I think that was your mother coming to visit.
The most notable experience I had like this was about three years ago, one summer evening in my backyard I quite vividly (do you say vividly about odors?) smelled grandma and grandpa's farm. It was an unmistakeable aroma of fresh cut hay, baking bread, cows in the barn, pigs, rose gardens, the greasy smell of grandpa's shop...it really startled me the first time it happened - I
instantly knew where I was and I hadn't been to the farm in 30-some years. This aroma came to me a couple more times, although a little less intensely and of shorter duration than the first.
Then a woman, with whom I had a vague acquaintance, contacted me to let me know, "I have a message for you from your grandmother if you're interested in hearing it." Well, that freaked me out (since at that time grandma had been dead about six years)! But it intrigued me as well.
When I met with the medium, one of the first things she said was that grandma had been contacting me but that I wasn't getting it because (grandma said), "She doesn't believe. But tell her she's been smelling me."
The ensuing messages can be credited with inspiring me to, well, not kill myself for one.
Grandma doesn't come around as frequently as she did when my life was in such crisis. And she usually only brings the rose garden rather than the entire farm now.
But yeah, sometimes I get a strong scent of roses and a prickly, goosebumpy feeling all up and down my legs and arms and I know grandma's around - sharing the love.
