My personal belief:

Sometimes we just "know" things... without proof.
I KNOW, for example, that the dawn has a 99.9% chance of coming after tonight's dark.
I can't prove it... but I believe it.

I KNOW that after I exhale, I'll inhale and I KNOW that my heart will beat through the night, until the moment of my death. I can't prove it to you, but I know it and I believe it.

My life and the life of my son was saved when I KNEW the plane would crash, and so refused to get on it, even though my ticket was paid for. My father was very angry at me, but I KNEW it would crash, so I following my feeling, my belief. They died. We lived.

With this same feeling, I also KNOW that I have a Mother in Heaven.
I can't prove it, but I believe it.

It is one of the reasons I joined the LDS Church -- because they taught this idea (among others) that I already KNEW was truth.
