My brother in law died just before Christmas and my birthday is in March. I was walking to my sister's house from my parents house on my birthday, I try to visit with her each time I visit my parents. I was thinking of my brother in law and how much I missed him. I distinctly heard a sound like a birthday card with the song Happy Birthday playing. I first said oh, someone else has a birthday today. I looked around so I could wish them a happy birthday. There wasn't anybody outside, no house door was open nor was there anybody in their car. Then I looked up and thought, it was my brother in law wishing me a happy birthday. I mentioned this to my sister and she said that she has heard her husband say I love you to her. They both are still so much in love and he made sure that she knew that he loved her still. I have told others and of course they went yay, I am sure that happened, but inside they didn't believe me. I had to know so I called a psychic whom specializes in talking with the deceased. She told me that was him wishing me a happy birthday and she also wanted me to tell my sister that her husband would always be there watching over her. She also mentioned my deceased brother when I asked about him. He was a baby when he died, she did not know that and she mentions not asked, that he was very young when he died. He was just hours old. (I know you shouldn't believe psychics but I had just had to know.)
I have also been contacted by my guardian angel at least 2 times in my life, same booming but calming voice and he has saved my life 2 times and the life of my family once.
