I'm thankful to have a direct connect to the Spiritual World... But why do I have to lose sleep?

Today was my late day I was supposed to be able to sleep one hour longer, but this didn't happen because my grandmother decided to wake me up with chitter chatter in my ear about things that need to be done, changes that need to be made, how to do them and when.    It's all kinds of good information but to early in the morning though!  When she was alive I remember she would love to wake me up.  I would drive to Sacramento to visit her on my days off and I wanted to sleep in. I mean why couldn't I do the two birds with one stone and visit her on my day off and sleep in?  But no she had different idea for me.  She was an early bird so she'd be in the kitchen slamming cupboards and making all kinds of noise.  I knew it was intentional to wake me up I used to lay there and feel so irritated and one time I was almost in tears, so one time I said something to her, and when I speak of this now, I want to laugh, because she would never hesitate to do what she wanted or thought was right.   My grandparents were one of a kind.  She would push her way to the front and my Grandfather would say whatever was on his mind, he didn't care if he hurt your feelings or what other's thought.  He was what some would consider rude because he was very out spoken, stubborn and would get aggressive at times.  But my Grandmother was just a little pushy.  She would always tell me he that my grumpy Grandfather liked me and I knew he didn't.  He was mean.  He was a horse in the Chinese astrology and I'm a monkey, is what my cousin says...now it all makes sense to me why he didn't take a liking to me.  It's a Chinese Astrology thing!  Lol
Anyways back to my Grandmother she is a very funny woman she'd wake me up when I would visit her by making noise and slamming things and she would always say when I visited that I'd have plenty of time to sleep when I was dead.  That was her philosophy, and now she is showing me from the other side so she decided to wake me up early and she does that quite often and we had to have a little talk this morning so I'm hoping that doesn't happen anymore, but she does give me some good advice and ideas where to make some changes. And she let me know she loves me and guides me and that it's pretty amazing that I can hear see and feel Loved Ones that have crossed over to the other side. 
I am very thankful to have a direct connection to Spirit, and my Guides especially thankful that my grandmother has chose me, to be one of my amazing spiritual Guide and connections. 
I was feeling irritated, but I chose to feel blessed and thankful. 
Do you have a connection to Spirit?  
Do you ever wake up and just have no idea why?   Prior to my Spiritual Path or awareness I moved nine times in ten years.  I always thought it was the loud neighbors or the dog barking or the busy noisey....  It was Spirit!
You may hear Spirit and not understand.  Maybe you're a Medium too!
