I saw my deceased mother who died five years ago. I waited for years for a contact but it never came and today all of a sudden, there she was.  She was wearing her same clothes that I am used to see her in (the covering dress of Arab Muslim lady )  We walked along for some time.  I was doing all the talking and the questioning. I waited for response but ..nothing, no word, no expression whatsoever.  All of a sudden, the road took a turn and I realized that we are now entering the big hall of a movie theatre.  We were in the lobby where you buy popcorn and other food.  She stopped and pointed to the fridge where they kept the ice cream.  But it was locked and everything was closed.  I woke up feeling bad not knowing what she wanted.  I wondered if it was hot where she was now.  She was a very religious woman who prayed a lot.

T

he amazing thing is what happened the next morning. I guided my family into the shopping mall, through all kind of twist and turns between the shops until we came to the movie theatre where I saw that ice cream machine.  To my family's surprise and amazement.  The little kids ordered ice cream, but I didn't have the heart to order anything since I know she wanted this last night and couldn't have any.

a year passed now and I still remember it like yesterday.  she never made another contact though. God have mercy on her soul
