Is that you grandma?

I don’t know what you believe in or want to believe in. And I promise this isn’t a posting wanting you to believe what I may or may not believe. I say that because sometimes I don’t know what I believe. I do think that there are things that happen and take place that are far beyond what I know and can comprehend at this time.

I do want to share with you an experience that I had the other night.

I put the young lad down for bed at his normal time. A normal night consists of him sometimes, not all the time, screaming for a few minutes (under 10) then finally quieting down and going to sleep. I’m confident that he is getting close to his REM sleeping level (the dreaming level) after only 30 minutes. Well this night the boy didn’t scream (which isn’t that unusual), but he was up for at least 45 minutes talking and laughing. 45 minutes of this is VERY rare.

Well off to bed we went after a quick check on the little one who was finally fast asleep. Sometime in the night, I didn’t look at the clock, the boy woke up again. Not that this is routine but it’s not out of the norm and I usually just wait to see if he is going to put himself back to sleep or if I have to come in. The unusual thing was, again he was talking to himself. After about 10 minutes he quieted down. I then noticed a distinct smell in my room that I couldn’t place at the time. The boy started his small half cry that is him saying ‘hello will someone come rock me.’ The smell in the room dissipated and I heard his cry stop and turn into talking again. He was up for about 30 minutes or so.

In the morning we, my lord and I (inside joke), were talking about how weird it was for him to wake up talking to himself in the middle of the night. After my lord left I thought about the smell that came into our room that night. I knew that smell. What was it? Finally it hit! That smelled like grandma.

Grandma has passed a few years ago and was not around to meet my husband or our child. But I have a strange suspension that she was visiting and playing with the little boy in the other room.

Like I said I’m not completely sold that spirits can and do visit us but I have had more than this experience that leads me to believe that it is possible.
