Just when you think they're gone

So here's a story that I'm going to share with everyone in hopes that they've had something similar happen to them. 3 years ago after my grandfather had struggled with cancer he had finally lost the battle.

My mother and my aunt and my grandmother stayed by his side for the last week when hospice told us that he would not make it till that next Friday. My mother had went home it was a Thursday she told me that she wanted me to stay home before I headed up there to see him and tell she got home because she didn't have her cell phone. She called me about 8:30 in the morning and told me that she had made it home just fine and I called my grandmother and I told her that I would be up there in less than an hour.

As I pulled up I was a little frustrated because of all the construction that was going on and I just wanted to get there to be with him. I went to the door and my grandmother had answered it and she had tears in her eyes and she said that he was gone. So I ran to the room where he laid and I try to feel up for a breath I tried to shake it and wake him up but he was gone. My aunt had left to go run some errands for my grandma and it was just her and him at the time when he passed and we all believed that tlis what he was waiting for just him and her alone to go.

It is a very horrible thing to happen for anybody to lose their husband,their father, their grandfather, and their brother but his body was weak and he had to go. Hospice had showed up and offered us the stones that had sayings on them my grandmother drew love, my aunt drew cherish i drew remember. Tell this day for three years I have carried that little Stone around with me everywhere I go.

A couple weeks ago I had a dream and it was not a normal dream to remind you it's been 3 years since he has been gone. In my dream he was sitting in a chair while someone was laying there with a white sheet on them and I was crying but I couldn't see who was in the hospital and who was passing. I just remember me saying I will do anything take my blood take my bone marrow take this but I looked over and we made eye contact. He never said anything to me and he didn't smile but he stared at me for a long time and he wasn't old he was very young I would say in his twenties. He didn't smile he didn't do anything he didn't move he just stared at me and I woke up and the electricity was off and my room and I could not stop crying.

I had not thought about him the night before I went to bed and I've heard of other people having experiences like this where they come to let them know that they're okay and that's what I think was he came to let me know that he was just fine. The he is no longer in pain and he was no longer suffering that he was young and healthy again and you just wanted to check up on me to make sure I was okay. I cannot explain the rush of emotion that I felt after that dream I cried for hours constantly just sobbing nothing like this has ever happened to me.

If you've had an experience like this please let me know it's a wonderful, very sad but beautiful experience. I think about it and I talk about it all the time since it's happened and it still makes me upset but I know deep down in my heart that he was letting me know that he is just fine. It's weird that our loved ones show up at strangest times maybe they just know that we needed them.
