The night our granddaughter died she was in Raymond terrace New south Wales ( her husband was a f/18 pilot in the raaf at the time) My wife and I where at home in Melbourne Victoria. We where sitting watching TV in the evening when my grandmother appeared holding a baby, She had on her black coat at the time, she never spoke only shook her head and looked really sad. I turned to my wife and said Jacinta has just died. ( I find this very hard to write about.) The phone rang a few moments later, it was our son in law with the awful news.

Time passed and I kept seeing my grandmother at various times when good or bad news arrived. On my granddaughters third birthday she appeared in our living room looking lovely and radiant.  I told my wife she was there.  It was only for a few moments but it gave me peace.

About 8 years after I had started seeing my g/mother I awoke one night about 3am to see her standing by the bed, she was with another lady and was truly excited, for the first time I heard her speak, she told me she was moving on and she really was looking forward to going to this next level. the lady she was with was an angel ( no wings ) I couldn't see her face but I could see all the rest of her. They both glowed and where excited to be going. the angel was taking her. my g/mother told me that I wouldn't be seeing her for some time and wished me goodbye.

Our daughter had a son the following year and when he was 4 years old he was playing in our pool when he turned to myself and my wife and asked us did we know what happened when you die. we answered you went to heaven or something like that. he became annoyed and said he could remember being an old man and closing his eyes and when he opened them he was in another place. he said it was like your birthday everyday but no presents and all your friends are there. he also said that he chose to be with his Mum & Dad and that as he got older he would meet all his friends again around the world because they would be getting born now. A moment later he had forgotten everything he said and now at 14 he won't believe he said it.
