kiss and gentle touch gave her. She said Grandpa was so happy and that she had never seen him that happy before.
She told me that she woke up missing them so much and she could understand how she could miss grandpa but she doesn't remember her grandma...how could she miss her so?
I believe that they are always near and when we need them they come to us and give comfort. Aubrey has been feeling a bit homesick and I think they came to her to let her know that she will NEVER be alone. She can't quit crying but they are good tears. She has a warm and loving feeling that has come over her. She said it was so strong that it's overwhelming.
I say WOW!! What a great way to start the New Year!! I believe it was a blessing for my sweet Aubrey!
I couldn't help myself, I had to jump right on here and post something about her experience. It was so heartwarming to know that my mom (the most wonderful, kindhearted, loving person I ever knew) is still watching over my family!!
Have a beautiful New Year!!
Remember to...
