Such a heartwarming story about your beautiful mom. I had the exact same experience before my mom passed over.

She was in bed at a facility, still with her eyes closed, oxygen mask on her face. Then her eyes popped open and followed something behind my head, back and forth. She tugged at her mask and got out of bed as if the spirits were calling her. What a scene. She died the next morning.

Great story, Deb! Sorry for your loss.
