August 1999~dream

I had the sweetest dream of my baby Michelle and when I awoke this morning it was so vivid.. Michelle and I were out grocery shopping together, we were going up and down alot of flights of stairs and taking a lot of elevators.  Sometimes Michelle was walking on her own, other times she was in a baby stroller or in my shopping cart. We stopped to look at rulers, I told Michelle she had enough of them but then a cute one caught my eye, it was sparkling and had a cute little fuzzy animal head glued to the top with big google eyes, I said we should pick one of them out, they had different faces, they were four cents each! Michelle was about four years old in my dream. At one point a friend of mine was in the elevator with us and she said she needed all her organs transplanted. (Michelle was an organ donor.)  Later in the dream Michelle was playing with her friends. I loved this dream
as it was so long and Michelle and I were together for so long, it was PRECIOUS...

Love,

Dream 2~11/8/99
I wanted to mention a dream I had last night about Michelle and a HUGE flock of seagulls~ it was SOOOOO sensational...I dreamt I saw a HUGE flock of seagulls, I mean the largest flock of birds I have EVER seen in my life.. The flock was so large that it covered all the sky as far as I could see,,, as I looked at them in amazement my spiritual side told me that this was the flock of seagulls from 1993 and they were migrating and that Michelle had seen them in 1993 for the last time, now they were on their way elsewhere for the winter, as I looked at them in wonder it touched me DEEPLY that these were seen by Michelle.. I HAVE NO IDEA what this dream could have meant, can you help me with this?? IT touched me deeply and when I awoke which seemed seconds later I was just totally enthralled in this dream, the birds were all brown looking in their great numbers... I know they don't migrate here anyway but in my dream they did and it was fall, what year I am not sure.. But I believe it was late fall 1993 right after Michelle had died when this took place in my dream.

Love, Cindy

Dream 3~My Dream... March 24th 1999
I dreamt I was on a flight somewhere and was talking to the stewardess and telling her about Michelle.. I began to show her pictures of our children and then spoke about Michelle, somehow... in this dream, and yes I know its going to sound strange ~ I had Michelle to show her Michelle, I picked her up out of the box and proudly gave her to this lady and I remember her auburn hair glowing in the light, I was so proud of her Maria... Michelle appeared alive, and she was happy and acted JUST LIKE someone we know to be alive, she was acting like she was alive, and I said to the lady, "see, she was declared brain dead and she died and I started to count the months it had been... but I said to her she is like she is alive!"

Actually I myself was amazed as I explained to her, and I sensed she didn't believe me that Michelle really had died, but I wasn't sure... I told the lady who was a stranger to me that this was my little girl, my Michelle, I remember holding her hand up and adoring her tiny little self, she had been 9 I told her when she died but in this dream she seemed to look like a three or four year old, her hands were as small as a babies! I then noticed Michelle's eyes were brown, I told the lady that Michelle's eyes used to be green. Michelle was even able to eat.

I sat Michelle down on a chair as she had been running about and I scooped her up and sat her down, then she said to me very matter of factly and like an older person with much wisdom... "Mommy... I want you to know that I can hear everything you say... I can hear everybody always Mommy... I love you very much Mommy, I love you all very much!!! Remember that, and I know you all love me too..."

Then I proceeded to brush my teeth and had the wrong toothbrush, it was a huge gold toothed toothbrush, almost like a metal brush for cleaning but flatter and smaller, I had fumbled for what seemed hours for the right toothbrush from my purse and finally found the right one and brushed my teeth.

Afterwards we had to hurry and catch our next flight. Melissa our daughter was with me, I didn't know where we were going or even what time the flight left. I was in a big hurry. I was still VERY excited about Michelle and all that I had seen and heard from her...

We boarded this plane that was rickety in appearance, it was night, the walls of the plane were made of wafer board and it was seated like a school bus, the front of the plane was nice and elite as conventional planes usually are where the cockpit was.

My Dream page #2
March 24th 1999

We started to roll down the jetway and go up, I ran to the back of the plane to ask where we were going, the kids said different things, it was all students, Melissa was there but she herself wasn't much help to me, there was a lot of confusion on my part though the students appeared comfortable and happy.. Suddenly we started to nose dive straight down, we came to a surprising bumpy landing but nothing bad happened, we started to roll in on the runway, a student said he would ask his dad nearby, who was working with wafer board where we were going but instead the plane rolled by him and other workers and we started to ascend again. I never did find out where we were going but this was to be the second stop to take us to our destination and it was close by, a short journey..

