OK.
Yesterday morning I got up out of bed and went to get a cup of coffee. The kitchen counter had been cleaned off the night before by my sister and everything had been put away in the cupboard.
I saw that my coffee cup- the big black one (I have two- they are mine I am the only one who uses the big black cups) was sitting on the counter right next to the coffee pot.
I asked my sister if she had gotten it out for me and she said, "Nope."
Last night my sister had a paranormal experience while I was at work and said it was OK for me to post about it on here.
She said she was sitting on the living room couch watching television (shiver) while I was at work. She heard footsteps walking down the hallway and behind her into the kitchen. She then heard the cupboard open and distinctively heard the sound of a mug being placed on the counter.
She got up and went into the kitchen and saw that the cupboards were closed and there was no coffee cup on the counter...
Hmmmmm....

I'm sure you know that I'm a believer in this Lorelei as it has happened to me and other people also. It's just something we don't understand yet but I'm sure we will in time. Just to rule out any other possibilities, was anyone else in the house ?

Just my sister and my mom- and my mother was apparently asleep when this happened. I was at work. ~shrug~

Personally, I wondered how long your sister was going to be around. I kind of wondered how her presence might affect things at the house, seeing as you have had quite an unusual year. . . and of course hoping that she was helpful.

I think that IMO we can judge an interaction with ANYTHING - according to the behavior. If it isn't harmful - then relax. If you feel bad about it but nothing is happening (I would include intense fear here) then relax and "get" the message.
Your Dad was out of it his last days. Maybe he wanted to have a quiet moment with you. Pour him a cup of coffee, open your heart and listen for a little while. Then go do your daily doing.
Here is a personal story that I haven't told here. I had a close friend and she died of cancer in a frighteningly short period of time. She "arranged" that myself and another friend be with her on the day she died - she sent the closer circle of caregivers and her children to the lake that day. Myself and another woman who did know each other were to keep her company. She immediately began to actively die as soon as the cars left the driveway (she had assured everyone she would be fine.). The public health nurse came for her scheduled visit and took me aside and said, "Why don't you tell her to wait until her sons get here on Friday?" (it was Weds). I looked her in the eyes and said, "You tell her that if you wish. I won't." I went back to her side and watched her breathing slow and the spaces between lengthen. That's why I was there! To just let it be.
Anyway, I was on the beach afterwards and I was crying. I missed her so much. And I realized that I had grabbed a handful of sand and was clutching it as hard as I could. But it was running out of my hand anyway. I got it! I opened my cramped hand and said to her, "I'm sorry I keep calling you."
There was a long long silence in my mind and then she said, "Don't worry about that. I can come when you call me. But its not good for you to cling to me. You have to move on." I open my hand and no more than ten grains of sand were left. I never called and never heard from her again. (She is still a wise woman in my heart).

Thanks Paulette for sharing your story.
JC- it seems my sister is going to stay here "forever". Her kids will be arriving tomorrow morning (very early). My sister and her husband had to scrimp and save in order to be able to afford a plane ticket for them since the military wouldn't do it.
I guess my sister's husband will be going overseas and my sister and the kids will be staying in the house with us... at least this is how I understand what is going on... ~shrug~

This COULD be a good thing. More people to split the expenses. Or. Another reason to move out.

This COULD be a good thing. More people to split the expenses. Or. Another reason to move out. My sister and I are essentially supporting our mother at the moment- because she hasn't gotten her survivor benefits or dad's life insurance yet... these things take time... and we are running very low on money... since I spent all of my savings on the last trip down to the big city to pay for hotel rooms while dad was in the hospital... It's also -40 outside and the heating fuel bill is insanely high... so is the electric bill because we have to plug in the cars at night now to keep them from freezing up because we don't have a garage... And we will soon have two children in the house and my sister is going to be homeschooling them... a 10 year old and an 8 year old... Yes... I would like to move out... but I need money. I do have a friend who lives in the big city who might let me live with him while I go back to school in that area... maybe... Right now I'm just happy I am able to afford gas for my car and cigarettes... (just barely) and the occasional hot dog off the roller grill at work...

I hear you. None of us have unlimited choices (whatever The Secret people might say) and you and your sister are doing what has to be done. I like that you are thinking about a future in which you go back to school and live elsewhere. Don't let go of that!

My eight year old nephew is asleep right now in the very spot I was asleep when I was eight years old and when the grays appeared in my living room... Awww man... the emotions I am feeling right now... the boy looks and acts just like me too- he also has nightmares, insomnia, and is afraid of the dark... They'd better not be messing with him too...

I wonder if the children realize I would throw myself in front of a train for either or both of them... probably not huh?

I don't really know what to say. Except - if he needs comforting in the night, you will get up, look out the window with him, hug him, make hot chocolate and listen to him nonjudgementally. That makes all the difference in the world to any story he might tell later...

About a month after my dad died, the strange events in my house increased. Including one night when I felt someone/thing sit on the bed next to me. I took comfort in this and saw this as his way to let me know he might be gone, but he hasn't left me.

That makes all the difference in the world to any story he might tell later... ~nods~ The night before I heard him squirming in the living room and I got up and talked to him. He told me he had trouble sleeping at night and I told him, "So do I kiddo. I have to take medicine to help me sleep at night because I have that problem too." I thought about giving him a half a Benadryl but I decided not to. I might do it if he has this problem again- with his mother's permission of course... a cup of warm milk might help him too... No vodka though- that's what mom used to give me when I had that problem as a child...

Good to see you again honey- I hope all is going well with you. ~hugz~
