I'm a lurker but had to reply to this one.
So I am in the bar one night having a drink and all of a sudden a lady I use to help take care of was in my head. I cleaned and shoped for her for a couple of years while in college. I had moved and had had no contact with her or her family for about 4 years. I diden't say to much about it to my friends at the bar but she continued to be on my mind. The first thing the next morning (sunday) I looked her daughters number up and decided to call and see how her mother was. I called and told her who I was and that I could not get her mother off my mind, I needed to know how she was doing. The daughter started yelling at me WHY DID YOU CALL HERE AFTER ALL THIS TIME? I said again I had been thinking of her mom since the night before.... She told me she DIED last night! It had been at the same time she poped into my head. I think she wanted to say good-by.
I had another one recently where one of my best friends (died of cancer 1 1/2 years ago) came and spoke with me in a dream, but it was not a dream, we had a conversation, and the lesson was, was that it is ok, death is not the end it is a conversion of the sole to another playing field. and he is still here with me.
I feel we are all connected in many ways the mind can not understand.
This is why we should always follow our gut instinct or go with our intuition about things. T
