As most of you know, my wonderful Husband (Brian) passed away just two years ago from Pulmonary Fibrosis. A few months ago we had a big family get together at a big posh hotel. All my Husbands side of the family were there to celebrate a friends 30th Birthday party. My daughter Jo came home from Manchester, not wanting to miss the family festivities. We all had a wonderful time and Brian was so missed when we were all together.
Well, when my daughter was driving back home to Manchester the following day, she said out loud in the car...'Were you there with us all last night Dad'....seconds later...a car overtook her then pulled right in front of her. The number plate read 'DAD'............makes you go all goosy doesn't it. xxxxxx

Hi Jolyn nice to hear from you. Its strange when something like that happens, makes you think that perhaps we don't know it all. Shortly after my dad died, we were on holiday and i was waiting for my husband to come up from one of those below ground men's toilets in Bairritz. Two men placed themselves either side of the steps and I felt sure they planned to mug the next man up. I was really worried and suddenly thought of my dad's camera which. I had in my bag. I got it out and started taking shots around the exit and the men walked away. I really felt it was a protective message from my dad. Maybe overactive imagination but I have never forgotten it.

Ooh Iris...I've gone all goosy now. lol. I really do believe that the messages they send are so simple that they can easily be dismissed as imaginery or coincidental. But sometimes...you just have to wonder don't you. We'll all know one day won't we. xx
Wow! Omg, Lyn! Goosy indeed! Thats wonderful.... You know hes with you.😊 Must give you a sense of peace. Fantastic .. Hows it make you feel? You are lucky. I speak to my dad and brother often. Never have gotten a sign, they are okay. My friends husband passed away a yr. ago. She went to a medium recently. She told my friend, she saw him holding a cat. He said-- "Look who I found." She went on to describe the cat perfectly! This was a cat, they had to have put down. Amazing stuff, Lyn. Good to know our fur babies pass with us.😆 So good to see you back 😊 Rubyxx 😊
I felt wonderful Ruby and it's a real comfort to know he's watching over us.
There have been so many other instances too numerous to mention and I do like to keep an open mind about these things. Maybe you are getting signs but you don't notice them Ruby and that's amazing about your friends cat. I'm starving now...going to raid the fridge. xxx
I think that was a wonderful sign, I'm convinced all our loved ones spirits are around us. Pleased you had a good day Jolyn. We do miss your beautiful photography, hint hint! Xx
Hiya Sheila, how wonderful to hear from you. (Big hug). I believe in the Spirit World too and I've been reading up on it since Brian's passed. There's just so much we don't understand and we're not meant to.....well not just yet anyway.
Oh blimey that was not a coincidence it was most definitely a yes from Brian....My friend has had some similar things happen to her since she lost her husband and im sure many other people on here have has similar experiences .x
The signs are there aren't they Mandy, we either choose to accept them or not. I thought this was wonderful and it gave my daughter such a lift when it happened. xxx
Hi.Lyn, I am doing this wrong way found I think. Those we love never quite leave us. Sometimes coincidence does seem to point to more than this. I believe Jung had a word for it, it may have been synchronocity. It's great it was such a comfort to you both. X
It is synchronicity Margaret. It's basically the idea that if you want something badly enough then the universe will receive the message and send the call out for you. It's a lot more than that though and I don't fully understand it.
Carl Jung quoted an example of looking for a book by an author with a very unusual surname. He couldn't find it. A day or so later he called a cab and had to ask for a receipt. The cab drivers surname was the same - he was the only cab driver in the city with that name. He said it's like the universe was asking 'Is this the right person'? x

I'm still wondering but what a good post. It's certainly very thought provoking.

