I was reading several of other peoples experiences with ADC because the night before and I felt my late husband's presence. His name was Dave and I was listening to his music on our computer that night and he loved Jimmy Buffett...I went to the Radio Margaritaville and their was a live concert of Jimmy's playing...he had written a new song since Dave's death and it was playing...all the while I was speaking to Dave in my thoughts that I wish he could have lived to hear this song when all of a sudden

the light above me went dim...mind you I had just changed the 2 florescent bulbs just days before...brand new ones. They went completely out and then came back on just as bright as new. I knew he was telling me he could here it from the afterlife. So today I decided to check out your site about ADC experiences. I had read several and was getting into other people's stories when my door bell rang....the bell that you push at my door has not been there for about 6 months now, as a matter of fact the wires are cut at the door with no button there...I was not thinking about that and my dog was barking and she went to the door...so I followed to open up the door and nobody was there of course...there is no button to ring the bell...It just verified for me that he is watching over me and sees that I still love him and one day we will see each other again.
