[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not exactly ghosts, but very supernatural (or coincidence, if you prefer):when the hospice nurse said death was imminent for my grandmother, I was living about 4 hours of travel away—a 2 hour drive to the airport and a 2 hour flight. On the drive, I saw two cars with her first name (3 letters) as the letters on the license plate and a bus from her hometown (she was from MO and this was in CA). Because of the short notice, the flight had a stop in a small town and was supposed to go on to my destination. There were mechanical problems at the stopover and, after the runaround from the airline, it became clear we weren’t going to get another plane that day even though it was early evening. I asked my fellow passengers if anyone wanted to rent a car and make the 4-hour drive the rest of the way. A group of four of us rented a car: me, on the way to say goodbye to my grandmother who I love so much; a woman on her way to see her daughter who was in labor; a man on his way to his grandson’s third birthday; and a woman on her way to her son’s wedding. A lifespan! Anyway, the drive was spectacular and the sunset was a perfect pink that my grandmother would have loved. One of the other riders offered me a Mars bar, which is a weird thing to have and was my grandma’s favorite.

At the nursing home, my grandma was not lucid. She barely opened her eyes, but she let me brush her hair, as I often did, and I told her I loved her. After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes and said, “it’s time to go.” Then she died quietly, like drifting off to sleep.

That was such a lovely story. Thank you for sharing. [/quote]

Thank you. I don’t believe in ghosts, but for years after she died, I wanted to hear from her. My daughter is named for her and sometimes I’ll say her name a certain way and remember my grandad saying it like that and kissing my grandma on the cheek. This story is not at all spooky, but the thread is reminding me to look for the signs again.[/quote]
