Question:
I must have been in 3rd grade when it happened. I wasn’t sure who it was when I saw her but it was something or someone. She was just a little older then me. She came in through the window I remember because I was cold. I forgot my blanket and I was on the top bunk in the bedroom I shared with my younger brother, Jeremiah. I woke him up just before we saw her. I was trying to get him to get my blanket (what are little brothers for). Well, she was beautiful. She had red hair, a long white dress with a stripe along the bottom couple inches about 2 inches wide. I could not see her feet. Did she have feet? I don’t know. They could have been too transparent to see or just that the dress was too long to see. I remember her face. She looked puzzled or lost. I’m sure it was the same face I had on. I just couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Well, anyway, she floated in and stood there staring at us for a few minuets. How long I don’t really know, but it seamed like a few minuets. She was standing by the green vinyl couch we had in our bedroom. Then she turned and floated into the rest of the house. It was just a few minutes of my life, but it affected my thoughts for the rest of my life.

I first thought it was because I took a fly earlier that day and took the wings off and felt bad for him and tried to take care of him and put the poor little fly in a crack of the couch and fed him, but I never saw the poor little walk… a… I mean fly again. And the ghost came for the fly. Silly I know.

Later I believed and for years later I was sure it was my future daughter coming back to see her future father. It scared me. I mean why would she be that age unless that was the age she died years later. And a red head. Not me or anyone in my family has red hair. We all have dark brown almost black hair. How could I have a red head, unless I marry a red head hmmm that won’t happen! A red head? Is my future wife a red head?

No my future wife has brown hair almost as brown as mine so the odds of me with a red head was slim so who was she?

It’s a girl! We had our first child no red hair.
It’s a boy! Three more years later we had our second child. But wait! What color is the peach fuzz on that cute little head of his? Is it red! Wow I cant tell for shure but it looks like it might be. We would have to wait to see for sure but I think it may have been enough to make me almost pass out and render me useless for the rest of delivery. The doctors looked worried because he may have swallowed fluid or something like that, witch contributed to my wussyness im sure.

Wow does this mean I was right? Could I have a red haired girl? After talking to my grandpa black a few years later I discovered that he had red hair, when younger(wasent it always gray?). and wife maricia’s grandma was a red head. So it was genetically possible to have red heads(obviously). But after thinking bout it and talking to my mother I discovered she may have had a red headed child also. Dara would have been just a few years older then me. She died as a little baby and was born with less hair then Nathan my boy. So she had no idea what color her hair was. I will be willing to bet that it was and still is red. And that was dara tacking a tour of the house and checking up on her family.

Funny how I will never forget the look on her face when we saw each other and we were never on this earth that everyone knows at the same time.
