A Familiar Face

This is a brief story my mother shared with me a while back. 

Let me premise this by stating my mother is a very conservative and sane person. Her describing the events that transpired were somewhat of a shock to me. But, knowing her like I do I believe her account.

When she was in her early twenties her grandfather passed away. The family got together the weekend of the funeral at her grandmother's house to provide comfort and reassurance. On the second evening, the night of the funeral, family members were strewn throughout the small house visiting. My mother was in the living room with a few cousins, nephews and nieces. While she was watching television she caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye. When she turned toward the image she was astonished with who she saw. She swears that the image was her recently deceased grandfather, looking as alive as anyone in the house, walking from the hallway into the kitchen doorway. When he arrived at the doorway of the kitchen he simply turned toward my mother and gave a warm smile.

Needless to say my mother didn't come right out and share her experience with the family in the room because she couldn't believe what she had just seen. Fearing that she may be made fun of or worse she kept this experience to herself for many years.

She insists to this day that she was not asleep and that the image was her grandfather. She has always taken comfort in this shared moment with her deceased grandfather.
