Of course the logical person in me 'knows' the answer is no. But I'm going to share this story anyway...

Spoke to my step-mom tonight. It's been a year since dad passed and she's still having a rough time. Yesterday she went to trade in their SUV and she test drove a 2013 Cadillac SUV with only 8k miles on it. It was more than she wanted to spend and she told the sales guy that this was her first major decision since her husband died and she needed to go sit and have a cup of coffee and think about it.

As she stood up to leave the office, "their song" started playing over the Muzak...it's some obscure song by Chicago I've never even heard....she burst into tears, convinced that my dad "was there" for her during this decision and bought the car.

Yeah yeah, coincide I spose, but I'm not a big believer in coincidences....and she was certainly comforted by this.

I am a recovering Catholic which is to say very spiritual but thinks man is arrogant to put God in a box, but I digress.

At any rate I have always told folks we all have a Guardian Angel on our shoulder, we just need to STFU and listen.

So yes I do believe that we get a nudge or help from time to time.....we just have to STFU and be open to hearing it.

I really do believe the Lord gives us what we need and challenges us with what we can bear. Course I also believe and respect that he has a killer sick sense of humor at times. He does good work.

I am not religious and don’t believe in ghosts. My dad passed away in 2016. My short answer is yes, I do believe the dead can give signs to the living. I would give a longer answer, but I feel the more I write, the more it sounds strange so I will leave it at this.

I also agree.


too long and too weird to post, but I agree,

The universe has many things we will never understand.

I'm curious as to the obscure Chicago song, as I've been a fan of their's for almost 50 years. The first time I saw them in concert was about 1977 or 1978.
