My wife and I had eloped to get married. We told no one. Two days after returning home, we were sound asleep, when she was woke up to two men standing at the foot of our bed.
It was my dad and her dad arm-and-arm looking at us.
My father died when I was 12 and her father died when she was only 3.
I asked her if she was scared, she said it was the most loving/calming feeling she had ever felt.
The real intersting part is that she had never seen my dad in photos...she described him perfectly.
She also said she knew immediately who they were.
After a minute or two they left and she went back to sleep.
I have had my own experiences as a child around the time of my dad's death...that's another story.
