My dream of my late Grandmother…

By Miss Rara // Blog // No Comments

My Grandma Lita passed away from lung cancer May 22nd, 2002 and since then has been my inspiration to succeed in life.

I just woke up from a nap from a dream that I had of my Grandmother… and I am in tears! I dreamt that I saw her and as I shouted “Hi Lola!” I noticed this beautiful purple barong dress that I had given her. I gave her a hug and told her I missed her so much… then I woke up. I called my Dad right away in tears sharing my dream with him.

I was taken back and so overwhelmed because the hug I had given her felt so real. The last time she visited me in a dream was when I graduated from college. I remember when she was on her death bed she told me to promise her to finish school before I ever got married… and I did. Out of her 6 grandchildren I am the only one to have a college education. I kept my promise to her and when I graduated I was so sad that she wasn’t there to celebrate with me. The day before graduation I went to her grave with my Mom and my Dad to visit her and tell her that I did it. I remember crying in tears as Me, my Mom, and my Dad said a prayer for her. That following night she appeared in my dream for like 5 seconds. It was just an image of her in her favorite anchor shirt she wore all the time lol. She appeared in my dream to let me know she was there with me and it was very comforting.

I miss her and I’m happy to know she is still with me to this day. Maybe she came to visit me because the holidays are coming up. Or maybe she came to visit me because I’ve been thinking of her a lot lately. Especially since Jaycee brought me back a Jade bracelet from Taiwan (and he didn’t even know Jade touches a soft spot for me lol). Jade always makes me think of her because she was always proud to be half Chinese and made sure everyone knew that not only was she Filipina… she was Chinese too.
