Dead Grandpa

August 29, 1991, my paternal grandfather died. 

I was never really close to my grandfather, he just 
had too many grandchildren. 

On the night of January 18, 1992, a few months after 
his death, I dreamt of him.

I was at the 2nd floor of their house. I saw my 
grandfather's room, the door was slightly open, the 
lights were out but there was a lighted candle in 
his room. I looked inside and saw my grandfather in 
his rocking chair.

In my dream, I knew he was dead but I was not afraid, 
I just found it odd that he was there. So I went down 
the stairs, and there at the living room, I saw him 
again, he was watching my family (my grandparents, 
my parents and my uncles and aunts) talk in the dining 
room.

Apparently, I was the only one who could see him, my 
family kept on talking. So I left the house and went 
to my cousin's house, which was just beside my 
grandparents' house. All my cousins were there, and 
there, we all saw our grandfather.

He told us, "you have forgotten me already." That was 
the end of the dream. When I woke up, I relayed the 
dream to my mother and she said, "It's your 
grandfather's birthday today." I never knew when my 
grandfather's birthday was until then. 

That day, we went to my grandparent's house. My mom 
told my grandmother about my dream and we found out 
that my grandfather's sister had a similar dream.