I fully agree with you Naresh...God bless you too. x
That's lovely Joclyn. I don't know if you remember my post but when my mother passed in June 2013 we got a sign on the first anniversary of her death that she was ok. She had owned a plant called a Day Lilly where a flower only comes out for 1 day then dies. My sister had it. It hadn't flowered for 4 years and they assumed it was dead. Then 2 weeks before the date 1 little bud appeared. I flower came out on the exact date. We said thanks mum we know you are ok now. x
WOW! A wonderful sign Cough and so lovely to hear from you. What a lovely story. The signs are there aren't they. I hope you're keeping well Cough and thanks for sharing your thoughts. xxx
You are very welcome Jolyn. I had heard about these kind of experiences before but only half believed them until I experienced it for myself. My mum also used TCP a lot and none of us can bear it in the house after that. My younger sister has smelt it a number of times in her home, including in the bathroom and even in her husbands glasses case! Bizarre.
That's amazing Cough, I love these stories. Glad you doing ok hon. I'm good thanks
Hello Jolyn,
Yes it certainly does, and I am sure we have all had that feeling at some time in our lives. We can choose to embrace it or not for we know no better, and you can either let it give you comfort or not. We do have choices
There are more things Horatio.....than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
Hi Jennifer, yes, I agree totally, we do have choices. I certainly felt comforted by this and so did my daughter. It's always good to keep an open mind. I hope you're keeping well. x
I had an unusual experience in the late 1970's. The bungalow we lived in at the time had been built on old clay mining land - this I did not know until later - I had fallen asleep in front of the gas fire ...the pilot light of which gave out a blue glow. I awoke to see a smallish man dressed in a frayed cardigan, very shiny knees to his trousers, which were tied up with something around the ankles, and an old peaked cap. He just stood in front of me, looking down, looking weary and looking very sad. As I pinched myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming. and sat up straight - he disappeared slowly from my left to my right, with the blue glow becoming clear again. I rushed to open the curtains to make sure I was actually living. The telephone rang and it was someone to say my darling gran had just passed away. I didn't have choices - it had happened and I had seen it.
Yes, but how wonderful for you both. Everyone has their (little signs) so to speak.
Take care, I don't know you, but am hoping with the help if family and friends you are getting your life back on track. It's takes time,but One Life, Live it. That's what he would have wished for you. All the very best, I was widowed in 2006 my late husband had stomach cancer, lots happened since then, but here I am now back in Shropshire with my family and friends and facing the Challenge again.
That was a right coincidence make u wonder when things like that happens.
My hubbys mum been dead about 12 years she was alovely lady she lived to 91 but anytime My Hubby as a really bad day we always see signs that she there with us which is most of the time .
Its true when they say your loves who youve lost are always with you an watching over you.
Hiya onamission, its lovely to speak to you. Yes, I agree...if there isn't an afterlife...I wonder what's the point of this life. I think we learn our lessons here and move on to higher spiritual levels. Well, like you, I hope that's true.
Ooh yes, nursing homes have their funny happenings don't they.
The nursing home I worked in has been knocked down now, it had 54 beds and only 2 night staff the turn around was really quick. We had a new lady in I went to check on her the room was icy cold the window was shut yet you could see her breath in the cold room. I went to get her a extra blanket yet she felt warm I reported the heating to the plumber but he found nothing wrong
VAAAAASHTI.....flinging my arms around your neck and dangling there. How lovely to hear from you. I do hope you're well and still writing those amazing stories. Thank you for thinking of me, I think of you too. I had to pop in and see how everyone was. I'm still playing with my camera and really enjoy it. Yes, it's comforting to know our loved ones stay in contact isn't it. I just hope he's not watching ALL THE TIME. lol
Hello Jolyn, it's lovely to see you posting, you've been missed!😀 great story too,I look out for signs like that , it's comforting to know we are all eternal beings enjoying a human experience...😁🌼🌺🌸 huff xxx
Hiya Huff, so lovely to hear from you, are you ok? I've missed all of you too. What a nice way of putting it...eternal beings enjoying a human experience. I like that and it's so very true.
I too believe that we are here for a purpose and how we conduct our lives in this world will determine our future in eternity. I have had some strange experiences during my life. As for our loved ones who have gone before us, well I know my dear husband is at rest now so that gives me great comfort. Also I sometimes feel a benevolent presence in the house. I am sure that he is there.
Some people believe there is no such thing as coincidence & myself amongst them. I read a lovely book called the Celestine Prophecy many years ago & it's a lovely adventure story, which explores synchronicity & helps show our own lives to be more of an adventure. Happy reading for those who do
I don't believe in coincidence either Clara...I think everything is for a reason. It's up to us to find out those reasons. Sounds like a good book. Thank you for dropping by
I have just come on after quite a long break, it was quite hairs on your neck reading, Brian was there as it is such a coincidence for DAD to come in front of your daughters car. I hope you all found peace and contentment at your gathering.