Later I dreamt that we were near our home and there were railroad tracks next to it with a path for people to walk, I saw two men skating by through the fence and brush and trees, they scared me so I ducked, they were on the tracks, I was on the path next to the tracks.  I saw them disappear and was amazed this track and path was right next to our property as I had never seen it before.. Not too long later I saw my mother, she was walking towards me in the opposite direction and just as our eyes met and we embraced, I turned and there was a juncture in the path with a bridge above it and out came my sister and her husband Brent with their baby in a stroller, mom stopped and said nothing as we then joined them too..

Next thing I knew we all found ourselves at a large open outdoor type festival, there were stages with wooden planked floors and at one to the right was a man handing Michelle a very large cluster of purple grapes, there were so many they were falling about her and she couldn't catch them all but she did walk to the back of the stage to the center of it and sit down holding one large cluster of grapes which she fed herself, at first her mouth bulging with them and then placing them one by one in her mouth more carefully..

I was amazed at what I saw, my tiny daughter as though she were alive once again and she was but she was brain dead and I knew it in my dream...Michelle said one more thing to me in a voice of wisdom again, she said "Mommy I have some more things to tell you..." she then looked away and said, "Now as for Melissa and Mark, they will be divorced.." she then acted like she was going to say more and she said not one more word.. I was hoping she would.

March 24th 1999

I was very attentive to this and wanted to hear more and have Michelle explain more but the dream ended here..

I never thought it would take me this long to explain this dream but now that I have I am puzzled by it, it is most unusual don't you agree?

The comfort I find in it has to do with Michelle letting me know she hears us all and she loves us all very much.. Then this morning there was a email on my mail that was about a little boy whose pet was put down because it was in pain and dying and the little boy surprised the vet by saying something the vet would never forget, he said... "I know, people are born to learn how to love and pets already know this so they don't live as long..."

I would say SOME Angel children are like this too in that they have learned to love so they don't have to live as long.. I have always believed this to be true about Michelle so this dream is comforting to me more than words can say.. Love is the reason we are here isn't it ? Some of our journeys are shorter because we have completed the mission much sooner, it isn't ours to ask why but to know and believe and trust...

Dream 4
DREAMS OF MICHELLE  ~ WINTER  1997-98

I wanted to share with you the last three dreams I had of Michelle in the past month or so.. They are all so very special and sweet, just as she last wrote in her last letter to me the week before she parted. I guess even in my dreams Michelle is there  remind me that she is very much alive, having been born to eternal life on November 5th 1993... Anyway I think I had shared some of these but want to go into greater detail. These dreams I believe Michelle wants me to share in detail with you too, so here goes!

In the first dream over a month ago it is full color. It is summer out, sunny and gorgeous
day. I hear a baby crying and turn to see a small trailer parked out front by our water spigot. In the window I see a baby of maybe one year, sitting in a small plastic bath tub, on a table. I see Michelle steadying the baby repeatedly as the baby keep trying to keep it’s balance. Michelle picks up the baby and holds it in her arms like a mother and gently comes out and walks towards me, slowly and maturely, serenely. Michelle is wearing one of her favorite pink and white thin cotton summer dress with matching vest. She walks up to me as I walk towards her and we meet. I am SO surprised to see her and SO happy, I cry out, “Michelle, I have missed you since you died!!” She looks at me almost in disbelief and very puzzled, but sweetly, and she says, “Mom, I didn’t die!!”

2nd dream:
Melissa, Michelle and I are out and about in my car, as we so often were when Michelle was alive. All of a sudden my car slams into reverse, I can’t stop it!! I ask Melissa to help me stop it, she says she can’t!! I am looking “backwards” through the rear window of my car and I see that we are going to hit a dock! We are NOT going to stop!! We go over the dock and plunge into the water!! SUDDENLY my car becomes a convertible and I think it will sink BUT it floats JUST  LIKE A BOAT!! So the girls and I are floating, we are ALL FINE!! It is a beautiful day and this dream is also in color.  I look in the back seat and notice my Bible is taking on water but we are not sinking!!  That is all I remember, we all lived through this!!

