Who Would You Visit?

14 October 2004, 6 am | Poser

My brother told me about this dream he had of our mom shortly after she had died back in 1993 of ALS. In this dream, she looked happy and healthy. She basically told him that she was alright, and that everything would be okay.

Every now and then, I play around in my head this little fantasy game. I would like to hear your thoughts on this question:

After you died, if God granted you one and only one visitation through a dream to anyone back on earth, who would it be, what would you say, and why?

  1. If my dh was still living, I would come back to him and tell him it's all real (Heaven, etc) and that his job was to believe that and to continue to teach the kids about it (if they were not grown up already). I'd want to do it in such a way that he ...

  1. Just one person?

    If Liesa was still alive I’d want it to be her. To encourage her and give her some guidance at getting through the rest of her days.

    I worry about this a lot actually having a chronic illness, you tend to consider your own mortality a bit more seriously.

    I worry I’ll die before she does and I worry how she’ll care for the children and how she’ll cope emotionally.

    I would have to hang around some :).

  2. That’s really a tough one. It’s easy, if I go before the Fish does. I would go to him. Offer much of the same as what he said above.

    If the Fish wasn’t here, I would go to a dear friend of mine, and tell her I love her and that she’ll be alright and that everything will be ok.

    She’s like an adopted daughter to us, and unfortunately doesn’t live with us, so I don’t get to offer her the same as our own children get.

  3. If I had died before my family, I would hope that God would grant me five visitations to each of my intermediate family members. I could offer them no advice for the days to come, but I would let them know that I lived each day of my life loving them and would continue to do so in the afterlife. Why? Because in the end, love is the only thing worth knowing.

  4. Interesting question and I imagine the answer would change depending on what’s happening in your life and those of others. I have a friend whose son died when he was around 2 or 3. He told me that he has had periodic dreams ever since where he and his son talk. The son always is the age he would have been had he not died and kept growing. These dreams are very comforting to my friend, as I’m sure his son means them to be. Anyway, I digress.

    At this moment, it would have to be whichever of my parents would actually consider this dream might be a real communication … they both are atheists and I’d want to use that opportunity to try to open their eyes to a real and living God.

  5. I would want to visit with my wife

    I would tell her that, while I was overjoyed to be in heaven, I was also looking forward to her coming so that I could know her like I was never even able to know her on earth.
