Tangible messages from my dad?

[lizzieboo]

My father, to whom I was very close, died in 1992. Prior to his death, my father would occasionally give me money; sometimes it was enough to put gas in my car or go out for lunch or to happy hour. But on other occasions, he would jokingly hand me some loose change--even a single penny once in a while--and tell me not to spend it all in one place. Shortly after his death, I was sitting in my living room and a handful of loose change fell into my lap. My husband wasn't home and no one else lived with us. The apartment was all on one floor and the hatch leading to the attic was in the hallway, nowhere near the living room where I was sitting.

For the first year or so after his death, these little "showers" of coins would occur in a variety of places...in my car, at home, while visiting friends or family members. One incident that stands out occurred at a clothing store. I was standing at the entrance to the dressing room and, somehow or other, the sales woman and I began talking about losing loved ones. She said that she often felt her son was still with her. I told her about coins dropping out of nowhere since my father died...and just then, a dime dropped at my feet. She paled, and then laughed, saying that apparently I was right, my Dad was still watching over me.

In the 20 years since his death, this mysterious shower of coins has slowed down; now it might only happen once a year, if at all. But in every instance, there is no scientific or "logical" way that I can explain these incidents in which coins drop out of thin air. I try to keep an open mind about paranormal matters, neither dismissing them out of hand nor being accepting to the point of gullibility. Part of my fence-straddling on the paranormal relates to the "pennies from heaven" after my father's death.

Any thoughts?

If you've experienced this then it is obviously real to you. It's the type of thing most wouldn't believe unless they've had similar experiences themselves.

Reading your story, my natural reaction is to question if these occurrences have happened as you've stated them without any widely accepted explantion existing as to why.

That said, if it happened to me, I would simply accept it as it is. Sometimes you just know what the meaning is behind something. It sounds like you know why these "pennies from heaven" have come to you seemingly out of nowhere.

I wouldn't question it. I would just take comfort in the fact your conscious tells you it is your father making himself known to you even after he has passed.

I whole heartedly agree with Angel Left Wing. People may question this and say it was coincidence etc. But if you feel it is your father in your heart, then just accept it as a little something special from your dad. And don't spend it all in one place

Are they tangible?

Are they tangible?

Yes, actual coins, wisenheimer. As opposed to imaginary coins, hypothetical coins, or even theoretical coins. (This is starting to feel like Monty Python's dead parrot skit. I need a damned thesaurus.) As I wrote earlier, the store clerk saw a dime fall out of nowhere right between us. When I picked it up, I handed to her so that she could look at it. Other people have also seen it happen, and have touched the coins. (Why does that sound vaguely obscene to me? I must have a dirty mind. )

Angel Left Wing is right. But that being said, my grandpa passed away about two years ago (I never seem to remember dates when people die). Shortly after my grandmother also passed away from liver cancer. Roughly a month later my aunt was re-married. Apparently as she was walking down the isle a bee came and sat down on her botique(I think I mangled that spelling). According to my dad a butterfly was also sitting on the back of her shoulder. Both insects flew off after she exchanged vows. Was it probably just a weird coincidence, probably. I mean bees and butterflies both are attracted to pollen blah blah blah. What really matters, as stated before, is that to her it felt like a sign her parents were there with her. Similar story in your case. We weren't there so we have no idea what it looked like or anything but if you felt your dad was giving you a sign then thats the important thing and it means you and him had a wonderful bond and still do

Thank your Dad when the coins falls
