Grandpa George
Well, today I had an interesting experience. I was making lunch for everyone, and I suddenly smelled my Grandpa. I checked everything around me to see if it smelled like him, but it was just in the air, in and out for a little while. I called my mom right away to see how Grandpa was doing, and in fact he had been in and out of consciousness since this morning. I have a feeling that when a person is unconscious, their spirit can separate from their body, which is why so many people can explain their "out of body" experiences after they awaken from being unconscious. Anyway, I think, somehow, he was able to be near me, even if only in spirit, and even if only for a few moments. It made me tear up a little but I was happy to be able to say good bye when I really felt like he heard me. My Grandpa died a few hours later in his bed with my Grandma by his side. I will miss him, and will always think of him when I play cribbage, or eat kringle, or have house guests that stay too long :) I love you Grandpa.

Jesse - so sorry to hear of your lose. I'm glad that you were able to have that final connection and you were able to say goodbye. The lose of any loved one is hard, but knowing that we will be able to see them again is comforting. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
