Reply #46: I had a pact too [View All]

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

My grandmother was my best friend growing up. About two years after my grandfather (her husband) died, he came back to visit her and kissed her on the lips. She felt this, and it woke her up. At first she thought it was a dream, until she smelled an odor that was particular to her departed husband-a combination of liniments and medication that had been gone from the house for over two years. When she told me about this, I asked her if she would visit me after she died, and she said she would.

She died some 16 years later. I went up to the funeral-it was a long trip, and I lay down to rest. It is important at this point to explain two things: my grandmother had fallen, and it had loosened some old surgery scars so that she could not eat or drink. And my grandmother LOVED to eat-she was quite plump and cheerful.

Anyway, I lay down to rest. And then I was in a field of white, and there was my grandmother. She looked at me and said, "I feel much better now. I think I'm going eat something." I told her she couldn't because she was dead. She had the most shocked expression on her face! Then she said, "I am?" and smiled, like she was thinking "This wasn't so bad after all". Then I heard a piercing tone and felt myself hit the bed-apparently I'd been out of my body and came back.

Like you, I'm not afraid of death. I know there'll be a lot of friends there to greet me, my grandmother included.
