Best Friend's Kid Seeing His Grandfather's Spirit

My best friend shared this with me the other day and it gave me chills so I thought I'd share.
My best friend has a son who is 3 years and he has only met his Grandfather (best friend's dad) twice in his life, once at 6 months old and then again on Christmas Eve. He said the boy spent time with his Grandfather that night but he was more interested in the toys, sweets, and cartoons like kids are.
Well, a week later my best friend's father passes away suddenly. The boy's parents made it a point to not bring it up or speak about anything related to it or death in general around the kids for now.
The next day after his Grandfather's passing the boy and his parents are on an afternoon stroll around the lake in the middle of the neighborhood when the boy starts pointing to the middle of the lake and says its Grandpa.
The parents are confused and ask the boy: Do you Pawpaw Jimmy?(best friend's step dad). The boy says no. Then they ask you see Pawpaw (Mom's dad) in the lake? The boy says no. So they finally ask "You see Grandfather...the man who you saw on Christmas Eve? The boy responds YES! So, the parents then ask well if you see your Grandfather wave to him. The boy does and says Grandpa is waving back. They let is be and continue their walk.
Later that evening they are all standing around the island in the kitchen preparing dinner when they ask their son "what was your Grandfather wearing in the middle of the lake and what was he doing?" The boy responds "He was standing on the water wearing a white costume" They ask him "did your Grandfather say anything to you?" The toddler said Grandpaw said he was going to always protect me, mommy, daddy, baby sister, and the dog, but he had to go be with God for now.
That was it...it's been almost a month since that all happened and the boy hasn't mentioned it again, almost like he has completely forgot about it ever happening.
Maybe it's just me but it sent chills up my spine when he told me that story.
CSB and no pics of the boy's mom
EDIT: It wasn't the vax. The Grandfather drank like a fish, ate red meat everyday, and always carried.
Sandy's in Erwinville is going to miss him

I heard a similar story with an old boss. Company I worked for owner died and a few days after his funeral, his wife is watching their 3-year-old granddaughter and suddenly she hears her talking to someone.
She asked her who she was talking to, she said paw-paw, he's standing right here on the stairs.

I saw this one. Spoiler alert, but your friend was dead the whole time.

I had an “imaginary friend” that I played with pretty much constantly from around age 2-5. One day I told my mom that he died and I never mentioned him again.
I think it could have been a deceased family member.

When my wife was little she used to be able to see the spirit of an aunt and grandfather. They would sit on the edge of her bed for a minute or so, then go away.
She saw her aunt one more time when our son was born; she said her aunt looked at him and nodded her head. He's 9 now.
She hasn't seen anything since but I believe her 100%. I believe there's a lot more out there that we don't know, or aren't meant to know about during this life. Young children are more in tuned to the bigger picture.

My nephew had a near drowning when he was around 4. Cpr saved him. A few months later at school he had a little project that asked "Where Jesus was", his answer was "in the water".
That was 3 or 4 years ago and I still get a little choked up thinking about it.

Very strange, but we had a somewhat similar instance in our family.
My son and his wife have two daughters. My son’s mother and I separated and divorced early on in his life and shared custody of him. She passed away at an early age in 2021.
My son and his wife keep a picture of her in their living room. It is from the 1980s when she and I were married.
On July 9 last year (her birthday) my then 3 year old grand daughter was in the living room and was looking at the picture of my former wife/son’s mother. My daughter in law said to my grand daughter, that’s your grandma. My grand daughter said, “she was in my room this morning. “
Clearly, my grand daughter had no idea it was her grand mother’s birthday. We just found it odd that she was staring at a picture of her grand mother that has been in the living room for quite some time on that day of all days (her birthday) and mentioned that her grandma was in her room that morning.
I’m just thankful that she hasn’t come back to give me any more shite or ask for any more money! We actually did make amends to one another before she died.

Happened to me when I was a kid (4)
Saw a ghost hovering above my bed, asked “dad?” and it responded yes. He had been murdered which I didn’t know about at the time. I knew my stepdad as dad and was told later
I ran out the room and my mom/grandma didn’t believe me

To each their own. I took the opposite approach with my kids and made them very aware of death, our belief in the afterlife and regularly visit the cemetery with them. Profound teaching moment that we aren’t invincible, and to cherish moments and memories.

This happened with my son and my grandmother that passed about 6 years before he was born. Long story, but awesome story. After we figured out and confirmed he was talking about her, she never showed up again. That was disappointing, but still a cool experience.
