My friend's grandfather lives in the mountains in Jersey City. He owns a whole side of it. Harold (her grandfaher)lived with a family member named Jody. Jody had a drinking problem and couldn't stop. As the years of drinking went on, Jody got very sick and ended up in the hospital. One night, Harold went to sleep his usual time. At 4:00 A.M. he was jolted awake. He got up for some reason and walked to his porch door and saw Jody standing there. She said in a low tone, "Harold, please remember to water the plants because I won't be able to any more." Harold just said "Ok, sure." and went back to bed. The next morning he got a phone call from the hospital telling him that Jody passed away. The official time was 4:01 A.M. Jody had givin Harold her last goodbye.
