Strange but comforting

Last night after my bath, I was on my way to the utility room to deposit my dirty laundry. I noticed amber lights out side, reflecting through the blinds.
I looked outside and the caution lights on top of my husbands roll-back truck were revolving.
We had been outside on the deck earlier in the evening and they weren't on then.
I called my husband and showed him the lights and he said "must be a short".
He went out and turned them off and told me you had to turn the switch to make them come on and revolve like that.
He looked at me and kind of grinned and said "do you think that was our little buddy?".
I said "I sure do!!".
That truck has never done that before. I can just picture John laughing because he made his dad get up off the couch, put on his shoes and go outside. It really gave me a lot of comfort thinking John was letting us know he was there and all right.

I've had a few signs over the years ... that I believe were my son letting me know he's still with us in spirit ... and I understand how comforting they are.

I'm so glad you and your husband received this "gift" from John.

Trish...I know those signs too...My Kristen has shown me she is okay through butterflies, and sometimes I swear she does little things that are her way of teasing me, just like when she was alive. I'm glad it felt comforting. Hugs and prayers
