When my daughter was about 4 years old, her cousin died.

It happened in Germany,

the child had fallen from a 

high story window. She was

not much older than my child. 

      She was brought back to the Quad Cities,

(where we live) for burial.

Being my

daughter was so young, and

had barely known her cousin, we

decided not

to tell her of the death.

   About a week after the funeral, my husband

and I were watching t.v in

the living room, it was

about 11 pm, our daughter

was in bed.

    She walks out of the bedroom,

looks at us and announces, "There is a

ghost in my bedroom"

She didn't say this like a child

who just awoke from a nightmare,

she

said it so calmly, it gave me chills.

   Before I was even able to ask her

 what she saw, she returned to

her bedroom, we followed.

My daughter pointed to a corner,

and said " I woke up, there was a

little girl, with white all around her.

She was holding my baby (she

called dolls babies) she stood up,

came over and gave me a kiss,

told me

that she loved me, and her name,

and then she said, that she

came to tell me

goodbye."

   I asked my daughter if the ghost

said anything else.  "Yes she told

me her name, and her birthday.

  I asked my daughter who it was,

she replied "It was my dead cousin

Karen."

I asked her what the birthday

was (I myself didn't know when Karens

birthday was, how could

my daughter know?)

   I called my sister, and asked her

when Karen's birthday was. My child

was indeed correct.

 How can I not believe my child,

she didn't even know

Karen had died.

 My daughter ended up saying

Karen was an angel,

not a ghost, and just needed

to say goodbye.

My daughter is now 10 years

old, she believes in Angels,

she believes in ghosts. She believes

in the gift of sight. She believes it was given

to her. She believes it is a gift she'll forever have.

 Feel free to email me,

(in fact I'd love to hear from you)

with your thoughts of this story.
