My Visit With Mary

My step-daughter Mary passed on September 20, 2006 at the age of 27. It was a very difficult time in my life but it brought me to a new spiritual understanding. I miss her and will always love her very much.

One of the first things that happened to me after my step daughter passed happened about a week after. I was dreaming. In this dream my family and I were sitting on the floor in a dimly lit room. We were talking about Mary. There was someone sitting in my lap but she had her back to me and I didn't notice who she was. I was telling my family that I didn't get a large enough lock of Mary's hair to make a braid. The person sitting in my lap then said that I could have a lock of her hair to add to Mary's. She then said "See it matches." That is when I looked at this person and realized it was Mary. She looked the way she did when she was a young girl. Happy and cheerful without the pain she had before she passed. I was so happy to see her and I grabbed her and hugged her. Then a brilliant light came and started to envelope her. I tried to hold on to her but the light grew stronger. It was taking her away. I was so upset that I woke up with my arms outstretched. The light was still there in my room. So bright I could not open my eyes. I felt a warmth heating up my chest. I was so afraid that I pulled away from the light. I lay there in my bed until the room got dark and the warmth was gone. It was then that I could open my eyes and saw that my room was as it should be.
It wouldn't be until a few months later that I would find out what this was. It is called an ADC ( After Death Communication). What I was experiencing was Mary going to the Light. I feel so blessed that Mary shared this experience with me. I only wish I hadn't been afraid at the time. Maybe I am not meant to see the Light yet.
