I got a digital camera for Christmas and I have taken hundreds of pictures. But, since moms death, we have seen things in lots of these pictures. There are often circles of light on or near us in the pictures. We have also seen mists and shapes. I have never been a believer but what else could these be??

Also, because I live over an hour away from the cemetery, I usually take a picture while I am there. I went to my parents house after and downloaded the pictures into the laptop. As I was showing the pictures to my dad, we heard an alarm go off. My dad said that he had never heard it before. We followed the sound to his bedroom and to our surprise, it was my moms bedside alarm clock ringing! My dad has his own on his bedside and he forgot that she even had it on her side. I picked it up and looked at it, the button to turn the alarm on was in the off position. My dad and I stared at it and each other for quite a while. Then, I told him that I didn't want to have to take the battery out to turn it off, and as I said that, it stopped and hasn't made another sound. Afterwards, we also realized that it was on the right time. In April all the clocks in the house were set ahead an hour for daylight savings time, except for moms clock, that dad had forgotten about.
