My Grandma died when I was 17. We were very close and she taught me how to bake. I used to stay there regular.
She died suddenly in her sleep, none of us were expecting it.
In the weeks before her death, she said loads of times she was getting around to buying me a st Christopher necklace but this never happened.
Some years later, I dont know if it was a dream or if I was awake, she came to me, sat on my bed next to me and told me to go buy myself a st Christopher. I wasn't scared, I felt calm. So, I went out and bought myself one, it cost £20
A few years after this, she visited again. I actually felt her hand on my shoulder this time, she told me to buy a scratch card. This isn't something I'd normally do, the same day I went and bought one.. i won £20 on it!
The chain is now hanging from the rear view mirror in my car.
I've had no visits since the last time but I can smell her. She always smelled like vanilla.
The full day when I started my new job, thats all I could smell. And a few times when I've been with my BF he said he could smell vanilla too.
I like to think she's with me helping me through life. I was truly heartbroken when she passed.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
