Sitting in the dark half awake half asleep, I a dark shadow leaning on my china cabinet. I try to figure out the shape but I can not, the image is too blurry. I start to wonder if I'm hallucinating but that thought was determined when the mysterious and eerie shadow spoke.
I must admit the voice did sound familiar but I couldn't see the face to put a voice to it. I tried to ask who he was but the shadow said not to worry who he was and then he said that he was here to help me. I started to ponder what help I needed and I started to think and wonder what he was talking about. So then I finally got a word out and asked if he could tell me why he was here other then the fact that he's here to help. In a slow and grim voice he called out my name and said "Michael, I know you have thoughts of suicide, you think that you are a nothing in life, lastly I know that you think that you will never find love like you felt with Maddie. But you will love again, she is out there and she dose exist. Don't ask me who it is or what she looks like but just know this; have faith my boy. Have faith." All of a sudden I realized who was talking to me and I haven't seen him in over 12 years. "Grandpa Fisher? Is that you?" I silently called out in a whisper and with tears in my eyes with a lump in my throat behind my tears. Then with out a blink the shadow grow brighter and brighter as the image of the figure becomes clearer. "My boy it has been way too long since the day of my passing and you have become more of a better man then me. I am proud of you and I have never said that as a father or as your grandfather but throughout the years I have been keeping a close eye on you and your sister both. I wasn't able to save your sister from your father's manipulation but I was able to save you. God has blessed me on giving me the responsibility of being your guardian angel and I wouldn't have any other way. But, to get back to the topic on hand, I understand that you don't feel like your normal. Your right, you're not but you are special. Let me give you a little insight on your future and I think it will raise your spirits, I know for fact that love for you is hard and stressful. I know that the last lover you had done you wrong one too many times and I'm sorry but that's life. You will have your good moments were you feel deeply in love and you will have your depressing moments were you feel as if you're better off in your grave. But, in the near future you will meet someone who is innocent, kind hearted, beautiful and lovely to be around with. She will come to you and all you have to do is be patient, she will come sooner than you think." I couldn't believe my ears and I can feel the pits of my heart fade away, and then I start to cry. I haven't cried that hard since the day my grandfather died. I thought I was going to die because my heart was pounding with life and light. He put his hand on my heart and I felt the warmth of his hand relieve my tender heart's darkness.
With in an hour of being with my grandfather I felt a strange sensation in my head and all a sudden I felt light headed, my grandfather said "Well my boy, it's time for me to get back with the father up above. Just remember if you ever need me I'm always at your side. Oh, the boss man gives his regards and said to live life with an open heart." As I watched him disappear into a ball of light and the next thing I knew I was sitting in my bed at the back of the house. I started to ask myself if that was a dream until I felt my pillow and it was soaked but I thought it was from sweating. The next day I couldn't believe my ears when I was asked out and realized that what happened the night before was true and I became very happy and faithful to know that I have my grandfather as my guardian angel.
