When I was a freshman in high school both my grandfathers passed away two months apart. They were my heroes and I absolutely adored them. About eight months later my father's brother died of cancer, he had just turned 50. He had been living with my Nana before he became too sick and was moved to the hospital where he died.

My Mother was lying in the back bedroom with my sister and she said a prayer to my Uncle. He had been a policeman for most of his life, and my mother was praying that he would watch over myself and my sister and the rest of our family, she got her answer, three lights in the ceiling fan which had been unscrewed turned on for about three minutes before they turned off.

About three or four years later my Nana was sound asleep in the same house my Grandfather and Uncle had lived, when she was awakened by a loud pounding on the front door, she was so frightened she called the police and waited until they got there before leaving her bedroom. When she opened the door and the officer stepped into the house he immediately smelled a very strong odor of gas and insisted that my Nana leave the house at once. He then called for the fire department. The police searched the entire house inside and out but found no traces of anyone anywhere. The fire department told the officers and Nana that if whatever it was hadn't been banging on the front door she would have never woken up. When my Nana told the officer and the fire department about my Uncle's passing they both agreed that she definitely had someone watching over her. I know to this day it was my Uncle, and since my Grandfather and Uncle's passing I have always felt that I've had someone watching over me.