3rd dream:
Our entire family is back in California as we were in 1991, we are at the same hotel and I am happy to be able to wash our clothes, (just like I was back in 1991 when we finally got a place that had laundry facilities available!!) Anyways, this dream is in full color too and all of us are running around doing things. I notice then that Michelle is asleep, all covered up, including her head on the couch.  When I see Michelle’s body a  the couch this scene is in black and white and misty looking. I walk towards Michelle and gently sit at her side. Michelle wakes up and uncovers her face, she turns to kiss me, and hug me. She tells me that she loves me and she is smiling sweetly, as she  looks at me, she is calm and very happy. That is where this dream ends.

Aren’t these dreams special blessings? I know when I think of them what they mean. They ALL represent that she is very much with me and by NO means should I ever think she isn’t! Sure it isn’t like it was when she was in the flesh but she is alive, she has survived just as we have, only she is “ON THE OTHER “SIDE!!”

In the first dream I could be the infant. or perhaps she is telling me that she is caring for infants in Heaven. I could be the infant as in Christ for I have not yet reached my completion for entrance to Heaven, another way to look at it.  BUT either way Michelle is telling me that she is NOT DEAD!!!

In the second dream I believe it means that even as I “look back” and try to change what happened with her death that I couldn’t stop the circumstances and Melissa couldn’t either!! Like Michelle is assuring us that there was NOTHING we could do!! And Michelle is also reassuring us that we made it and so did she, maybe she didn’t make it like we hoped she would on earth, in growing up and old but she made it in Heaven!! My car floating means I have conquered the grief and pain.  That as we looked back there was nothing we could do
to stop it! The water signifies spiritualness, in all three cases, first the water spigot and the baby bath filled with water, then the lake we plunged into, with my Bible getting wet, it means “saturation of God’s word” penetrating my heart, lastly the water from the washing machine to cleanse our clothes!! Always water! In the Bible they speak of “The Living Water” in John 4:10-14. It is beautiful.....“But the water that I shall l give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life...”  John 7:38 says, “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 1st John 5:8 says, “And there are three that bear witness on earth: The Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.” Revelations 22:16-18 is very interesting to me because it reminds me of something else too, the manger Michelle made the night before she went to Heaven and when I asked her what the star on her manger represented she happily and quickly said, “ The star of David!” So see how this scripture fits in with the water and the Star of David!!  vs. 16: “ I Jesus, have sent My Angel to testify to you these things in the churches, I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and morning star.” vs.17- And the Spirit and the Bride say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.” Rev. 7:117 is interesting because about a year ago I dreamt I saw Michelle in a white robe walking along the edge of a high cliff by an ocean of water, she turned and walked toward the vast water, her back towards me as I awoke from this dream. If you read these verses you can see what I mean in Revelation 7:13-17!! I simply am stunned myself as I search in the Bible and find these verses about water... I know I already told you some of these dreams but I believe you were meant to be a part of this too. To be my friend, to “find” the truths with me, that we never would have found had our loved ones not parted, do you agree?  Anyway finally the dream where Michelle is asleep, to me it means that Michelle is resting happily but she takes the time to let me know she still loves me and always will! And though I may think she is just sleeping, she very much is “Aware” of me and her love for me and mine for her!! So don’t you feel comforted by this too? To know that Michelle is letting us know in no uncertain terms that she and all the others in Heaven are very much alive in Paradise and that they love us and always will and that they are fine?!!!!! I sure think so!

We always need to remind ourselves of the light and the truth of God’s word but I also want you to be able to grieve for grieve you must!! I must!! We miss them more than words can say! But they are truly okay! They LOVE us so much!! The “signs” are there, we are always reminded!! Amen!!

In Bible study I am liking 1st John quite a bit. The nice thing is that we go into scripture from the Old Testament that translates to the new so often that I feel like we are studying all of the word quite well. I have this Lady's Bible that gives you what to read each day so that in a year you have read it all. Believe it or not as I looked to see what you are to read for November 5th, (the day Michelle parted) it is John chapter 10!! The last verse Michelle memorized was John 10:28-29!  Also Michelle's Bible had a page stuck together in her Bible and it is where John chapter 10 is contained too, too many coincidences!!!!!

Dream 5
Dear Nancy:

I like to read your articles in the newspaper and decided to write to you as I can usually figure out what my dreams mean, (when I remember them) and I think I might be able to figure my dreams out regarding my question to you, but wanted to write to get your professional opinion as this is puzzling to me...

