She Said I Love You After

I was in an apartment I was living in Portland me. I don't live there anymore. It was March, it was cold in the apartment, but that wasn't unusual, landlord there kept the heat as low as legally possible. It was Monday night like people say. Really it was technically Saint Patrick's Day, like between 2-3 am, I was smoking a cigarette and feeling like I wish I could sleep. Then I heard it... I Love You in a woman's voice, why would I think it was a family member at that point? Or even some one passed on or stuck what ever; I got scared and asked God to not let me hear it again even though it was nice. Just because I don't want to be a medium and break my religion, on weds, I was heading to my gamma's house because Aunt Bridget died on St. Patrick's Day. And after many months until the family knew for sure she died on St. Patty's day for sure, I held in my heart that I was important to her for while she was still on this earth she went all the way from mass to tell me she loves me before she went to heaven. Bridget was only a ghost for a moment but she told me the most important thing. See Aunt Bridget lived a sad life of drugs and drinking, and when you get old it doesn't get anymore fun, it can be embarrassing and hurt your pride. I never knew why my aunt my godmother never spent the time she promised with me. But I know all she wanted was to tell me she loves me, so I can grieve and heal.
