This happened a couple of years ago when I was vacationing with my wife and two kids in wildwood new jersey. My mom had passed away a few years prior, and always loved the shore. We all were in our high rise hotel when I went out onto the balcony. I looked down to the right and saw a lady that looked exactly like my mom relaxing smoking a cigarette and enjoying the view out on her balcony just like my mom would be doing...anyway I went back in the room told my wife to come look at this person..she did and agreed that she really looked like my mom..she never looked up at us or said anything..I then went back into the room and while laying on the bed remembered that today july 14th is my moms birthday! I went back out to check her out again and she was gone..the next three days I kept checking for her again..but no...her job must have been done...remind me of her birthday and how she loved the shore..I really believe it was her or her spirit reminding me....We have had orbs show up in pictures of family functions also...
