Experience Description

I'm not sure who would believe this story. I'm not sure I believe it. I think of myself as a very normal person. When I was three my mother passed away. So besides pictures I have no physical memories of her. I cannot go into details regarding exactly how she passed, as I'm not a hundred percent sure but I have heard several different stories. How she passed is unimportant though.

She has been gone thirty-five years and by most of the world, forgotten. Around two weeks ago, I started thinking about her and felt a need to find out about her life and the questions I had regarding her death. I contacted her sister after thirty-five years and started getting answers.

Anyway, about three days before this experience I felt a presence and that she was overjoyed. I felt it as real as I breathe. It was my mother and she was very happy.

So last night my best friend and I are driving and I tell her umm I think my mom is next to me hugging me and telling me it's ok son. My mother is very, very happy. My friend's jaw dropped and she started crying. I thought she would think I was crazy, and she thought I would think she was crazy but at the exact same time, she was watching my mother die in a hospital bed with the doctors working over her. We both had chills and goose bumps at the same time. It was like a rush of energy hitting us both. I can’t believe it happened myself, so I don't expect anyone else to believe it. Yet I swear it happened and I have a witness that shared the experience with me!
