My dear mother passed away three years ago at age ninety. She had a good sense of humor in life.  When I was a child, she told me to always have a tissue in my pocket and a dime for a phone call.  About three weeks after she passed away, I was in a parking lot getting into my car and there was several dimes on the ground beside the car.  I didn't really think much of it at the time but when I got home as I was putting my coat away in the closet  and as I looked down, there were dimes in  a pair of shoes on  the floor in the closet. I laughed to myself.  About two weeks later, as I was out for a walk with my husband on the walkway in front of me was a dime with a neatly folded tissue.  By then I thought of mom right away and I said, 'Thanks mom I love you.'  I had such a feeling of joy. She was letting me know she was fine.  It took three different times before It dawned on me this was a sign from her.  I felt  a sense of love and peace.

Then a beautiful hummingbird flew over me, almost touching my head.  That was her favorite bird.
