My 1st Penny Story

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 29^th 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.
