Reply #100: Maybe. On the day my Gramma died... [View All]

[jane_pippin]

My gramma and I were very close--like a second mom. She was at my parents house in home-hospice when she died but I was living in a different city and wasn't there when she passed. I was getting ready to go to work that afternoon when my dad called to tell me she was gone.
I hung up, sobbed, and started packing to go back home. As I was doing that a little bird (gramma LOVED birds) started tapping on my window really hard and wouldn't stop. I had the tv on and while my dad called the stupid John Edwards psychic guy show came on. I don't put any stock into what that guy says, but it so happened that as the bird was tapping John Edwards kept saying my gramma's name to the person on his show. ("Is it Mary? Is the name Mary? I keep getting Mary." That kind of thing.)

Out of nowhere I just started laughing, looked at the bird and said "I love you too gramma. Goodbye for now," and the bird stopped tapping.

Was it paranormal? I don't know. Maybe. Probably just coincidences. Either way, it felt like it was her saying goodbye and it made me feel a little better.
