Thank you nameless. It’s a shame we can’t get further ocnfirmation. But personally I’m inclined to believe the story. I’m inclined to believe it not only based upon R. Unsdorfer’s credibility and “migo” (what reason would be have to make it up?), but also becuase in my own personal life, I too have experienced encounters with departed loved ones at auspicious times. The daye before my first son’s bris, my father and grandfather appeared in a dream and instructed me to honor my step father as sandek. At the time it was still a toss up between my shver and step father. Additionally I remember when my father was dying, and he carried on a very audible conversation with his mother, who died in Auschwitz. Yet at the same time, he was very lucid and very aware of his surroundings. Based upon my own experiences, why should I doubt this story?
