My grandfather died in late 2002. Since then, we've all helped grandma clean the house. Today I moved the chair to vacuum, like I do every few days, but today I saw something under it. It was a cigarette, the brand my grandpa used to smoke. My grandma smokes too, but a different brand. I showed it to her, and she said that it wasn't one of hers, must be one of grandpa's. It's just strange because you'd think I would have seen it before today. It just made me feel weird.

Maybe it was stuck somehow in the chair and was dislodged when you moved the chair. But it is rather strange.

I've had similar experiences... after my grandma died, I was looking through my pictures and it seemed like every other one I looked at was of her...before that I couldn't have found a single picture of her if my life depended on it.

Even if it did fall out from the cushion, which is a good possibility, don't let it make you feel strange. Try to enjoy having something of his within reach again and let it bring back wonderful memories.

Maybe he just wants to remind you that he's watching over you!

Me sentiments exactly.
