Jimmy
(NOTE: This event occurred in 1969, in
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.)
My Dad's
brother Jimmy died in a violent car crash at the age of 21 about a month or two after I
was born. He was so young and kind and handsome and had such a bright future, that this
was a devastating blow to everyone in the family. My Mom often said he was the only
relative of my Dad's that she was truly comfortable with and she felt a real bond with
Jimmy. A week or so after he was killed, she was at home and had just put me, my brother
and sister down for a nap. She went into the living room for some peace and quiet. She
admits Jimmy was heavy on her mind at the time. She looked over at a rocking chair in our
living room and saw Jimmy sitting there, smiling at her. For the first few seconds, her
brain didn't process that he was dead and *couldn't* be sitting in front of her. As she
realized she was seeing something amazing, she said she closed her eyes and shook her head
to clear it, to see if she was just seeing things. When she opened her eyes and looked
again, he was gone, but the chair was rocking noticeably, as if someone had just gotten
out of it. As she thought over the experience, she realized he had a smile on his face,
and she felt he came to let her know that he was OK, and she shouldn't be so sad. And she
said it worked too! She felt reassured that he was at peace.
