Just want to share something that happened last week, and being a fairly rational guy (well I thought I was until my wife passed away) I believe it to be pure coincidence.
My daughter and her two girls came up from Cornwall and stayed with me for a week, where we went out every day in my car on trips, such as visiting Stratford on Avon etc. and many other places of interest.
Well like many people I have a large collection of music which are stored on a SD card which slots into my cars media centre, and it contains well over 1000 songs. I have it set to play randomly, which is what my wife preferred rather than listen to the same artist for half hour or so which can get boring after a time she said.
We were talking about her mum, ie my late wife, and my daughter asked if mum had ever given any indication no matter how small when I had been talking to her, which I occasionally do, and I said no, as I don't really believe in such things. I told my daughter that I had often asked my wife if she wanted me to join her, but of course the dead cannot answer, this was when I was at my lowest in the days following her death.
Anyway, I said quite loudly in the car, Ann if you are there and can hear me, give me a sign, and what happened next bought us both to tears and indeed I had to pull over. When Ann and I rented our very first flat after we were married, we had no TV, just a cheap portable transistor radio, she was 18yrs and I was 23 and we heard a song play on the radio which became our own personal song, and it remained so right through our married life, I'm sure other couples have their own personal favourite song too which means something special to them.
The song was Herb Alpert's 'This Guys in Love with You' and I actually had it played at her funeral, so I was rather surprised and taken aback, when the random song selected from over 1000 songs on that SD card at that very point suddenly started to play in the car, and more bewildering was the fact I saw the volume slider on the lcd display increase slightly, yet I had not touched it (as I tend to have my music in the car pretty quiet).
My daughter said 'oh my god', as she started to cry, because she knew that song was rather special.
Co-incidence ? or what ? but to select that particular song out of well over 1000 at that particular moment, even for a sceptic like me does seem very weird indeed, but obviously it was mere co-incidence, it has to be.
Hope your all keeping well - a big hug to everyone.
Best wishes....Brian
