The Greatest Gift, Part 1



After my grandma had past and I hadn't gotten to say goodbye. I thought about her endlessly and worried so..much about my grandpa. They livid over in Anacortes, Wa. While I was stuck here in Spokane. Anyways...one evening I had a dream I was with my grandma looking through photo albums at their house. I awoke to being in my own house without my grandma and I was just "Blue"....Then I got the phone call. My grandpa had admitted himself to the hospital and was sick. I wasn't about to take any chances. I called my girlfriend Jenna and within an hour we were ready to bear the Snoqualmie Pass in February...mind you..I didn't call my dad ;)!!!!!

After we visited my grandpa we headed back to their house. That evening I WAS looking through their photo albums (I just wish I would have known that would have been my last evening in their house). When it was time for bed Jenna and I decided we would sleep downstairs ....rather than in my usual upstairs bedroom because grandma's ashes were next to it (they wanted their ashes scatted together in the San Juan's).

After getting all snug in their bed I started hearing noises. I was so...scared I couldn't even speak. I was like a 9 year old little child with their mouth poking out of the blankets to breath. I could hear people walking around upstairs...and my mind was focusing Hard in it!!! Suddenly...these people (you could hear muffled voices) started walking down the carpeted steps downstairs where our room was. I couldn't let out a word..I was Frozen. I squeezed as close as I could to Jenna still controlling my breathes outside the blanket...when they walked in!! You could feel it. They all stood around our bed...and all I could hear was my grandma saying.."Look..there she is..it's Stephy!!" I don't remember what happened next I just remember getting up in the morning and opening the blinds to see the ocean..when Jenna looked up at me and said.."Steph..Did you get the feeling there were people standing around our bed last night??"


Jenna is not one to believe in ghosts but she will back up this story 100%!! It was the most beautiful scary thing that has ever happened in my life...and it was then I started to believe!!

Before leaving in the morning I decided to look inside some of the dresser drawers in that bedroom...and I am so...glad I did.

My parents were only married for a year when my mother was 18. So I had no pictures of me and them together...well....First I found their wedding album (which I had no idea even existed) and then I found a folder with pictures and labeled in my grandma's handwriting it said "These are for Stephy." When I opened it...I was in shock. Pictures of my mother...father and me at my grandparents old lake cabin on the Coeur d’Alene river. What a beautiful Treasure...Thank YOU grandma!!