Three years ago our youngest child, Michelle Marie, aged 9 years, was suddenly and tragically taken from us when she was hit by a car attempting to get to school. I started having dreams about Michelle shortly thereafter and since have had about ten dreams of her, they are always sweet dreams BUT she is ALWAYS much younger than 9. She was a baby in my dream a few nights ago, and at times has been a toddler, baby or maybe 5 or so years old, I am wondering WHY I didn’t dream of her being her age of 9 to begin with and why I have never dreamt of her, (to my recollection) at her age when she went to Heaven?

I also recently had a dream that is still mystifying to me where Michelle is walking away from me, towards a large body of water, (perhaps the ocean), she is wearing a white gown and her back is toward me as she walks along a very narrow ledge of a high cliffed rock, totally straight edged, as though someone had taken a knife and sliced a rock mountain in half, and along the edge near the bottom walked Michelle slowly and gracefully towards the water, it was dark out but she was lit up along the ledge where she was walking. The rock mountain may have been thousands of feet high and Michelle was walking along the ledge that might have been a hundred feet above the ground level, I was looking at her from ground about a quarter miles away. Could you maybe tell me what this dream indicates? It was beautiful and serene.

Many bereaved parents I have talked to said they are not aware of any dreams of their children, or if they are, they are usually bad dreams. I feel fortunate to have these sweet dreams where I can hold my youngest daughter such as I always did, even when she was 9 years old, she was small for her age! Interesting also that days before Michelle went to Heaven she drew me a picture and wrote something to me which I will share with you, copy enclosed.

I would like to add the most significant dream I have had of Michelle was several months ago and she was a baby in that dream with two umbilical cords, one on her belly and one on her back. Since Michelle was struck on her back by the car this dream to me represented a significant message of hope: First born to this life on earth by the typical umbilical cord in
front and THEN born to ETERNAL life, that of the umbilical cord on her back, where she was struck, (leading her to Heaven.) Would you agree here with my thoughts of what that particular dream represented?  Michelle and I were extremely close and I thank God that I loved her with all my heart all the days of her earthly life, she was a most loving, compassionate and giving child..

Dream 6
Michelle Marie Greever
August 24, 1984 ~ November 5, 1993

“Have Sweet Dreams, Mommy, I just love you so much...”

Those were the last words Michelle wrote to me days before she parted for Heaven. I would like to share the most recent sweet dreams I have had as I believe that Michelle wants me to comfort others with the comfort she has given me in my “Sweet Dreams...”

Dream #1:   It is a sunny and gorgeous day. I hear a baby crying and turn to see a small trailer parked out front by our water spigot. In the window I see a baby of maybe one year, sitting in a small plastic baby tub, on a table. I see Michelle steadying the baby repeatedly as the baby keeps trying to keep it’s balance. Michelle picks up the baby and holds it in her arms like an experienced mother and gently comes out and walks towards me, slowly, maturely and serenely. Michelle is wearing one of her favorite pink and white thin summer dresses with matching vest. She walks up to me as I walk towards her and we meet. I am SO surprised to see her and SO happy, I cry out, “Michelle, I have missed you since you died!!” She looks at me in near disbelief, very puzzled, but sweet, and says, “Mommy, I didn’t die!!”

Dream #2: Melissa, (our older daughter), Michelle and I are out and about in my car when suddenly it jerks into reverse and I can’t stop it! I ask Melissa if she can control and stop the car and she can’t either! I am looking “backwards” through the rear window of my car and I see that we are going to hit a dock by a large body of water, we are NOT going to stop! We go over the dock and plunge into the water! SUDDENLY my car becomes a boat and floats. So the girls and I are floating, we are ALL FINE! It is a beautiful day and this dream is also in color like the first. I look in the back seat and notice my Bible is taking on water but we are not sinking! We all survived this!

Heart to Heart Hope & Healing   Spring  1998
Dreams of Michelle continued.
Dream #3: Our entire family is vacationing in California where we were in 1991, same hotel and I am happy to be back at the place with the clothes washer, (just like I was back in 1991 when we finally got a place that had laundry facilities available.) Anyway, in this dream which is also in full color all of us are running around and doing things, keeping busy. Michelle was always the busiest one in our family so in my dream I thought it odd that Michelle was fast asleep, all covered up, including her head, on the couch. The scene of Michelle on the couch is a faded black and white, (not color). It is misty looking. I walk towards Michelle and gently sit by her side so as not to disturb her. Michelle gently wakes up and uncovers her face, she turns to kiss me, and hug me.  She tells me that she loves me and she is smiling sweetly, as she looks at me, she is very calm and very happy. That is how and where this dream ends.

