My mother died due to terrible complications of an open heart surgical operation. It would really strain the reader even if I mentioned them briefly. She stayed in the ICU 23 days before she finally passed. 

One week after she passed, I was alone in my bedroom crying. My husband was in the office/sitting room, on the sofa, half sleeping and half awake, watching TV. On one hand I missed my sweet mama terribly; on the other hand I felt it was unfair that she died (we have had several pieces of evidence that this all was due to the surgeons' mistakes, but I didn't perform an necropsy, there was no point as she was gone). 

I had been asking her from the previous night to do something to show me she existed in some form. Something to prove to me that she was alive, even in  different circumstances, even in a spiritual, ethereal body. I asked her to blow the candle, which she didn't. That night I was crying so much and had decided to keep the candle lighting all night until she blew it, until she put it off. I asked her in tears and with all my heart to do me this favor. I said "I know you can do it in the form you are currently, just show me something so that I don't cry so much anymore". 

I cried and begged, over and over, for about an hour. I finally got tired, stopped crying and closed my eyes, very disappointed. I felt I did not deserve my mother's response. May be she was angry with me, this thought made me feel extremely, unbearably sad. Calming down gradually, I heard the specific sound of blowing a candle or a match. I opened my eyes wide and -yes!- it was dark, she had blown and put off the candle!  

She stayed with me all night, I felt a cold current of air cuddling me up and down. 

Since this I felt this current stroking me from time to time. I still ask her to manifest in a dream, so that I can ask her questions and see her because I miss her so much. She hasn't shown yet, it's been about 35 days since she left. I like to believe she will do something on my birthday, on July 26. I don't know what I really expect but I sure expect a surprise. She wouldn't miss my birthday for anything, even as a spirit. That's what I like to think...
