3 weeks after my husband had passed, I had my grandson over staying the night. I’d slept on the couch since he passed and early in the evening my grandson made the comment he felt like we were being watched. I disregarded it and later he fell asleep next to me on the couch. I was up reading still at 3am. When suddenly my grandson sat upright and eyes closed he spoke the sentence “ I don’t know what your talking about”.
