I would want to see my Mom and my hubby's father. I feel my Mom's warmth around me all the time! She has been gone 15 years now.
When I met my hubby, I just knew that she sent him to me somehow some way!
Here is that story (short version!)

My Mom's name was Kevin Rae...(what my Gram was thinking naming a girl that is beyond me....) So growing up, she always teased me saying she knew I was gonna marry a man that shared her name! So when I met Ray, I think I just knew she was saying this is your future hubby! And...well we have been married almost 2 years now!

Then 2 weeks before our wedding, my hubby's father suffered a massive heart attack that left him brain dead, and we had to make the decision to take him off the ventilators 4 days later. So we had to have the funeral 1 week before our wedding day. But during the funeral service, we noticed that one of the lights hanging from the ceiling was like swinging back and forth, but as soon as we were about to leave the church, it wasn't swinging any more. Very strange.

On our wedding day, as we were sitting on the altar during all the readings, the light started swinging again...And it was swinging for the rest of the ceremony. We can even see it on our DVD of our wedding. So whenever we go to Sunday services now, we wait and hope the light starts swinging, but it NEVER does...

Then this was something I was told after the ceremony...

Our church has 2 main entrances from outside. One is the very front, which those doors are rarely used and are usually locked, and the side front doors, which is what they use all the time!
So our photographer was standing by the very front doors, and our Priest was telling everyone about the flowers on the altar we had in rememberance of his Dad and my Mom, and as he was saying this, the very front doors actually opened very slowly (mind you, there was no wind or anything, and those doors are locked and are also very heavy....) Out photographer was a bit freaked and was like...Come on in then...and all of a sudden they closed. He thought he imagined it, but my friend also saw it.....Very strange....

After the ceremony, we did pictures and all that good stuff...and my Mom's friend was the one who did all the singing. Our choir room is upstairs so I didn't get to see her at all before the ceremony. But she came down and she pulled me aside, and said she had a dream last night aboiut my mom. She said that my Mom came to her and said that she was going to be at the church and there will definately be a signs that she is there. And she thought it was the light swinging! Now she told me this before my photographer told me about the door incident! So when I was told that by my mom's friend, then I was told about the doors opening... Now I knew for sure she was there! I could just feel her warmth all around me!!!

Also, we took pics at this other place that was outddors! They came out very awesome!!!! And our Photo guy put them on a slide show to play during the reception. All were great and nothing out of the ordinary....
We get a call from him 2 weeks later saying our proofs are done and wanted us both to come. Ok...whatever made him happy. So we go in and he shows us the proofs which were the same ones he showed at the reception. There was this one prrof with all kinds of light images around it. They didn't show up on the negatives or on the computer. Only on the printed pics! So he blew one up for us, and you can actually see all the signs in the pic. Looks like2 sets of angel wings, a huge cross above us. We showed our priest and he was just in awe of this pic too. My MIL counted 9 signs, but I can only see about 5 of them.

So I do believe in signs from the spiritual world. My wedding day sure was filled with lots of them!!!!!!!!!

Sorry so long!
