Came to visit mama at her "new" house. The house was about 80
years old.........the last owners were a brother and sister who had
taken the house over when parents died.
Sister had died in hospital...brother had died in the house...in the 2nd bedroom.
I was into my 2nd day of a high fever and a terrible flu. would not go to Dr---stupidity. I awoken to a sweet wonderful figure standing at the foot of my bed.....mama had gone for the day....I did become frightened...he had the face of an angel....round face...serene face, and soft comforting eyes. he was dressed in the sort of jacket you would see on all European men...everyday dress..slightly rumpled, but neat. He smiled....he floated away.
I went to sleep. my fever went down...I got well.
I went to my house in Italy.....thousands of miles from mama in South Bend Indiana USA.......... my youngest child was born....he had cystichygroma and was needing surgeries and the prognosis was death............I had a fitful sleep there in the hospital after giving birth.....I awoken to a wonderful feeling ...and there at the end of my bed was the "man"....same face, same serene smile, same rumpled but neat jacket...I felt peace ...went to sleep and when I awakened, I imagined I had dreamed it. The Dr came and said that my baby would be well...but needed years of surgery. I was no longer worried............................many years passed....
