When Anna was 14, she had a dream that she was standing in her grandparents' kitchen and saw her grandmother telling her grandfather she wasn't feeling well. He started crying and her grandmother tried to comfort him. Anna woke in tears herself, feeling an enormous sense of grief, but blew off the experience as a really bad dream.
A couple days later, her mother got a phone call from her grandfather saying that her grandmother had suffered a massive heart attack in the kitchen and died. Three days after the call, Anna's family went to the Gulf Coast of Alabama where her grandparents had moved a year earlier. She had never been before, nor seen any pictures, but when she entered the kitchen, it was the exact same as she'd seen in her dream.
She didn't tell her mother about this until she was nearly 30, and her mother wasn't surprised. She said Anna had always been close with her grandfather
and thought she probably went to him because he was sad. Anna believes she somehow ventured into the future to her grandparents' house the moment her grandmother died. It made her realize that we are truly connected to people we love in a way that is far beyond physical.
