“When my eldest son was almost 2, he would occasionally cry out at night.

Sometimes he would be hysterical and he would say ‘the mean old lady’ was scaring him.

He stopped crying suddenly and leaned back from my shoulder so he could look me dead in the face.

He said, ‘Shes not afraid of you, Mommy.’

This was 23 years ago, and I still get goosebumps thinking about it.”

He stopped me and said, ‘Oh yeah, I remember that, it was dark in there.’

Excuse me, what?!”

I looked behind me and asked, ‘Who?’

She responded, ‘The man behind you.

He was with you in the kitchen, too.’

“My nephew was in the hospital for a year after he was born.

He’s always been the quiet one.

A wind chime on a tree

I was sleeping over one night when he was around 10 years old, and he came downstairs.

He said it so calmly and matter-of-factly.

Then he went back upstairs and went to bed.”

My then-6-year-old added, Ooh!

We could make a wind chime!”

It was the creepiest and also the sweetest thing my kids have said to me."

This is not a word we use in our daily vernacular, so I asked him what it meant.

‘It disappears,’ he said.

I was impressed and asked him where he learned that word.

He replied, ‘When I was an adult.’

I laughed and asked when he was an adult.

Without missing a beat, he answered, ‘Before I was born.'"

There was no one standing anywhere in the cemetery that I could see."

I was speechless and told her we should not take out our eyeballs.

Turns out he was also fully asleep."

“My 5-year-old has talked about his ‘first family’ for years.

He will randomly be doing something that must trigger a memory of them.

He’s always been consistent in his story.

He says that one day, he got sick and then came to live with us.
