    Many thanks to our wonderful posters and apologies to the mods for all the postings I've made which then turned out that I've been pipped at the post.

    I don't know if this counts, but when we were packing up to move out of our old house, we found a Christmas card from my mother in law, who had passed away six years previously, lying on the hall floor. It had obviously fallen out of the loft whilst we were empyting it, so we took it as a sign that she was watching over us. It now gets put on display every Christmas on the shelf above the hearth with all the other special cards from close family.
