Last Goodbyes from Beyond

Mother Approves the Marriage

In December of 1980, my girlfriend (now my wife), and her two children, ages 8 and 10, had come to visit me and her sister during the Christmas holidays. One afternoon we were lying on my bed talking. We had both just come away from bad marriages about the same time the previous summer. We weren't discussing anything in particular when the subject of marriage came up. We were lying on our sides facing each other, when I saw a beautiful Native American lady in a blue dress - or had a blue aura about her - suddenly appear on the bed behind my girlfriend. The lady turned, looked at me and smiled.

"Wow!" I said, and my girlfriend went stiff in my arms. She asked me to describe what I had seen, and I told her. She told me that I had seen her mother, who had been dead for several years. I had never seen a picture of her mother, but she said that I had described her mother perfectly, and that she had been buried in a blue dress. We took this as a blessing, and three days later we were married. - by Spirit Wolf

Dad Checks Her Out

My sister Lorraine has been with her high school sweetheart, Bruce, for 13 years now. They were married in 1998 and have a precious baby daughter. At the age of 15, and approximately six months before she met Bruce, she was asleep one night in our parents' home when she was awakened by the feeling of a presence in her bedroom. She was lying on her back and opened her eyes to see a man's face suspended above hers and smiling down at her. She described a feeling of total peace and calmly smiled back at him. The face did not appear ghostly white or transparent, but rather pink and fleshly like a normal human face. He had brown hair, brown eyes and a jolly round face. She looked at him for a while and then rolled over and went back to sleep. She thought about the face for a while thereafter, but as it didn't disturb her in any way, she soon put it in the back of her mind.

A few months passed and she met Bruce. They fell instantly in love and the time came for her first visit to his home to meet his family. Bruce met her at the front door and welcomed her into the entrance hall. On the wall directly in front of her was a collection of framed family photographs. In the center of the group, and occupying the most prominent position, was a photo of Bruce's father, who she knew had died in a car accident a year earlier. It was the face she had seen months before! She turned cold and started shaking. Bruce noticed and asked her what was wrong. "Nothing," she replied, to which he responded, "You look like you've seen a ghost!" About five years later, she decided to tell him the story. Bruce just smiled, and with a tear in his eye replied, "That's typical of my father to come and check out my future wife." - by Janice B.
