It was Christmas eve night and I was feeling sad and thinking back on last Christmas, I was remembering how I was alone last year at the same time on the same day, my father stopped by to wish me a merry Christmas and to tell me how happy the family's night was ,he was so happy like I'd rarely see him. As I sat there crying in my room I was speaking to him as though he was there with me, I told him how much I missed him and loved him and talked on how he stopped by last Christmas, for the 15 min. that I cried I never really expected what I was about to see, as I turned around to my left I saw a big almost glittering with color bright light hovering, to my surprise I jumped back in shock, as I jumped back the light quickly disappeared as thought it knew it scared me a bit.
