After a long illness my Nonna passed away less than 24 hours after the birth of my first little girl.  I am sure she held on until the next day so I wouldn&#039;t associate my daughter&#039;s birthday with the day she died, as my grandfather had died on my uncle&#039;s birthday and she had always lamented that. I also believe she knew my focus would be on my new baby and not on her passing, as we were very close and it was very difficult for me. Once we came home from hospital and I would get up through the night to feed, every so often my baby would come off the breast and look to the ceiling - always the same spot, no matter which chair I sat in - and smile. I often felt that there was someone else in the room with me too, and I can&#039;t explain that. Many doubters would say it was probably wind because a baby so young wouldn&#039;t smile yet but when the same thing happened with my second child, in my own mind, I really felt it was Nonna looking down on us and making my babies laugh, as she would do me as a child. I have no doubt our loved ones are around us and I take comfort in that, as I hope Michael&#039;s kids do too </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a believer, having had a wonderful experience after the passing of my grandmother.

It&#039;s believable because when my Dad passed away 10 years ago some strange things were happening in our home.My family background is Greek and soon after my Dad&#039;s passing, my Mum was singing these sad songs and dusting and cleaning around the house, with tears in her eyes. It was understandable because she lost her husband, her life partner of nearly 40 years. Only thing is my Dad hated anything morbid like wearing black continuously as is common in my family&#039;s culture and singing very morbid songs to express the loss of someone close.My children were very young at the time, my son was almost 3 and my daughter was 15 months. They had this little toy piano/organ thing where the keys were colour-coded. Now this really happened, my Mum has done her cross to swear that this happened as she got scared and walked outside.As Mum sung and cried while she did the housework, suddenly my kids&#039; musical toy played by itself about three strong, loud notes and no one else was in the house. My Mum stopped in her tracks, put down the duster and went outside, terrified. Somehow she knew it was Dad, he hated that kind of morbid chanting when he heard it for others, so I am sure he would not have wanted it for himself on his own passing.Also, he hated black clothing. If he saw me wearing more black than he thought was necessary, Dad always asked, &#039;Are you attending a funeral or something?&#039;, it always freaked him out. Ironically at his funeral the top I bought thinking it was black turned out to be a dark shade of navy blue. I was alone in my room changing back out of it when I saw the tag, and chuckled to my dad quietly, &#039;I know you have something to do with this mistake Dad&#039;.Apart from seeing a doorknob move by itself when my ex-husband and I were alone in the house when our kids were with their grandmother, I have not seen a ghost as such. Only creepy coincidences and sensing my father&#039;s presence, especially when I&#039;m driving.Personally I think God sends our loved ones in spirit to be with us so we can be comforted when we sense them near us. Some people are even lucky enough to see them before their eyes. I don&#039;t wish to impose my view on anyone, only to express my agreement with those who feel the same way as I do about the subject. </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have an eerie feeling that it may have been MJ in the background after watching the filmclip.
