I have to admit that I chuckled, although if that had happened to me - hearing that in the middle of the night, I would probably have expired, on the spot! holy moly!
That is a great story, mainly because it's true, and you told it very realistically. Congratulations on winning the contest and for getting All Time Best! very good!

    Thank you. It scared the crap out of me at the time, but when I thought about it later, I wasn't surprised. He would never have left without letting me know how he felt about it.

Congratulations on your well deserved win! I quite believe this, it brought back a memory of my late husband, he died of liver and lung cancer, he only had 6 weeks from diagnosis and his death. That was 40 years ago. I dreamt he was walking out of the cemetery shouting for me, telling me he hadn't died. He was buried. That dream stayed with me for a long time. My two young boys were the ones who kept me sane. I love your husbands strong believe that he was never going to die until he was good and ready! Well done! :)) Sandra

    Thank you, and thanks for sharing your story. My experience was not a dream. I was wide awake after Des's first yell. The dog heard him too. He never came back as strong again, but I often felt his presense. He seems to be gone now. Des was an ornery old fart, but I loved him.

I believe it was his spirit, and animals can sense things also, I also believe people have a right to live the way they want, if he had gone for check ups , the cancer would have been caught early. yet we all have our destiny on this earth.

    Thank you, and thanks for the six stars. Yes, I never doubted for a second that Des was there that night. He was extremely strong willed. I miss the ornery old fellow.

I enjoy this supernatural story and the humor:
He told me nothing was wrong with him and how dare I burn him like garbage (his words).

No wonder you won the contest. This is well written. I hope he wouldn't come back again. It's a little spooky.

Well done

    Thank you. Des has never come back that strong, but I do sense his presense now and then. I didn't doubt for a minute, Des was there that night.

    Thank you. Des was a difficult person, but we got along well. Mostly, because I ignored his macho ways.

Sorry for your loss. This is a well-written entry to the supernatural encounter, and I can see why you won. The text is a good size. The story is told in a sequential order that makes sense. You said in your AN you got along well, but the fact you describe him as having a narcissistic manner and his last spiritual encounter was not loving makes that hard to believe. He sounds like a very difficult man to have lived with daily. The visual fits perfectly. This is a well-done story.

    Thank you. Actually, we did get along quite well. If he started on one of his rants I would simply walk away. I even changed him into a cat lover in our years together. Des could be difficult, and made a lot of enimies, but I would not put up with his nasty attitude. Thank you for the six stars. I appreciate them.

    I am glad you managed to live under those conditions with minimal stress. You are welcome for the six. It was a well-written piece.

The main thing I retain in your true story is the bold and courageous woman you are!!! It's not easy to deal with a loved one who, like most men, is 'matcho'!!! You have penned a beautiful and tender story of love and faithfulness.
Great job!!

    Thank you. Des was not an easy person to live with or even like. I refused to put up with his nasty attitude, so he finally realized it didn't get him anywhere with me. Most of the time Des was quite human areound me. He softened up over the years, and I changed him into a cat lover in our time together.

This was a bit creepy, given Pup also seemed to think that something was up. If Des was able to come back to yell at you for burning him, then he certainly was a willful person!

This is a well-told story and should do well in the contest. I wonder, if you win, if Des will congratulate you on it - perhaps even think it's because it's about him:-)

I'm sorry for your loss; hopefully, things have gotten better for you and you and your furry family have adjusted to his absence.

Take care,
Pam

    Thank you. There is no doubt my mind that Des was there that night. You're right, Des probably does think I won because of him.

The spirit world is all around us. If you pay attention, throughout your life you will have contact with spirits from time to time. You should do well in the contest.

    Thank you. I agree, the spirit world is around us. There was never a doubt in my mind that Des was angry because he dies and wanted me to know it.

I read this because I know something about speaking to the dead. Those who are in Christ are not dead but very much alive. Hope your man knew the Lord. Good write.

    Thank you. Des was not religious in any manner. However, one of Des's friends came to the hospital and prayed with Des to ask for forgiveness. It surprised me Des agreed to do so. I think maybe he felt he better ask for forgiveness just in case.
