Stunned ! sister out of the blue

[Tephra]

I'm so glad everything worked out for you in the end, and to be given your Dad's belongings is just the icing on the cake.   I'm really happy for you.

As a further addition to this story I thought you might be interested to know this strange happening.
My dad had a serious road traffic accident in Leicester 13th July 1960. He was admitted to hospital at 9.40 P.M. and died some two hours later from injuries that today would probably have been seen to and he would have lived.
The lady who my dad married two years before his death, has told me that their favourite song was from the musical Carousel and is one we all know in the U.K. as the Liverpool Anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone'. It was special to them.
47 years after my dad's death to the day, my grandaughter, my dad's great grandaughter was in a local concert for three nights. shows over three days. She told me she was singing a solo. I attended the concert on Friday 13th July to support her as it was the first time she had sung a solo.
Imagine my surpise when at twenty to ten my grandaughter took centre stage and sang 'When You Walk Through The Storm Hold your Head Up High' the rest of the company then joined her on stage and invited the audience to sing along. I couldn't I just sat there weeping copious tears.
After the concert the little girl said 'why did you cry Grandma?' And I replied that I found it so lovely and moving. I had no idea she was going to sing this and of course she had no idea that this song was special in anyway.
When I told my dad's wife this story she said that the night he died she had been waiting for him to come home so that they could see her daughter my stepsister appear in a stage version of Carousel.
Now tell me is there something going on here? I find it all so strange!

It's not strange at all Pennine.

Just listen to the message and say, "Thank you Dad, I love you too."

Sometimes that karma has to reach a long way through time and space to accomplish its goal.

This one made it, and you got it, all the way deep into your heart.

Treasure it.

Blessings,
Granma Anne

hi all

Oh My!!! What a fabulous thread.... I am struck by your Dad having a picture of you in his wallet...and the coincidence (or maybe not) of your granddaughter appearing on stage at the exact time that he was admitted to hospital 47 years after ....

I wish you joy with your new rellies!

I understand your anxiety to allow yourself to be vunerable, but I think ALL relationships, no matter who they are with, requires us to take a chance and be open to what they may GIVE us as opposed to what they may TAKE from us!

best wishes

Wow! pennine,

I can only echo what Granma Anne said.  I too have had a strange experience that convinced me that my Dad was reaching out to me and am sure that what Granma Anne said is right.

You've been on quite a ride lately!

Wow, shivers. I too think your dad is reaching out. Embrace it. About a week after my dad died suddenly from a fall, I was so sad. I walked the dog very early in the morning and cried up at the stars: I was always told when someone you loved died you could feel them with your and I didn't. That afternoon, coming home from running errands, I got pulled over for speeding (my first ever). The cop took my license back to his car and I looked up and said, "Dad, you're not even here to get me out of this one (he was a lawyer)." the cop came back a few minutes later and told me to slow it down, but never gave me a ticket. I thanked my dad.

My dad used to collect bicentennial quarters. Whenever we received any, we always gave them to my dad. Now that they are over 30 years old and many people collected, there aren't many left in circulation. I myself hadn't seen one in years. In the last couple months, I have gotten 3. I feel it's my dad letting me know he is around, watching over me.

Sorry to ramble on your thread. Now I definitely believe he is around, and every now and then he wants me to know.

(Just as an aside ... Granma Anne's avatar had me trying to flick the fly off my screen, and it then disappeared into the bottom edge of the screen, and I had a shock thinking it had got inside my laptop screen somehow !    Nice one, Granma Anne, you had me fooled !)

Absolutely fabulous story since page one on this thread 
That was a beautiful moment of  spiritual synchronisation !

Granma Anne is spot on. Your father knows that you have been involved with your family ancestry, he is still with and loves you and he has given you a wonderful message.


It is a memory to keep forever
