I was living alone in Washington, DC in an apartment and felt isolated from people and nature. I was depressed and hated the way I was living. I was working downtown in an office, and I had chronic bronchitis. The doctor said there was nothing more she could do. It may have been a reaction to air pollution in the city, mold, or a severe allergy. It was caused partly by tension/compression in my chest, but I didn't know that. Every night, I coughed and wheezed for some time before I could breathe comfortably and get to sleep. Sometimes I seemed to start choking after falling asleep, and woke up to more coughing. This time, I apparently stopped breathing altogether.
Many years have gone by since the day I believe I first met my Grandma and Uncle Frankie, nobody told me about them. I just knew they both stood looking at me.

They had both died before I was born, around 40 years prior to that faithful day when I experienced something so special. Let me explain.
