I've been missing my Bailey a lot lately. Got myself a cute pair of black kitty flats in her honor. It's been almost 4 months since her passing and my eyes still water when I think of her. Does that ever go away?
But something amazing happened to me the other night. She came to visit me! In my dream, I felt something jump on our bed. I bolted upright to find my curious little kitty walking across the down comforter, bounding over to the window ledge. I gasped and woke up Hal beside me (in my dream). "Look love, look! It's Bailey!" Hal rubbed his eyes and mumbled out a "whoa". She leaped off the sill into my open arms. I breathed her in and gave her a few good long snuggles.
Then I really woke up. With a huge grin on my face. But what's even more strange? I grabbed my phone from the nightstand to check the time and a voice recorder app was open. The app I downloaded specifically to capture an audio file of Bailey's purr a few days before she passed. Here it is...
I had completely forgotten about the recording. Did I accidentally open the app in my sleep? Did her paw step on my phone? Ha. I don't know, but I was ecstatic. I had been trying to reach her in my dreams for the longest time. And she finally came through! Hearing her purr was the ultimate reassurance of her presence.
Have you ever gotten a visit from a deceased pet? I'm so curious if this is a common thing. Has anything like this every happened to you?
