When an Angel Visits

The other night I had a dream that my grandfather was here. I had a dream he was standing right infront of me and when I woke up, I couldn't shake the feeling that he visited me. This is kinda impossible since my grandfather passed away almost two years ago. He passed away after a short battle with cancer and that experience of losing him has shaped my life greatly.

My Papa used to tell me he was proud of me. He would say "Proud of ya" to me when I would do well in school or accomplish something new in life. I've always said I have the best guardian angel looking out for me all the time. Recently in life things have been going really well and I can imagine his voice now if he were still here. I can hear his laugh and his family dinner time prayers. I can still smell his amazing italian food that nothing will ever compare to.

Through some recent times in my life that decided my future, I wore a necklace my Papa gave me. It's a beautiful cross and it reminded me of his compassionate and honest ways. It reminded me that I have the best guardian angel looking out for me and no matter how my life turned out, I knew I was making my Papa happy. I know he is looking out for me and protecting me from anything or anyone that is not meant to be in my life. With these new amazing things happening in my life, I knew my guardian angel was looking out for me. I knew he guided my actions and words to exactly what they needed to be.

When I woke up from my dream the other night, it felt real. It felt as if my Pop was really there reminding me of how proud of me he was. It felt real. So when I asked my mom is she believed that people who have passed away could come to us in dreams she answered absolutely. I started crying at that moment as I realized my Pop had come to me for the first time since he had passed away that I knew of.

So if you ever doubt that someone who has passed away is looking out for you, know they are. Know they are guiding you every step of the way and are looking out for you. Just because they left Earth doesn't mean they aren't still in your heart.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
