My 7 year old daughter Sydney died of bacterial meningitis on May 15 2005. Her death was very sudden and unexpected, within just a few hours of her first symptoms. My wife and I took this very hard as anyone with children could immagine. I have a very difficult time especially at night.

One night about a week after we lost her I got very upset and started crying. So I did not wake up my Wife or the baby I went out of our bedroom to try to calm down. I went into Sydney's room and laid down on her bed. I tried to pray but ended up crying very hard.

In the middle of this I felt someone take each of my hands in their hands and I thought I had woke up my wife. I was sobbing that I was sorry and that I missed Sydney so much I could not stand it.

This went on for several minutes all the while my eyes were closed and my hands were being held tightly. when I finally stopped crying I felt the grip on my hands relax and that is when I opened my eyes. I was alone in her room.

I walked back into our bedroom and found my wife still sleeping and the table lamp beside the bed (which we never us - we use the overhead light) was on.

I have no doubt in my mind that Sydney is an Angel and that she was there comforting me the whole time. I also think the light being on was a sign from her because when she was alive she always insisted on leaving the bathroom light on all night- which is right down the hall from her room- she hated the dark.

I love you Sydney - Thank You.
