(10,885 posts)The most incredible one was on Christmas Eve after everyone had gone to bed. I was sitting on the couch, staring at the lighted tree in the otherwise dark room, and was thinking of Christmases as I was growing up. I was feeling very melancholy and missing my favorite aunt who had always hosted Christmas Eve and made it so wondrous. Clear as a bell, my aunt's voice spoke from the tree, saying "I'm OK, Honey. I'm here with Baci (my name for my g-ma), and the two of us are watching over you. We love you." Yes, I was 100% sober...and totally floored!
The second time wasn't as dramatic, but startling just the same. Standing at the sink, rinsing dishes, I felt light pressure on my back for no apparent reason - until the voice again, "Checking in to let you know we're still by your side. Love you." and *+*Whoosh*+*, she was gone.
Both of these were many years ago, and she has not *spoken* with me since, but I definitely feel her presence on many occasions.
