Gentle Presence

I don't know who it is that is with me, I think it is a grandfather, but all my grandfathers died before I was born. My first experience was 13 years ago at my parents' house. I was asleep on my side and felt someone sitting on my bed beside me, he wore dark clothing and had blond hair, he shook my shoulder and told me to drink some water, then disappeared, my parents and myself were the only people in the house.

The reason I think it's a grandfather of mine is I just happen to find some old family photographs of my mothers and I saw the man who was sitting on my bed, handsome, blond, I asked my mother who he was, "that's your grandad, my father, why?" I wasn't keen to share my experience as my parents were non-believers.

The next time I saw him was about 5 years ago, he just stands silently behind me when I'm in the kitchen. My daughter also sees him at times standing outside her bedroom door. The most common occurrence is the light switch in my daughters room flicking on and off during the day when there is no one else at home. My husband who isn't a believer has also heard this.

The most recent visit happened a week ago, in the middle of the night. I felt someone gently tapping my arm. I woke thinking it was my son as he sometimes comes to sleep in our room if he wakes at night. I opened my eyes, no one was there, but I could feel someone standing at my side of the bed.

I still don't know for sure if it is my grandfather. I never met them, but then why would some random spirit visit me?
