Signs from our loved ones are so precious, and I have received many such communications from Dan over the years.
Signs that they hear and are always present with us are many and varied.
Sometimes, I won't have signs for a while... even if I ask for one! But I always trust he's there.
Other times, the signs he sends blow my mind, so perfectly orchestrated, are they.
August 2023 was one such occasion.....
I was at the sink, washing dishes and out of nowhere I suddenly started singing the chorus of the "Your Song" by Elton John... I mean, singing it OUT LOUD!! 😄 I shocked myself tbh, because I hadn't been thinking of the song at all, and there I was, singing it!
I even said to myself, "Why am I singing that???" and had a little giggle to myself.
Throughout the rest of that day, the song would pop into my mind, and I would find myself singing it.
Fast forward to the next day.
My daughter and I arrived for a mini break in the country. We got to the hotel and went to have a coffee on the terrace.
My daughter says..."Listen Mum," so I listen, and the song "Three Little Birds" could faintly be heard in the distance (my daughter obviously has better hearing than I do, but I could hear it, once she pointed it out). This song was sung at Dan's funeral by a friend of his, and Dan often marks his presence with this song.
We smiled and acknowledged that Dan was with us on holiday.
Being in the UK and the weather so unpredicatable, after about 20 minutes, it began to rain, so we went inside the coffee shop and sat down.
The sound system, which was quietly playing background music, suddenly became very loud and played the exact same words that I had been singing to myself the day before... the chorus of Elton John's song ....!!!
"And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind,
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world. "
My daughter goes, "What the heck," because it was SO LOUD and completely random... and the sound system went quiet again, back to background music.
I laughed as I told her that I had been singing the exact same words of that song all day yesterday!
I'm guessing Dan turned it up really loud to make sure that I could hear it! 😅
....But to play just that chorus and nothing else was quite something, don't you think?
It never ceases to amaze me, what they can do.
Dan was certainly letting us know he loves coming on holiday with us....
