She came to me in a dream last night Face was smiling, hair was white No longer a farm wife, cooking and cleaning I'm sure this dream had some wonderful meaning She wore a gold necklace, embedded with stones Each one for a child she had called her own No apron tied around her clothes Youthful body, no more woes I hadn't dreamt of Grandma, since she had passed I didn't want to wake up...I wanted it to last I hugged her and told her I'd never seen her so fair I knew in my heart that this moment was rare But the rooster crowed and the sun did shine I told the family of the dream of mine My mother asked, When did you have this dream? I think I know what it may mean The anniversary of her wedding was the day before last Only Mother knew that it had quietly passed Grandma was dressed up so pretty and bright Because Grandpa Pete took her out for the night They went riding on moonbeams, and chasing the sun Drinking the raindrops, Celestial fun |

lovely thoughts...when I dream of my Grandmother, she is making banana pudding...she must be--Heaven deserves the best...and hers was the best |

Oh, Tina. I do believe your Grandma visited you! I had a similar dream of my own grandmother after her passing. She had died from cancer, and her beautiful face had been etched in pain. However, in my dream, she was radiant and young again. I then was able to accept her passing because in my heart I knew that she was happy and at peace. Thank you so much for sharing your special dream ~ visitation? ~ with us. You wrote of it so beautifully! Love & Eternal Light, Linda |
