A story about my PAPA.

About two months ago before He dies of heart attack on September 28, 1995. I am 31 years old deaf woman. I had a dream and felt that someone were sitting on my chest during my sleep in my bedroom alone.

My dream were telling me that my Papa will die anytime soon. I told my dream No, Please don't let him die so soon, because I wanted him to be 100 years old. My dream kept telling me that No, He can't make it 100 years old and He has to go soon. I told my dream that If you think it's time to go, but first Please, I would like to take an picture of him and my 6 months old baby Patrick and spend some time with him at my parents" house and would like to spend some time with him at the hospital and when he dies and then I will accept his death. My dream said Okay, See you later and my dream is gone. And I woke up crying and told my husband about my dream when he came home from work. He told me "Uummm, I see!

Few weeks ago, before He had a heart attack, I brought my two boys with me to visiting my parents, before they leave to Europe for two weeks vacation. I was very surprised that My Papa came over to see me at my parents" house to just to visiting with me and the boys. It was unexpected visiting. I was shock and felt that my chest were telling me that to go ahead take an pictures. I told myself that It's my dream and It can't be true. So I didn't have a chance to take any picture of him at all. I just kept talking to him and my Mom. My Papa were asking my Mom what is my new baby's name. (I think it was a first time He saw my new baby when he was about 2 1/2 months old) She told my Papa that my baby name is Patrick Charles. And then I told my Papa (Samuel Charles) that I named after his middle name "Charles". He was so surprised and shocked and I have never seen his reaction in my life. so is my mother never see her father's reaction either. And also I asked him if He could make it 100 years old and He told me that He will try to make it but If he can"t make it then He dies. And then He told us that He believes the Holy Spirit.

We told him that Okay, I see! So I knew and felt that He was not telling the truth and He hold his breath real hard and I have never seen him his reaction before in my life. So He left and went home.

After my parents left for the trip and was just returned home two days after my Papa had a heart attack on Aug. 25th. He was okay at the hospital. We found out about him three days later from my brother called my husband. We were very shock and surprised about it because I had told my husband about my dream. So I realize it was a real dream and I couldn't believe it.

So we went to see him at the hospital and Papa were so glad to see me and I have never seen him so happy to see me at the hospital. I was scared to death because I don't know what to say? He was holding my hand so tight and I have never felt that before. When the nurse told us that It's time for us to leave so He could get some rest. So I told him that I had to go and Good Bye! When I told him GOOD BYE I saw his eyes were rolling up and told me OKAY, BABY! I was surprised to hear him saying that to me because He have never told me that in that hospital. So I knew that He will be gone soon. The next day, I went to see him again, all of sudden He was on life support machine I was so upset and surprised. My Uncle were telling me that the Doctor had to put him on the life support machine because He has a lot of fluids on his chest and the doctor don't know what's cause it. I told myself that machine won't help at all....

So He has been on the machine for almost a month. I went to see him almost everyday. Just to talk with him and He can't talk with me because He has on his tubes in his mouth.

Two weeks before He dies, I was working at the Post Office in the morning. During my 30 minutes break, I was watching TV. alone. I was not tired at all. I was in a good mood and all of suddenly my eyes were closed and felt the warm air in my chest and felt someone were hugging me off the chair. I jumped out of my chair and see if someone is hugging me and realize it wasn't. so I saw my Papa's face in front of my eyes. I was screaming and scared at it. I ran out of the room and told my supervisor about it and I had to go see my Papa at the hospital so I did left to see him and saw the doctor and nurses were working on him. I had asked them What happened?, What's going on?. They told me that they had to hurry to switching the machine because He has a lung collapsed. I was shock to hear that because I just saw Papa's face at my work. I didn't have a chance to tell the Doctor what I saw because I was too confused and scared of it. So I went to see him and I didn't have a chance to talk with him because He seems disorienting.

So I went ahead home and told my husband about it and he told me that He heard people talking about seeing dying person who is so close to someone. I told him that He must be joking. and He kept telling me that NO, He heard about it. I was still scared of it. So I went to bed in the morning, during my sleep and I felt someone is sitting on my chest again and telling me to go buy an black dress which I did it. and the following week later I had another dream again that My Marie "Mamie" wanted me to go back to see Papa again and tell him that He don't have to be 100 years old, You may go anytime you wanted to and Maw Maw Mamie is waiting for you and I will see him later. ( I was expecting him to be 100 years old I have told him thousands of times when I was a little girl) When I told him in his ear and He heard me what I told him and I saw his chest were having a deep breath and looks like an sign of relief. I felt in my chest were pouring out to his chest and I felt my pain disappeared fast. I was stunned. So I went home and felt a lot better and I felt so ALIVE... I have never felt it before! So I told my husband about it.

And then my mother called me and told me that the doctor will unplug the machine in few days and I realize that He will be gone anytime soon. So I went to see him again watching the doctor unplug the machine.

My mother, aunt, uncles and I stayed and watching him dying. I felt that My Papa wants me to go home and sleep with my son Patrick in my room. So I left about 30 minutes before He dies. I went home and fed Patrick and We went to bed. An about one hour later, I woke up on my own to just check on Patrick to see if He is alright. All of suddenly, I saw my Papa's face again in front of Patrick's face. He was surprised at me and he smiled at me and that He is Okay. and then He gone. Then my husband came home and told me that Papa died. I told him that I knew that already and told me How did I know? I told him about it and He was surprised that I knew it already. The next day, We went to the wake and felt someone were asking in my head if I know why he died? I told my head NO, I don't know why he died? My head were telling me that He died because I named after his middle name and He has been waiting for a long time and He is ready to die. When I realize it and I was shock to learn from it so I told my husband about it, too.

Then we went to cemetery to buried my Papa. I was told that my head were telling me to go look up my Marie "Mamie""s engrave wall.

She died on February 28,1969 and that was on my Papa's birthday, too Her name is Antonite Marie" Mamie". and told me that She is my guardian angel. I was shock and couldn't believe that because I never knew my grandmother's middle name in my life, because My name is Jena Marie. Again, I told my husband about it, too. and told me that's odd! And my birthday was on Oct 28, 1964. MY Grand parents died on the 28th.

OH yes, I was mad at myself because I didn't listen to my dream because I never had a chance to take an picture of him and Patrick but the good thing I had a picture of him with my 3 years old boy last Christmas day. So I" m learning my lesson to listen to my dream.

Yes, I was very close to my grandpa. and I remember my grandmother died on his birthday because I went ot see my grandmother on the day before she died. I love them dearly and was thinking about them all my life. I believe they are watching over me and my family. I am very thankful for it. I really believe they are my guardian angels.

I have been talking to several priest about my experience. They told me that they heard those stories, too! I was surprised when they told me and I felt that was a special gift to me. Right now, I know they are around me and my family everyday.

I hope one of you have that experience I would like to share with it and see if true spirit.

Thanks for reading my story