I have given some meaning to these dreams. Michelle is saying that even though she didn’t survive in the flesh, she is very much alive “ON THE OTHER SIDE.” We have survived this, even in looking back we couldn’t change anything but we survived!

In the first dream the infant Michelle is caring for is the innocent person who hasn’t yet completed their earthly life. It could be me, or anyone she loves and “cares” for. Michelle is reminding me that she is not dead, just as the last Bible verse she memorized in John 10:28-29 says: “And I give them eternal life and they shall never perish...” Michelle is clearly illustrating her SUPPORT for us to GO ON, not give up!

In the second dream I believe it means that even as I look back no one, including myself could change what happened, (Michelle’s physical death.) But we all survived the tragedy, Michelle being born to eternal life and us being able to survive here on earth. My Bible is “saturated” because I am in God’s word saturating my heart which keeps me AFLOAT...

In the third dream Michelle is telling me that she is resting happily but she takes the time to let me know she still loves me and always will! And though I may THINK she is JUST sleeping, she is very much AWARE of me and her love for me and mine for her. Our love continues, it goes on! Michelle is letting us know that she is very much alive in Paradise.  With these “signs” we are reminded of the bond that can never be broken! The love that goes on and the gift of eternal life! In the Bible they speak of “The Living Water” in John 4:10-14... “But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into EVERLASTING LIFE.”  All three of my dreams involved “WATER.” We always need to remind ourselves of the light and the truth of God’s word!

Dream 7
My most profound recent dream was one in which I had decided on a burial place for my Michelle's urn, it was to be under our front entrance to our home's island with a bridge, underneath of it, I never actually did the burial of Michelle's urn however I had her urn in my hands and was decided on this.. (I have her urn in actuality in my home and will keep it here until I die and then we will go together to the cemetery.) A small footnote for you.

Mom to Michelle

I have many dreams and visions of my son Douglas. I ask for signs of pennies upside down (tails) on every visit to a child's funeral.  My son came to me in the middle of the night to tell me that my daughter will get a teaching job which see received two weeks later.  If you need more stories I have been many that I can tell you I have been blessed.

People may be skeptical but I would never fake anything.  Nor lie about it.  It is the one thing that helped me get thru the horrible grief of losing my son in 1977.

I lost Andy in October of 1977. He died when a tree fell into my yard and struck him while he was riding his tricycle.   I was told I would never have any more children.  In 1979, I adopted a baby girl 2 days old whom I named Amy.  I had always had a large portrait in my living room of Andy, but Amy either just didn't notice, as she grew, and I assumed one day she would ask me who the portrait was and I planned on telling her.  Even by the time I adopted Amy, I was still having a hard time with Andy's death.  I NEEDED to be proven to that he was somewhere else other than what we call "life on this earth."  I prayed for signs, yet nothing came to me.  Amy talked and walked very early, and by the time she was almost 18 months old she was talking like a 4 year old.  One day, she was in Andy's room, that I had left untouched.  It still had all his trucks and toys since he was only 5 when he died.  She and I were alone in the house.  Andy's room had his little red rocker he'd gotten his last Christmas.  I heard Amy talking  so I crept down the hallway and stood outside listening.  She kept saying, "Can I play with this?"  This went on for a few minutes, and I peeked around the door jamb and looked inside.  Amy was sitting on the floor facing the red rocker and again I heard her say, as she picked up a truck, "Can I play with this too?"  That's when I stepped into the bedroom and said, "Who are you talking to?"  She said, the boy.  I said, what boy?  She pointed to the rocker and said, that little boy in the chair.  I looked and saw nothing.  I said, there's no one there.  She said yes he is too mommy.  He told me this used to be his room.  I about died on the spot.  I said, ask the little boy his name.  She did, turned to me and said, "He said you know his name mommy!"  I said, ask the boy if his name is Andy.  She turned to look back to the chair and said, "Mommy, you made the little boy leave!"  And then she said, but he'll be back.

This about blew my mind and upset me, as I couldn't figure out why Amy could see something that I couldn't.  It was  few days later, and she was in the room again, talking to him.  I listened again, and again, she told him that the room was going to be her room one day, that her mommy had told her so.  I stood there and listened to a one sided conversation with my heart beating so hard I was sure she could hear it.  But as I peeked around the corner, she was just holding a coloring book of Andy's and had some crayons out and was talking to him.

