Re: Right place right time
A different answer but il throw it out there anyway as you ask right place at the right time ( being ex forces I guess I have lots of being in the right place right time experiences , conversely others may well think I was in the wrong place wrong time and ruined their day ... so it’s all down to perspective )
Anyway firstly I’d very much like to say I’m a very non religious type of guy so much so my children have never been christened as I’m actually anti religious I guess ... it’s all rubbish as far as I’m concerned although I have read both the bible and Koran but for different reasons so I have a basic understanding ..
With that in mind ( my background /thoughts ) I will try and tell you a very true story that happened to myself ..
My daughters boyfriend bought a new car and like most young men couldn’t wait for his birthday to come and insurance to start meaning he could drive his new golf and stop ‘stealing ‘ mums shopping trolley little fiat thing lol
A few days after his birthday he calls my daughter at 21.30 and asks if she’s coming out for a drive ... Lewis I’m in bed and so no thanks ...
22.45 and Lewis hit a bridge sadly died at the scene , another girl Kirsty who had said yes sadly died 4 days later in a coma ..
A day or two later I was out with my daughter walking the dog in the local fields , beautiful evening not a breath of wind , warm , one of those nice summer evenings we all love however for the above reasons we were walking in silence my daughter in her own thoughts as I walked with my arm over her shoulder ... we chatted and been out about an hour when she says through tear filled eyes ‘ he is okay dad I know that ‘ ... I’m sure he is I replied .. honestly dad he is she said as he sent me a feather ... so to pacify I asked what the thing is about a feather and she said she woke the morning after the accident and found a white feather on her bed ... okay I said wondering what she meant as she went on to explain it was a sign ... hmmm I thought but okay if it helps her get through it ...now this is the rub , there we both are in a field , no trees above us or anything ... and at EXACTLY that moment she mentioned the feather and tried to explain it to me ... a big fluffy white feather floated down ever so slowly right in front of us !!! We both stood watching it as she just opened her hands at it landed on her palm .... she smiled and looked at me happy .
Now coincidence ??? You tell me but it certainly makes me think ... or where we just in the right place at the right time and this feather was just nothing more than coincidence ?
