I was living in a bad situation where I was depressed, lonely and poor. I rented a room in a dump because it was all I could afford at the time. I was in my 20s and going to college but I had no friends and was always so lonely that it made me contemplate suicide. One night, after I cried myself to sleep praying that I wouldn’t wake up, I had a dream that I was walking down the aisle at my wedding (I was single at the time and didn’t think in a billion years that I would ever get married so the dream was weird). As I was walking down the aisle all I could see was my grandma sitting in the front row smiling at me and when I got to the end she told me to not give up and that life had wonderful things in store for me but I just had to be patient and everything would fall into my lap.
I woke up to the phone ringing at 6 in the morning. It was my dad calling to say that my grandma had passed away. This happened 14 years ago and I am now happily married and am out of my crappy situation. I’m not poor or lonely anymore and I’m always usually happy. Grandma was right! I still to this day can’t believe it and never tell anyone this story because no one would ever believe me.i did tell my husband though.
