signs?

[AmandaSparks730]

Do you believe in signs from lost loved ones?

Today was the two-month 'anniversary' of the loss of my friend, Kim.

We had a really big thunderstorm today, the kind that she loved.

Right after the storm ended, I had a big fight with my best friend.

In the car not even an hour later, Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) played. Mom and I went to Kohl's, got back in the car. Turn on the radio. And what song is it in the middle of? Good Riddance (Time of Your Life). This was one of Kim's favorite songs, and Green Day was her favorite band.

This song hasn't been on the radio around here in forever.

And then twice in 10 minutes?

*shivers*

Do you believe in signs from the beyond?

I do...
When my Dsis passed away suddenly we were in such shock... the entire funeral week we kept using the term"another level" to describe our grief processes...

as I was driving back home ...dreading getting back to "normal life" I see a car in the next lane and there are words 4 inches high plastered across the top of its rear window... and it said "ANOTHER LEVEL"

True story.... amazing...

When I was young my dad and I would always fight about how long of a shower I took and about me going around the house leaving all the lights on. There where a few times that he would take my light bulbs out of my bedroom to try and teach me a lesson.

My dad passed away in the middle of the night and my mom called me to come to her house, so the next morning when I came home I got into the shower and the water went off and the lights in the bathroom went out when I called my husband in from the other room he couldn't figure out what happened because no other lights in the house went out. My dad was always a big jokester, so I felt that was him telling me he was alright. There have been a few other things that have happened in the three years since he died. So yes I do believe in signs.

 

[CathrynRose]

Absolutely.

My mom would call my boys on their birthday and sing Happy Birthday to them. The first birthday after my mom's passing, my son and I were in the car and Danny said something about missing that call from Grandma.

Just then on the radio "Benny & The Jets* played. My mom would 'play' sing that to Danny and change the words to "Danny & The Jets"

He looked over at me all wide eyed:

We both just 'knew'.

When my dh passed I saw him before they removed the machines. I whispered somethings in his ear that I felt in my heart he heard. About a week after his passing I was flipping through channels and found an episode of Friends. It's allways been a favorite show. Mike was talking to Phoebe and he says;

" If I had known the last time I saw you would be the last time I would have stopped to memorize your face, the way you move, everything about you. If I had known the last time I kissedd you would have been the last time, I never would have stopped."

I knew right then that he heard me. I now watch Friends every night while making dinner, and in the two years since I have never seen that episode again.

 

[kirbsam]

no, but i believe in coincidences.

My best friend and I were talking about this the other day. Her mother passed away in 2003. She has worn a cross necklace since then that belonged to her mother. This Father's Day she went with us to a cookout at my aunt's house. While we were there one of the links in the necklace got stuck on one side of the t in the cross. It would have been really hard to do if you tried as they are different shapes. She has been wearing this cross for almost 6 years and never had this happen. That day was her mother's birthday.

 

[Diva of Dragons]

Absolutely! I have had and heard so many cool stories about this.

One was from my Mom's younger brother who passed in 2004. She was really upset and wanted a sign that he was OK. I told her to come up with something absurd; something you wouldn't normally see and "tell" him to show it to her as a sign. She chose a green cat.

Within a week, we were at a mall and in one area, they had an art show with various sculptures. Off in a corner was a sculpture of 3 neon green cats! She just about fell over. LOL!

 

[KimR]

I'm unsure. I'd love to receive a sign from my Mother but so far...nothing. I've never felt her presence while awake, nor have I seen or heard any kind of sign that she is still around us, watching over us. I have had dreams, very vivid dreams where I have talked with her, but was that really HER? I'd like to believe so, but I honestly don't know.

My dad passed when my son was 16 months old. At that time, my MIL watched him every day while I worked part time. A few days after he passed, MIL and ds were playing in her yard and a gorgeous butterfly kept hovering around him. My MIL told me it kept following him around.

Ever since, butterflies have been the sign for my dad letting us know he's around. They aren't necessarily alive - they've been a pin on someone's clothing, a print on a shirt, etc. And he always manages to send us one on important occasions - for example:

The day ds made his Communion we were standing in the driveway taking photos. This was in early May and lo and behold, a butterfly came and fluttered around him (and only him). It was the first one I had seen that season.

This past May my dd made her Communion. Remembering what had happened for ds, I said to my Dad, I hope you're sending us a butterfly today! Well, we went outside and it was a little overcast and I saw nothing. I was very disappointed but optimistic.

