[ WP ] You 've decided to try out an Ouija board for the first time . The board spells out `` So . You 're finally here . ''

`` So....you're finally here.'' the Ouija board spelled 
 
 `` Ok, Rick, not funny.'' I deadpanned. 
 
 `` I did n't do that!'' 
 
 `` Its me.'' Ouija board again. 
 
 I am still doubtful at this point and I really think that Rick is just messing around with me. But I go with it. I mean, if he is gon na go to the trouble, I may as well mess with him back. 
 
 `` Ok, Ouija. Tell me who you are.'' 
 
 `` Namma'' it spells out. 
 
 My world halts. I think very quickly if I have ever told Rick what I called my grandmother when I was a toddler. I could n't say grandma properly so it came out Namma for years. After I got older I called her Grandma. So, no, I am sure I did n't tell him this. I have n't really thought about it in years. 
 
 I compose myself, while Rick looks on curiously at my abrupt change of mood. 
 
 I spell out, `` Namma Is it really you'' 
 
 `` Yes Pumpkin.'' 
 
 She called me Pumpkin. I know I never told him this. My grandmother had passed away about ten years earlier. She was the first person I was really close to that passed away. I had a horrible time with it. I did n't get to the hospital in time to say goodbye. Everyone else got to tell her goodbye but me. They said they did n't know she was going to pass so fast and were trying to spare me until they knew for sure. I was the youngest. But I had every much a right to be there as anyone else. I was angry over it for years. I still got mad when I thought about losing the opportunity to speak to her one last time. 
 
 `` Namma? Are you there?'' I spelled out. 
 
 `` Yes. Want to tell you its OK'' the Ouija again. 
 
 `` What Namma'' 
 
 `` I was with you the day I left. I saw you. And its ok.'' said my Grandma 
 
 `` Sorry Namma, I wanted to be there.'' 
 
 `` I know Pumpkin. You were not there but I was with you.'' 
 
 At this point I just started crying. I felt such a relief wash over me. The Ouija starts moving again. 
 
 `` Love you Pumpkin. Be happy. Bye.'' 
 
 `` I love you too Namma.'' 
 
 I would have never ever believed this could have happened. We were only messing around with the Ouija because we were bored and honestly a little drunk. Oh gosh, I hope Grandma did n't know I had been drinking. But I guess the good thing is no matter why it happened... maybe it was just my subconscious that took over so I could let it go. All I know is whatever happened that day, helped me let go of all that anger and finally come to peace with myself.
