Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

My Dad passed away in May of 2001 of a massive heart attack in his home with my Mother in the next room. It was quick and fast with no time for a goodbye. I have always believed in an afterlife and had discussed this with my father prior to his passing as he was afraid of what was to come.

I believe that our body is the vessel in which our soul or spirit resides. When we die our soul leaves the body and crosses over to the other side, another dimension. I still took it very hard as I have always been very close to both my parents.

That night at my folks home I went out and looked at the beautiful stars in the sky remembering what my dad always told his three grandchildren, “When I am gone from you I will never really be gone I will be the soft stars that shine at night and the wind that blows through the trees that will be me!”

I prayed for my dad to give me a sign that he made it and told him I would never say goodbye in my prayers always so long as I felt he would be near me and I would see him again. I have gotten many signs over the years the first being three feathers on my car door, many Dragonflies and much more. But the best was the night he came to me and sat on my bed holding my hands telling me he was okay at peace and free of pain. He looked just as he did before he passed only better somehow! He told me I was right about what I thought and for me to go on with my life and he would be watching over me and we would be together again in time.

I feel so blessed to have that connection with him and I know he is my guardian angel and my mom’s too as he is around her as well. I keep getting this feeling that I should write a book about this because so much has happened and not only to me. Who knows, maybe PaPa as the grandkids call him, will help me with that too.  In the hope that I may bring comfort to others that have lost loved ones and always wondered does the heart still go on?

Thanks PaPa for always being with me. I will meet you someday on the other side. Sing with the Angels for me! So long for now your little peanut!

I have had many things happen since 2001 including my Dad touching my hand in bed one night after asking him to. One of his favorites was to tickle my feet, sure scared me the first time though! I just felt there was too much to include here at this time. If you would ever want the full story sometime just let me know OK! Thanks, Sandy.
