When I was 10 years old,my Grandad passed away.We were very close to each other,and when I was 10 death only happened to other people.Never anyone like my Grandad.
I never knew he was dying.
We(me and my family)had gone to visit him in hospital,when we went to leave my Grandad was very tired.My Mum and Nan(his wife and daughter)went over to say goodbye to him,he whispered something to them and pointed to me.I waved and we left,thinking we would see him next morning.
I went to bed as normal and read until real late.
I woke up to find my Grandad standing in my room,this was a bit strange as the hospital he was in took 2 hours to get to by car(which my Grandad did not have)
He told me that I would wake at a certain time and find someone I knew but not too well in my parents room.She would tell me they had gone to see my Nan and that everything was ok.
He then said that the real reason they had gone to see my Nan was to tell her he had died,he told me not to worry as everything was ok.
I did wake at the time he said,found my Uncles new wife(who I did not know too well) in my parents room,she told me excatly what my Grandad said she would.
I told her that my parents were telling my Nan that Grandad had passed away,I explained how I knew.She went as white as a sheet and sent me to bed.When my Dad got home I had to tell him the same story.
Still to this day,noone can say what I saw or why.People give you strange looks when you tell them things like this,so I have kept it to myself from a lot of people.
