This event happened about ten years ago. It didn't happen
to me but to my niece (who we will call Sarah), who was
about 4 at the time.
I had a grandmother in Vietnam that my family was raising
money to bring over to live with us. My grandmother was
Sarah's great-grandmother but she never knew who she was or
what she looked like. One summer night my sister (Sarah's
mother, who we'll call Marie) passed by Sarah's room to see
her talking to the closet. Thinking nothing of it she went
back to her room. That night Sarah told Marie that there
was and old lady in her closet and that she said "I love
you. Tell your mother and grandmother I love them too."
Thinking it was Sarah's overacting imagination Marie
shrugged it off.
Two weeks later we got news that my grandmother had died in
Vietnam. Because of low money our family was unable to
call us at the time of her death but sent a letter which we
received two weeks after her death. My grandmother had
died the same night Sarah saw the old lady in her closet.
Keeping in Asian tradition we had the whole family over for
a vigil on my grandmother. There was a picture of my
grandmother on the mantel. When Marie and her family
arrived, Sarah ran directly to the picture and said, "Mommy
look that was the lady in my closet." Tears started
pouring from my mom and sister's faces.
Sarah is 14 now and she does not remember a thing. But my
mother believes it was my grandma trying to say she loved
her before she passed on.