It was about two weeks later, she was in the living room with me when suddenly she looked over the couch and noticed the portrait.  "MOMMY, MOMMY," she yelled.  I came running.  She stood pointing at the portrait and said, that's the little boy who comes in my room.   TO this day, and I have told this story to quite a few people in the Compassionate Friends group, I believe there IS something other than what we know as this life on earth.  I believe small children are very tuned in to things many adults know nothing about.  What other explanation could there be for what my daughter said, more than once.  It took me a while to truly believe this, but today, after what I have been through and seen in my lifetime, I know now that nothing is impossible.

Some things are improbably, but I feel nothing is impossible.  I will always believe that my daughter was seeing my son, and it was his way of letting me know, "Hey mommy, I'm ok."

My first dream was May 15th, 1995.. 2 weeks after Kenneth died... It was at 6:05 in the morning... I had woken up hearing mom help me! and I looked at the clock and thought to myself that my husband was up and if one of the boys was having a nightmare he could handle it... I closed my eyes and there was Kenneth... He was so handsome in the clothes we had buried him in.... Any ways he was in his car with Landon his best friend who was killed with him in the automobile accident with Kenneth....  He said mom it was just an accident and I am ok, I love you.. His friend Landon asked me to tell his mom he loved her too... I kissed him and he was gone.... I cherish that visit everyday... I never got to see Kenneth or tell him bye.. God allowed that to happen.

I am firm believer that dreams serve a purpose.  I was taught all my life & I've read many times in the Bible where God spoke to His people in a dream.  HE told Mary about Jesus, Joseph about Jesus, & the wise men about the newborn baby.  At any rate, I have always been interested in dreams.

Back in 1991, when Daddy's cancer was almost at it's peak, I had a conversation with a group of my friends about "ghost."  I wasn't sure what I believed.  So, that afternoon, I went to talk to Daddy about it.  He was a Baptist minister & had a degree in Theology or whatever it was called.  I respected his opinion on the topic.  When I arrived at my parents house, my mom was busy outside.  So I asked Daddy in confidence if he believed that once you die you can return to earth in the form of a ghost.  He seemed to go into deep study for a minute.  He answered me by saying, although not in these exact words, but close........."Kaye, I don't know if that is possible.   I know that we have stories of Lazarus.  He came back but it was because Jesus brought him back.  Brought him back for a purpose."      I asked him if when he got to Heaven if he would give me a sign if it was possible.  It would be a sign that no one else would ever know.  Just he & I.  He said & I'll never forget this........'If I could come back after the Lord calls me home, it would be for only one reason.  That would be to comfort your momma."  (Wow, I still get chills when I think of this.)  Daddy promised me to never talk to Mom about our conversation.  My dad went to be with the Lord on November 29, 1991.  After my dad's funeral, my mom went home with Linda to Utah.  She stayed there until February.

In February 1992, I was with my kids & Brian at a District Livestock show.  I received a "page" on my beeper & saw that it was my mom.  I telephoned her to see if she was okay.  She wanted to tell me that she had to talk to me as soon as I returned home that night.  Said she wouldn't talk to me about it on the phone. 

That night, I went to my mom's house.  When I went inside, I could tell that she was concerned.  I began talking to her & she told me to sit down for she had something to talk to me about.  Of course I did because she is Momma & I always respected what my parents said.  She began telling me that although she has had many dreams about Daddy since he died, something different had happened the night before.  She had gotten up to go to the restroom & when she returned to bed, a cold chill seem to fill the room.  She was about to get into bed when she saw an image of my daddy.  He laid down beside her & put his arms around her.  She said she could feel the image & it was cold.  She wasn't afraid.  She said he put his arms around her as he lay on his right side.  He hadn't been able to lay on his right side for such a long time due to the cancer in his right lung.  She said he spoke to her & said........"Hun, tell Kaye I came to comfort you!"

I began to cry & told her about that day with Daddy & the promise he made to me.  We sat a cried for hours afterwards for we both knew then he had come home to her.  If it was a dream, it makes no difference.  He came home to her.

Momma says she has dreamed many times about my daddy.  But she has NEVER had a dream like that about Daddy since that night.

Love to you,
Kaye
