Inspiration - Happy Birthday to me

They say that when a spirit wants to connect with you, you either dream about them or smell them - just a scent.  My grandmother passed away nearly a year ago, and I haven't dreamed about her once since then.  Until now...  In the early morning of my birthday.  I was outside her old house, and I followed a little toddler into the house.  It was either my son or my cousin as a little boy.  As I entered the house grandmother was sitting on her couch in the den, smiling - laughing even - dressed the way she used to dress every day.  I said to her: "Grandmother, you're here!  You never left!"  She said:  "Oh no, I'm still here!"  And she laughed and I hugged her and she smelled just like she used to smell after she had had a shower.  Then I woke up.  I didn't feel sad or anything, I felt happy and loved.  My beloved grandmother found the way to congratulate me on my birthday.  I haven't dreamed about her again...
