Experience description 2708:

It started when my father was sick and dying. I started noticing a blue orb of light by my shoulder when I was walking with my dog. It would go along with us, so I started asking if it was someone and if so, who. So I would get feelings of it being my father's mother. I asked if it was her and felt happiness, excitement. I don't remember exactly how many times this took, but it was going on for a few weeks, I think. I would get a little bit of information at a time. I finally got to where I felt like she wanted me to give my dad a message from her. I asked, and again the happy and excited feeling came. I don't remember the exact words she wanted me to say to him, and it took a few tries to understand what she wanted me to tell him. He had been telling us more stories of his early life after he found out he was dying. One of the stories was about her death. I had never heard before that her second husband killed her in a fire, and I could see he was still unsettled about it. He said if he hadn't been overseas in the Marines, he would have killed the man. Her message to him was something about forgiveness and some other things. I honestly don't remember the words, and didn't even ever again right after I said them.

It was difficult trying to figure out how and when to tell my dad this. But the longer I waited, the more persistent she was. I could feel her pushing me to tell him, and I kept telling her that I couldn't just blurt it out. "Hey dad, your dead mom wants me to tell you....." So she backed off a little, but then I guess too much time had elapsed and I was driving home form his house one day and the car's license plate in front of me said BLUEORB .That was the custom plate. So I said ok, ok, I'll figure it out.

He had given me the family photos and one was a picture of her. Her high school photo I think. So I drew the picture and used the blue color for the background. So it was a black and white drawing with the blue background. He had a bad event and was in the hospital. I made a card from the picture I drew and brought it to him in the hospital. When we were alone in the room I gave it to him and he said, "I like the background color." So I said, "I used that color because that's the same color I see when your mom comes to visit me. She's been hanging around me and wants me to give you a message from her." And then I told him what the message was. As soon as I got through I could see him visibly relax. It was like a tension he had been holding in his body, just released. We didn't ever talk about it. She didn't come around after that, either. That was all she wanted.

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION 2709:

My husband and I worked at the same place, so we drove together. We came home one night and there was a dog lying in the back corner of the garage. We didn't park in the garage because it was an old building. I commented on the dog, and my husband said don't go in there, we don't know what it will do. But it was still there the next day, and when we came home from work that night I told him to bring our son inside, I was going to check on the dog. It had not moved at all. So I went in and started talking to it. It was a St Bernard and my dog Goldie was a shepherd mix. But the dog just laid there with its head on its paws looking at me. I asked if it was ok, and sat down and started to pet it. It just looked me in the eyes and I told it how it reminded me of Goldie. The dog was looking at me exactly how Goldie would look at me. I told the dog I was going to get some water, and while I was inside the phone rang. It was my mother, calling to tell me Goldie had died. So that is why I did not have any grief during the experience. I did not know she had died. When I went back out to the garage, the dog was gone. I asked around to everyone I could, and no one had seen a St. Bernard, or knew anyone in town who had one. I never saw the dog again, but I knew it was Goldie coming to say good bye. We loved each other very much, and I still do love her. We had a special understanding of each other. When I moved away and was coming back to visit, my sister told me she would tell Goldie I was coming home and she would wait by the window, looking for me.
