My grandfather Raul had a strong connection with me. I would visit him often. They kept him in in hospital due to a complication caused by diabetes, they didn't let me see him. I remember the afternoon before his death. I was sitting on the side of the hospital parking lot, looking at the sky. I felt very sad because I knew he was going to die. But at the same time I wanted him to stay here on earth. I felt I couldn't carry on being so selfish, that I had to let him go, and in a loud voice I said "Grandfather, you must go in peace." 

The next day I went to his house and while dining at 19.20pm exactly the refrigerator began making unusual noises. In that moment I felt a hand touch my left arm. I knew it was my grandfather, who came to say goodbye to me. I said to him, "I know that you have to go now, go in peace". In that moment my father returned from the hospital and confirmed to me that my grandfather had died at 17.20pm 

I miss him a lot, even when so many years had passed after his death, (in 1992) , on fathers day or Christmas, I cry thinking of him, and how I miss him, and still today, I am sad that he isn't in my life. 

On 25^th December 2014, 22 years later, after lunch, I lay down and fell asleep. I dreamed I was on a beach of bright sand, there were some stones, and I was sat on them looking at the sea. 

On my right I could see two people walking, it was my grandfather, with a woman that had long hair, who for some reason wouldn't let me see her face, (I know that it was my grandmother, who I had never known, because she died when my father was born). They sat down by my side, I chatted with my grandfather. It seemed to me that a few hours had passed. Afterwards he got up and told me he had to go. At that moment I got up and I cried, because I would have loved more time with him. I didn't hear his voice, just that we had talked in a different way. I don't remember either what we talked about, but I feel he clamed me down. I know it wasn't a dream.

Mi abuelo Raúl tenia una conexión muy fuerte conmigo. Yo iba a visitarlo a menudo. Lo internaron en el hospital por una complicación de la diabetes, no me permitían verlo. Recuerdo la tarde anterior a su muerte, estaba sentada en un costado del estacionamiento del hospital mirando al cielo. Yo me sentía muy triste porque sabía que él moriría, pero a la vez quería que se quedara aca en la tierra. Sentí que no podía seguir siendo egoísta, que tenía que dejarlo partir, en voz alta dije 'abuelo, tenes que irte en paz'.

Al día siguiente fui a su casa y mientras cenaba, a las 19.20 horas para ser exacta,  la heladera comenzó a hacer ruidos raros. En ese mismo momento siento que una mano me toca el brazo izquierdo. Yo sabia que era mi abuelo que venía a despedirse de mi. Le dije 'ya se que tenes que irte, andá tranquilo'. A la hora, mi padre volvió del hospital y me confirmó que mi abuelo había fallecido a las 19.20 horas.

Lo extraño mucho, aún cuando pasaron tantos años de su fallecimiento (en 1992), en el día del padre o en navidad lloro pensando en él y en cómo lo extraño, aún hoy en día siento que me falta en mi vida.

El 25 de diciembre de 2014, 22 años más tarde, después de almorzar, me recosté y me quedé dormida. Soñé que estaba en una playa de arenas claras, había algunas piedras y yo estaba sentada sobre ellas mirando el mar.

A mi derecha veo caminando a dos personas, era mi abuelo, con una mujer de pelo largo, quien por alguna razón no me dejó ver su rostro (yo se que era mi abuela a quien nunca conocí porque murió cuando mi papá nació). Se sentaron a mi lado, tuve una charla con mi abuelo. Me pareció que habían pasado un par de horas. Después él se levantó y me dijo que tenía que irse. En ese momento me desperté y lloré porque quería estar más tiempo con él. No escuché su voz, solo sé que hablamos de alguna manera. Tampoco recuerdo sobre qué hablamos, pero siento que él me tranquilizó. Se que no fue un sueño.