Later on I was sitting in the church waiting for the ceremony to start. There was a small table in front of the altar the kids were using as part of the ceremony. I had been looking at this table the whole time I had been there but it was at that moment I realized there was a huge blue butterfly attached to the side of the table! I almost started crying right there but managed to compose myself!

There have been many other instances like this and it always gives me peace to know my dad is still looking out for us!

My brother in law passed away suddenly on April 30 of this year. During the week after his death we went to the beach and I was in the water with my 12 year old niece (BIL was her father), me, my mom and step dad on the shore was my DH and my sister - all of a sudden I saw a big black thing coming towards us. My sister and my DH called out to us. It was a manta ray - there were quite a few people in the water at that time - it came extremely close to us and did not come near any of the other people before it swam away. At the same time a sting ray came up close to the shore where my sister and my DH were standing and then swam off. After that my DH said he and my BIL were having a conversation about if they could be any animal for a day what would it be and my BIL said he would like to be a big ocean fish - We were convinced this was a sign from my BIL that he was ok. Actually it was my niece and my sister who first said it had to be Erik - then the story from my DH just confirmed it (at least to us)

Also - same BIL and same sister - she had a "sign" from him when at her ultrasound appointment (she gave birth a month after my BIL died) the lights in the ultrasound room where lowered while the ultrasound was being done - all of a sudden the middle lights flicked out - sounded like they burnt out - meanwhile the other lights were still working normally - the technician flicked the switch on and off and on again and the light came back on just fine. I am convinced that was a sign that he was with her.

 

[kc10family]

Yes I do believe.

 

[Cool-Beans]

No. I wish it were true, but I don't believe it is.

Honestly, if people could break through from the other side to send signs, they'd do a better job, IMO. They'd do much cooler stuff than the stuff for which they're always being given credit. I know I would.

 

[ols386]

Yes, I do.

When my dad passed away earlier this year (he lived in Indiana, and myself and my children live in Michigan, they're adults now), I called my dd probably about 15 minutes (from the facility where my dad was) before my dad passed away.

I called her again probably 30 minutes or so later to tell her he had died. Just when I called her around 11pm, she said a white truck pulled in to her driveway, and by the time her husband went to answer the door, the truck was gone. DD and her husband thought it odd that someone would be coming by at that time of night.

My dad had a white truck.....that he dearly loved, and she thinks that somehow or another that was tied-in to the passing of my dad....like that was him (or his spirit) in the truck.

I know it all sounds kind of crazy, but we did think it was all very odd, from a timing standpoint. Maybe it was just a weird coincidence, but we like to think it was him.

I went to the Saturn dealership to get the oil changed on my car. While at the dealership, the clerk and I got into a discussion about how you can find out the exact date a Saturn vehicle came off the assembly line. My Vue was "born" on my best friend's 40th birthday. She died at age 32 from a car wreck. It was kind of a poke from her, making sure I was thinking about her.

 

[TnTsParty]

Oh I also forgot to mention another "sign" we had - not sure if it was a "sign" or just coincidence but it was wierd either way.

As I said before my BIL passed away on April 30 and my grandmother passed away 2 days later on May 2. The funeral for my BIL was on May 4 - on the way to the cemetary we saw an orange Lamborgini drive past. Thinking nothing of it we barely paid it any attention other than noticing it. Fast forward to my grandmother's funeral 4 days later 2 towns away and as we were leaving the cemetary what did we see the same orange Lamborgini. Now it may have just been a coincidence but I have never seen this color Lamborgini driving around in this area before or since those 2 days. Again I don't know what the signifigance if any it would be but still it was a little wierd seeing the same car only on those 2 days.

My dad died in December 04. In August of that year, he and my mom went to Paris for their 25th anniversary. In a store, my dad saw a t-shirt with the Chat Noir picture on it, and suggested they get it for me. Our cat of 15 years ran away in October of that year, so shortly after my dad died we went out looking for a kitten. At the shelter we wound up at, there was a black cat who fit the perameters I wanted (liking to be held, being stroked under the chin). Based on her personality, I have no doubt my dad picked her out for us.
On the third anniversary of my dad's death, I was in WDW and going to MVMCP. I ordered my ticket in October, from my cell phone#, for myself only. It came addressed to my dad-I guess he wanted to come.
