Experience description:

I was to temporarily replace a small sweet kindergarten teacher for 4 months while she had surgery. I had watched her teach one day and she was SO kind and sweet with the kids that I was worried that me with my enthusiasm and music etc would scare them. ( I HAD taught kindergarten before and I AM rather dynamic). So, I was lying in bed praying the night before I was to take the job when I became aware that someone in a white robe was standing at the foot of my bed. I was startled but not frightened. I instantly knew I was seeing my older brother who had died shortly after he was born. He appeared to be a handsome, slightly built young man. I think he was smiling. In an instant he had moved over NEXT to the bed and he leaned over and said into my ear in a soft voice, "Have fun!"

So u stopped worrying and I went to school the next day wiith my baritone ukulele and I was just my enthusiastic self. We sang a lot of the children's songs my mother had written years before...and etc. It was a great four months! I even got a couple of letters from parents thanking me for being part of their child's kindergarten experience!

I don't know why it was important for my brother to come to me that night. I figure it was because God loved those little children and he wanted me to share my gifts with them.
