Okay, Kate (Kathy), the logical side of me says that it's just a coincidence. If we look hard enough, we can find "meaning" in almost anything. But the emotional side of me says it's definitely a sign. I think I've mentioned here the star that I believe is my Dad looking down on me every morning when I go out for the paper and how I stop and have a short chat with him. And there are a few other things that I feel were just too coincidental regarding my Dad. I suppose it *could* be because I want so desperately for it to be so. There have been many times when I've asked Dad to send me a sign that he's okay, whole and happy now. And.......what *I* consider a sign does come to me. It could be argued that it's just coincidence but I don't want to believe that. So I guess what's more important here is the fact that you felt goosebumps on hearing this song at about the time Abby was making her trip to The Bridge. -- Piggy's Pad

It does seem to be a bit "much" that you've always thought of Shasta when you've heard this song and now, yesterday, you hear the same song when you think Abby is leaving this world. Very eerie, indeed. I really think that what's more important here is what YOU believe. Could it be that Shasta was letting you know that she was ready to be reunited with her pal? Or just waiting for Abby? Or maybe Abby was saying a "thank you" to you for coming to her and saying goodbye? I want to believe that our animals, especially, come to us in ways that we can't always know. All we can do is try to be open to what might be called the supernatural and take from it what we can.

And lastly.......I'm being kind of long winded here.......funny that you should mention Alan Jackson. I'm just getting into country music because I hate most of what's on the radio these days. And hard rock? Terrible! But country music speaks to me. About two months ago, as I was leaving my doctor's office, I too turned on the radio in the car and heard Alan Jackson singing "Remember When." I came home and "You Tubed" the song and OMG! I'm in love. This song is so wistful and full of longing.......someone even set the song to a montage of scenes from "The Notebook." I sat there and cried. Those country boys know how to sing a song and tell a story. (NT) -- Sandy, 3:15:40 pm, Thu, 06/07/07
I listen to a lot of Country music...can't stand hard rock...rap or so many other varieties...so I'm kind of "stuck" with Country!! (NT) -- Kate, 6:45:01 pm, Fri, 06/08/07
But you know what Sandy..I'm with you..it may all be concidence when you ask for a sign from your Dad that he is ok..and you receive one..and a concidence that this song came on just when I think Abby was passing over the bridge..but you are right....coincidence or not, if it makes us feel better at more at peace believing these signs, then I truly feel that is fine..and the way things should be....you are right..what is important is what we believe and feel in our hearts...
