Grandfather sees a little girl...

Hi all,

My grandfather is the most religious person I know. He was brought up Catholic, and once he retired from work he literally went to church every day. Being a strict Catholic he knows his beliefs, but he keep them to himself and never preaches, which I really respect.

He was 80 in December and has deteriorated fast since then. He's had rheumatoid arthritis for may years but over recent months it's really got the better of him and he's been bed ridden for around 6wks now. He's losing weight fast and is getting weaker by the day. It's so sad to see. I hope my grandfather is around forever, but I have to say, I think he only has a few weeks left in him.

While he believes in God, he doesn't believe in ghosts. Anyway, fast forward to today... he called my mother over, who has been living/caring for him for the past 3 months, and said that he doesn't really want to admit it but he's started seeing a little girl following my mum around the house. He said he's seen her twice today, and that she just follows my mum around.

Luckily my mum, like myself, is a very spiritual person and isn't too phased by this. I absolutely believe him tho, because he's of sound mind, and one of the most logical people I know. Is he only seeing this little girl because he's getting closer to crossing over? I'd appreciate any advice/insight/thoughts on this situation.

Thanks,
Light Child
