Experience description:

My mother and I were very close.  Possibly too close as she confided in me from a young age like I was her sounding board.  After being ill for a few years with heart disease, she passed away in her sleep one afternoon. On the day she passed, in the morning, I could not stop crying and being terribly depressed. I couldn't explain to my husband what was wrong and I didn't understand it myself but I had no control of it.  my husband and I and our two children were living in Colorado on the army base and my mother and father were in Florida. I was at work at the daycare center and it became 4 in the afternoon. I'm not a big fan of Chinese food really but I had an insatiable craving to have it for dinner.  I call my husband. And told him I wanted to order Chinese food tonight. He said fine of course. At 5pm I finished by work and drove home.  When I got home my husband told me my mother had passed away around 4 in the afternoon that day. I called up my father and he said that she had wanted Chinese food so he had gone to pick it up at the closest Chinese restaurant. He said he was gone for about 20 minutes. When he returned home she had passed away in her sleep.  It was very difficult for me as we were so close and I desperately needed to know that she was in a better place and that she was safe and maybe happy.  I prayed every night for her to be happy and with God.  I rarely if ever remember my dreams. It's very uncommon for me if I do. Two months after my mother passed I was having a dream and my mother appeared in the dream. I was standing on a very long road.  It was surrounded by green grass.  As I look to my right I see a small, orange-ish, square-shaped vehicle driving toward me on that road. It pulls up in front of me and there are four people inside. I vaguely acknowledge that there are four people because in the passenger seat is my mother. She looks to be in her thirties she's wearing some makeup and she is absolutely beautiful. You can see the happiness and peace on her face, in her eyes.  She said to me, 'I'm happier now than I ever was in life'.  She gave me her beautiful smile as the car pulled away and went down the road. I woke up right after.
