[Margaret Pilkington]

I know that a lot of folk will pooh-pooh this, but after my dad died, my Mum would get up and find the TV switched on...and also the kettle boiling its' head off(it was electric, but in the days before kettles switched themselves off when they had boiled).

And when Ma was diagnosed with cancer I came home from work and switched on the computer and got a blue screen with a little box in it and it said 'I'm here' and at the same time i could smell cigarette smoke.....no-one smokes in my house.
I can find no explanation for that episode......and there have been others that have happened when Ma and I have been together.......the computer screen one made me think I was going 'NUTS' because only I saw it...but the shared experiences have given both Ma and me great comfort.
