Visions

My mother had visions. I never thought much about it; she had mentioned a few of them to me over the years and was so matter of fact and sincere about it that I never doubted her visions were real.

Her grandmother-in-law also had visions. I don't know anything about her visions but my mother told me about two visions concerning her first husband, a pilot in WWII, in which her grandmother-in-law appeared. Mom said these visions of the old woman, the only one of her in laws who seemed to care about her, were so real she thought the old woman was in the room with her, and reached out to touch her.

I'm sure there have been other people in our family who had visions but I haven't heard any stories about them. It was probably considered to be an embarrassment and was never talked about. I've always had very vivid dreams about people in my family, especially my mother after she died, but I've never thought they were visions. People who have visions know what they are.

I no longer believe in a life after death so I don't think the spirits of the unhappy dead are wandering around out there somewhere. But I do believe some people are able to see & hear visions of their beloved dead. How it happens I don't know but I believe today's scientists are getting close to explaining it.
