Hi. I finally got out to get a dress for my nieces wedding this morning while my son watched my mom. I was in the dress store and found a pretty pink dress that I liked. (I'm not a frilly dressy gal and don't wear dresses unless it's a wedding). I took it in the dressing room with a few others and fell in love with it. Then came the shock. The $50. dress was 2 pieces with separate tags and would cost me $120. I said to myself NO WAY am I spending that much on me for a wedding. Then it happened. Chicago's - Color my World came on the speakers, my wedding song. I know it was my late husband (as he often did when he was alive) telling me I was worth it, buy it. So I came out and got a pair of tan pants that would go with the top for anything fancy to come like when I have graduation. I get up to the register and the girl gets off the phone and said it's a good thing I didn't check out earlier that all the stuff is 40% off today as they want to move the stuff...the week before Easter????? My bill came to only $65. instead. Of course I got in the car and let it all out before I got home. I have not been feeling him around lately, too busy with mom and work, but he knew when to let me know he's still there for me.

Mar, what perfect timing for you to feel this message was being sent to you.The spirit of our loved ones does have away of getting through to us.

Mar when I read your first post about your dress I had tears in my eyes. I love the fact that Doug was there for Dan too. Can you guess I am a believer too? Haven't had any signs from Dad in recent years. The last one will be 7 years ago Easter Sunday. Gypsy

I was telling my son the story and he said he doesn't believe in signs. I told him it's OK to believe in what he wants. He was at work tonight in the stock room getting stuff ready for tomorrow's sale and he said the radio just came on and that You Look WOnderful Tonight, my husband and my private song came on. (It was also the song played at my other nieces wedding and the band leader said it was in his mind that morning and the song that Dan would connect Doug and me to) We now have another believer. He later found out the cashier had put on the radio because he felt he had to!

You betcha!

Oh Mar, what a gift?? There is so much inspiration to be found when a Person is open to it. There are those who would say it is coincidence, and those who say there is no such thing as coincidence. I'm in the second group.
One of Mom's CGs recently informed me that though she doesn't seek it, sometimes she will hear a voice or see something that others don't. She told me she saw "the shade " of my Dad in the house once, (only once) and it didn't frighten her, she knew he was just checking on my Mom, and making sure all was well. Although I believe that some folks are "sensitive", I was a tad bit alarmed about her stability. I was also a tad bit jealous. She told me he doesn't come to me because he is secure when I'm around and doesn't need to check up, but he seemed satisfied and didn't bother her.
OK, you Cajun's out there might be more used to this than us Mid Atlantic Protestants. But I think she hasn't given me any reason not to keep her. Does a good job, and isn't scared, in fact seems less scared than before. There is not a photo in the house that shows him in the plaid shirt he loved to wear, and that is how she saw him. No one working there now, knew him. What can I say? Not telling Bro about this. He already thinks I am looney tunes material. Still I keep Mom where she wants to be and he can't.
