Stuff after Grandpa died.........HipChik

My husband's stepfather passed away in June of this year. He was a very moral, decent and kind person, and since my parents do not live here, and my hubby's real father does his own thing, this was my children's one 'true' grandpa.

We are the type of family that calls our family members what the kids do, so we called him grandpa, too - (like I call my hubby Daddy, most of the time).

Anyway, after he passed, one day we were over there moving stuff around because my mother-in-law was moving. Grandpa always sat in a chair next to this massive, roll-top desk, and I was walking by it minding my own business, when I heard his voice. I am not exactly sure what he said, but I heard him. I whirled around and saw my hubby and his mom talking, but I was too far away to hear them, so I know it wasn't them. It didn't hit me until later what I may have heard.

Later than evening, I was talking to my mom-in-law, and I asked her if she has seen or heard anything. She said, "All the time. He calls my name, and leaves me messages on the desk."

I asked her to elaborate about the messages, and she said since he always did all of their finances, she has had to go through all the paperwork and it has been a siege for her to find everything she needed. She would leave a bill on the table, and later it would have some little note written on it, like a money amount, or "bottom drawer".

I was intrigued to say the least, but it is hard for her to talk about, so I don't get to often, since he passed so recent. None-the-less, it was extremely comforting to me to know that he is SOMEWHERE.

hasn't really.
