This is a story about my grandma. I truly believe in this story. I suppose some may think that it is not true, considering the circumstances, but my grandma insists that no matter what anyone else says, she knows that this happened.

My grandma was alone in her house. My grandfather had just died a year or two earlier. This particular day was, I believe, either my grandpa's birthday or it was their anniversary. My grandma was feeling a little bit weepy all day, kind of sad, you know. She was sitting in my grandpa's recliner and kind of crying, when all of a sudden she felt something on her shoulder. She looked over and saw my grandpa's head there, and he was smiling. When she told me this, the first thing I asked her was if that scared her. She said no, it gave her great comfort to see his head right there. She felt that it was his way of letting her know that he was still with her, just not in the physical sense. It didn't scare her one bit. She looked away, then looked back again and the face was gone. My grandma felt at peace the rest of the day and was fine after that. Yes, she still has her moments when she misses him, but she just thinks back to this occasion and she feels comforted.

I truly feel that my grandfather came to my grandma as an angel, to show her that she need not cry, he's happy where he is in Heaven, and he will always be with her.
