This is a really weird thing that happened to my mother a month ago. I thought it was a bit awkward because my mother usually doesn't believe in that kind of things. So, about two years ago, my Brazilian great-grandfather died of alzheimer. My mother and him had a great relationship. This year, my grandmother turned 66. Her party was in this huge terrace in an apartment, with all her friends, her old classmates from Brazil and family. My mother told me that, when we were singing her happy birthday (they were all very drunk), she saw, through an old friend of my grandmother's (who doesn't look anything like my great-grandfather) my great-grandfather. I didn't believe her at first, and my father started to laugh when he heard this. I guess she was just having an illusion or something like that. What do you think?
I agree on that one, people see what they want to see. It's time you question yourself, what do you believe? If you do believe in afterlife then you believe your mother. If not you wouldn't be posting this.
