Pianoman - It's been over 10 years since my wife passed away. UPDATES!

On 06/11/2009, my wife Deb passed away. I wrote about it then. Even after 10 years I still miss her tremendously. But here's some weird things that have happened since then. I said back then that I would like some confirmation that she was OK. I think I got it! LOL! Also, I'm over 65 now and my hands shake so this could take awhile.

Right after my wife's passing, I walked into her "office", which was an empty bedroom, and saw nothing unusual, everything in it's place. A little while later I walked into the same office and found all kinds of change and dollar bills lying on her desk, in plain view. Wasn't there previously. I figured she emptied out her pants and coat pockets. (She always found change in there.)

Every time, for about 6 weeks, when I turned on my car radio, the exact same song was playing. A song by Alan Jackson called Sissy's Song. Here's some of the lyrics:

Why did she have to go So young I just don't know why Things happen half the time Without reason without rhyme Lovely, sweet young woman Daughter, wife and mother Makes no sense to me I just have to believe

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting And I know she's smiling saying Don't worry 'bout me

Weird huh? EVERYTIME I turned on the radio which was every day.

I had a 34' motor home that my daughter and I took to our home town of Dubuque, IA, to have a place to operate from while looking for a place there to live. We were there about 3 weeks, off and on. During that time I was sitting at the dinette just looking out the window and a hummingbird came to the window and hovered outside of it for about 15 seconds. If I could reach out I could've touched him. Also, a cardinal kept flying into the bedroom window. And I mean FLYING INTO IT! Made a lot of noise. He kept doing that for a few hours. Had to have gotten a headache.

After we had gotten an apartment, for the first 2 months, just as I was falling asleep, someone kept climbing into bed with me. I remember being almost paralyzed and feeling this person in the bed. And then I decided I was going to try and see who it was. I saw no one and that was the last time it happened.

I was sitting in the bathroom one day, about 1 1/2 years later after her death, and a song came on the radio. All I remember was a couple of lines. They were: "Even though what we had is gone, and what we did is done, I STILL LOVE YOU!" This was kinda my awakening moment when a lot of the depression disappeared. I've never heard that song since nor do I know who or where it came from.

A few years went by with just little things happening. But about 2 years ago, I was sitting on a love seat at a friends' house, watching tv and I heard a snap, like a pencil being broke right next to me. Suddenly a small paint chip fell from the air and landed next to me. It was a rose pink color. There was NO pink areas in this house. In fact, it was the exact same color that Deb and I painted our bedroom walls at the house we lived in.

So, that's about all I can think of right now. I still get cardinals coming around but not as many. But I moved to Kansas so maybe that's why. My point is, if proof is what you seek when a loved one dies, just open your eyes and be very observant. You'll see it.
