8. My brother was not always the best father when his kids were younger

he wised up after his marriage broke up and especially after he found out he had cancer he really tried to make amends to his kids - fortunately he was successful with this.

I think his grandchildren (not just the two I mentioned) seeing and hearing from him was meant more as a message to his kids that he was still there for them - but little kids are just so much more receptive than adults I think that's why he went through the little ones. The first time one of them had a message was just a few weeks after he died. My niece could hear her daughter, who had just turned three, talking in her room. My niece assumed she was just speaking to her dolls but Ky came downstairs and said to her mom, "You don't have to feel sad about Grandpa. He's in Heaven and he's happy, I know because he just told me."

(Now, what was meant by heaven is open to discussion, but I'm guessing he was just using terms that a little girl could relate to, I don't think it necessarily means what we were taught in Catechism.)
