Spirit of Step dad gave me physical sign he heard me

Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if anything of this nature has happened to anyone else.

Over the past year, I've been dealing with and resolving many of my feelings from my childhood that have haunted me since I was a kid. My dreams have been a big part of revealing things to me, and helping me to understand my feelings.

Anyhow, one of the big issues I had was not having a positive or existant father figure in my life since I was small.
Last month, I was taking a walk when I started thinking about my step dad. He was the only GOOD father figure in my life that I remember. He treated me like his own child, and I felt very loved. He tragically died of cancer at a very young age. I was only 6 years old at the time.

I was thinking how I never had a father figure tell me outright how proud he was of me. Despite the adversities I faced, I turned out pretty well. A great husband, beautiful kids, and a career I love.

I said out loud, "Daddy (what I called him), are you proud of me?" I felt the tears come, but I didn't cry.
A minute later, I was walking in the school parking lot. I looked down and found a quarter. Before I picked it up I thought,"It's a 1980 quarter." I picked it up, and sure enough...it was from 1980...the year my "daddy" died.
Thanks, Daddy.

The next day was my birthday. My 6 year old daughter made me a beautiful card. And, she gave me a shiny penny. My husband said she found it the day before while shopping for me. Later, I looked at the date...2009.
I thought OMG....1980, I was 6. 2009, my baby is 6.

What a wonderful sign for me. I know I have a Daddy who is proud of me, and I have a beautiful little girl I'm proud of. I keep the coins as a reminder of all I've accomplished and to live in the NOW, not the pain of the past.

I know this is long, but thanks for listening!
Peace to all of you!

What a sweet story.
Sometimes I wish I could successfully communicate with my grandmother.
She passed after I got married - 4 years ago.
She appears in my dreams a lot - but I can't seem to ever talk to her.

Anyway - thanks for sharing.

Hey Bright Dreamer

isn't that wonderful it just shows that there are no 'coincidences' in our life's meetings and experiences, if we choose to we can hear the myriad ways in which spirit speaks to us!

Best to you Blueberry
