I do believe in signs and I also believe that most people receive signs if they really open their minds. The watch incident is hardly disputable. I think that is amazing. We are blessed when we receive signs and really see them.

I too lost my dad totally unexpectedly to a heart attack about 3 weeks ago. My dad was only 59 and was in good health. I miss him so much and I am waiting for a sign from him to let me know he is o.k.

- May God and your family be with you in this time of heartache. I lost my mother on the 18th of October of this year. She was suppose to go home the day she passed away however God chose to take her to his house instead. I'm new to this...if you wanna talk I would be happy to listen. Thanks, all my prayers to everyone here.

- I am so sorry for your loss. My daddy was killed in a drunk driving ATV accident on that very same day. So this is all very new to me as well. I still live in a world of shock. No way is my dad gone. I have looked for support groups and I cant find any in my hometown. So now I am searching the internet to find others who are in our shoes. We both had our dads one day and then gone the next. I wish he would just come back. I know I probably can not be much help to you but maybe we can just share each other's pain since our father's share the exact same day of death. Sincerely, Summer

Karen said… - I lost my dad on Sept. 11. He was diagnosed with lung cancer 3 years ago. We knew the day would come but he was such a fighter through it all that it seemed he would last forever. My parents 58th wedding anniversary was Sept. 27 and my dad's birthday was Oct. 9th.
On May 14, I had to put my almost 16-year old dog, Susie, to sleep. Her birthday was Sept. 30.
So I can definitely relate to the loss of a parent and pet .

Casey s said… - Jessica,
almost a year ago I lost my father to a massive heart attack with no warning as well, he actaully live for a week after on life support and we had to make the decision to take him off it. It was extremely hard and since then we lost my great grandmother and through divorce my uncle of over 21 yrs. so trust me I know what you are going through. if you need someone to talk to. I would be more than willing to listen. They say things will get easier as time goes by but don't let anyone put a limit on how you feel. I still cry over it and miss him very much, he was my superdad .
