A Sign From The Heavens...

Five months have passed since my Dad went to Heaven. 

When he first passed away, I got a few “signs” that I knew were from him (here). I was hoping & praying that I would always get signs from him- just to know that he was there.

Several weeks went by… I was constantly looking & waiting for another sign that I would get from him & nothing appeared… until a few weeks ago.

I was driving down the street, & was having one of those days… just listening to my favorite song (Danielle Bradbery- I Will Never Forget You) that reminds me of my Dad. I stopped at a red light & BAM! right in front of me was a license plate that said “Squeaky”. My Dad has called me that name from as long as I can ever remember… (maybe not a true "sign" but it made me smile)

A few weeks later, I was standing in my kitchen, alone, cooking dinner, when I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was the most real feeling I have ever felt; so real that I stood frozen in my place, almost in tears. I have been thinking about my Dad a lot more lately, so I knew right away that it must have been him. Just thinking about it, as I am writing this, is bringing tears to my eyes because I know what I felt that day, as I stood in the kitchen.

A few days later, I came home from work & as I walked through the door, I was taken over with the smell of cologne. The same smell of cologne that my Dad wore—I even smelled a touch of cigs in it. It smelled just like him! It was in the same exact place in the kitchen, that I got a tap on my shoulder just days before. 

I know whoever is reading this right now, is probably thinking that I have lost my damn mind… but I am telling you that this is real! I know that it is my Dad…

I have been so extremely stressed lately… And I think it is his way of showing me that that he is here with me & that everything will be okay. He would always tell me… “Nothing lasts forever Sweet Pea!”, “Just do the best you can!” and “Everything will work out”.

To some people, having "signs" from there loved ones who have passed away might creep them out; but not for me. I honestly miss my Dad so much & there are days (like lately) that I just need him... so having the feeling that he is here, honestly makes me so happy.

I love you sweetness & I miss you more than ever !! You have no clue what I would give to be able to talk to you right now.
