Last night I wrote about noticing strong perfume smells in my house while I was reading a book, and thinking it was probably my grandma who is ill and could die at any time. As I was writing that journal entry my watch alarm triggered at exactly 12:00 AM. I was quite surprised because it's not set for that and never beeps at that time.
Today I phoned my grandma and she's still alive. She told me that it's my aunt's birthday today. My aunt died a couple years ago. I think she came and made me aware of her presence, then watched me to go my computer to type about my grandma. When she realized I thought it was the wrong person she triggered my alarm so I'd become aware of the date. Unfortunately I didn't realize it's her birthday. But after discussing with family we now know it was my Aunt Shirley. I've had several other experiences throughout my life and now I think I'm convinced there is an afterlife.
