13. Fire
My step dad kept insisting his feet were on fire.
14. Haircut
I went to my ex’s funeral, and while I was there I was told that he had gone to get his hair cut the day before he died.
While there he told the beautician that he needed to get his hair cut because he wanted to look nice for his funeral.
15. “Come in.”
I had a bone marrow failure disease (Aplastic Anemia) and was in the hospital for a stem cell transplant.
I was extremely sick, and it took weeks for the new stem cells to “graft.”
One night, while I was sleeping, my mom heard a knock at the door and said, “Come in.”
No one opened the door, but suddenly, my mom thought of a little boy we knew named Parker who had passed maybe a year or two earlier.
She said, out loud, “You can play with her, but you can’t take her.”
That same night I had also dreamt about Parker.
16. Together
My grandma told me about a couple, she knew them of course; they were married and lived in the same nursing home but in separate rooms.
When the old lady was on her deathbed, she told the nurses that when she died, she would take her husband with her, and before the nurses could bring him to her, she died.
So, the nurses went to his room to tell him about her death, and they found him in his bed, dead.
That kinda freaked me out…
17. “I’m not going to make it.”
My dad was dealing with mesothelioma. He had just come home from the hospital after a bout with pneumonia.
He got up from his chair, and I helped him to the bathroom. When he came out, I was helping him to his chair, when he just looked at me and said, “I’m not going to make it!”
He was gone before he hit the floor.
18. “The Door.”
My grandma was in the hospital in the respite unit. She had been there only a few hours. She had been given a shot to calm her, although it didn’t do much good.
She was very restless. She was quiet for the most part, but then she kept saying, “The Door, the door.”
Finally my mom said, “What about the door?”
Grandma said, “Open. Door. Open.”
Mom said, “Mom, the door is open.”
Grandma settled down and was gone within a few minutes after that.
19. Call your Grandmother.
My great-grandmother’s last words were, “I just wanted to see my family one Christmas.”
She died 12/26/2011.
Only a few of us saw her that Christmas, and none of her children came.
This woman had no health problems and was just healthy as could be. It was awful finding her the next morning.
I miss that woman every day.
20. Diamonds and Stone
My nana sang, “Some Days are Diamonds, Some Days are Stone,” to all her loved ones surrounding her…
She then asked everyone to leave because she was tired.
When they had all left… she died.
I can still hear her singing.
21. “Answer the phone.”
I remember when my great grandfather passed at the age of 93.
He was under hospice care at my great uncle’s home. Myself, sisters and parents all had dreams of conversing and doing activities with him.
We were each told something different by him before he had to leave in the dream.
Just before sunrise everyone in the house awoke to his voice hollering, (in an informative way), to, “Answer the phone.”
I then remember lying there in bed and hearing The phone ring followed by my parents calling us into their room to tell us he had passed.
My siblings and I looked at each other and said, ” We know…” in unison.
Our parents asked us how, and we each talked about our dreams. Then, they told us theirs.
We know you can choose a lot of sites to read, but we want you to know that we’re thankful you chose Did You Know.
You rock! Thanks for reading!
