My story begins April 26, 2008.
I had
gotten off work that night and went to visit my mom and dad, they had just gotten
back from Wendover, NV (which is something they did a couple times a month). I spent about an hour or so and when I went
to leave my mother walked me out to my car, she had on white pants with a
yellow blouse and here hair was just perfect, she stood there with her arms
folded until I got down the street, she had never done that before and I will
never forget her standing there looking at me not knowing that it would be the
last time I would ever see her.
The next day I took a 1/2 day off of
work and went with a friend to see a Medium (which I had been to before). The Medium seemed a little uncomfortable
during my reading but I later brushed it off.
After our readings my friend and I went to lunch where she shared with
me a story about her mother who had passed away several years prior from
cancer, her family and ours all knew each other.
She told me her mother would put
pennies in anything that had a pocket which I thought was very interesting and
then after her mother had passed my friend would find pennies around and said
that they were from her mom which she said were her “Pennies from Heaven”. I
couldn’t wait to go home to call my mom and tell her that story of the
pennies.
On Sunday April 29th I
received a call from my mom at 7:00 am telling me that the sprinklers were not
working and that my dad was having a hard time trying to fixed them. She asked if my husband and I would come and
help him. I told her that we would. Five minutes later I called her and asked her
to tell dad not to hire anyone that we would be there in a few hours. A few minutes after that my dad called me and
said that my mom was laying on the couch unresponsive, I told him to call 911
and that I was on my way, I called my sister and let her know what was going
on, then went straight to the hospital. When I got
there I called dad and asked him what was going on and he said that the
paramedics left and are on their way, just then the ambulance came down the
street and I thought I was going to pass out because I knew that my mom was in
there.
I went into the front desk and told
the lady that I think that is my mother they just brought in, she told me to
sit down and they would be right with me.
Five minutes after I sat down and I looked over at the front door and a
police officer was coming in with my dad, and I knew then that the news was not going to
be good.
When my sister got there a member of
the staff took us in a private room and told us that our mother had passed. My dad started to cry and said it was his
fault because he had been yelling at her over the sprinklers not working and
that he wasn’t able to fix them. It
wasn’t anyone’s fault it was mom’s time to go.
Later that night when I got home and
after making all of the phone calls to family and friends about mom I walked
down the hall and had noticed a penny between the hall and my special Angel
room, I couldn’t believe it!!
I felt in my heart it was a message from
my mom because of the story I shared with her a few days prior to her passing
and thought maybe that was why the Medium seemed uncomfortable, because she
knew something was going to happen, but didn’t want to say anything.
To this day I have saved that penny
along with many, many other pennies that people have sent to me and their amazing stories and now I want to share them with you.
The top penny on the picture below is the one I found the day my mom had passed and has been on my office phone for the last 8 years. The other one is from another story later on.
