Sudden Realization

 I came from a trip to France and I was walking down the streets to my house when I saw my friend Tammy she was all dress in white clothes.  I asked her the place she was going to but she just continued on walking. What is up with her that is all I could think of so I decided to continue on my walk.

I passed by the bakery and smelled the sweet aroma of the bread.  After that, I decided to come in the bakery and there I saw Tammy she was buying something.  I tried to talk to her but she did not say a thing.  I asked the man in the bakery what did Tammy buy and he said that she had bought a cake for someone’s death anniversary but he could not remember the name.  This was something weird for me because I knew that no one died from her family or maybe someone did while I was away for two years.

I went to Tammy’s house and asked where she is.  The woman from that house said that she went to someone’s death anniversary.

Now I was passing by the flower shop on my way home after all that had happened when I thought of buying some flowers for our house and there I saw Tammy once more buying a flower for someone.  That type of flower found at someone’s death.  I tried to follow her until she led me to my house where there was a collage of my pictures in front of our house.

There were people in our house like my family and my close friends they were all there praying and talking on what kind of person I was.  I saw my mother and asked what was happening but she walked straight to a jar with someone’s cremated body, beside there I found my picture.

Then suddenly I had a vision there was plane about to crash everyone was shouting and there I was in the plane holding on to my seat praying.  I realized that I was the one in the jar and I was just a spirit trapped in the world of the living maybe because I was not at peace I forgot to bid farewell to my family and friends.  I then remembered the man from the bakery he could talk to me.

I went back to the bakery and told the man to tell my family and relatives to bid farewell and he understood because he had encountered some spirits like me.  Therefore, I accompanied him to my house and after he told my parents that I bid farewell to them a light shining from the sky shone at my place.  Suddenly I had a light feeling and I was going up to heaven.
