Signs of Hannah?

This was the only personalized DVD they had hanging on a display

Before Hannah passed away, I was very skeptical about the world of spirits and interpreting coincidences as “signs.”   But since then, I find myself questioning my skepticism.

There are various signs that I see that make me think that just maybe Hannah’s spirit is truly around me.  The entrails from the fighter planes, the little purple colored hummingbirds that hang out in our backyard that I had never seen before, etc.  Just here and there, but nothing really stood out to me and said “Whoa!”

Until this past Saturday night.  Ethan was at his grandparents that night to spend boy-time with his cousin, so we decided to have a very Abby-centric day.  Just me, Daddy, and Abby.   I coached her volleyball game earlier that day, and then she and Daddy had gone to the movies.  We wanted to do something fun and difference so we decided to go down to the Vegas strip to the Fashion Show Mall and walk around.  You know, play tourist – this mall is HUGE!

She loved it because she was able to spend her birthday money at the Hello Kitty store, and got to walk down the fashion runway and pretend to be a model  (there was no show on, just the walkway was out).

The three of us went to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner.  While there, Daddy posted a check-in on Facebook that he was there for dinner “with his girls.”  Usually, he would say me and Abby specifically, but not this time.  Didn’t think anything of it.   We did end up talking about Hannah a lot during that dinner because Abby kept bringing her up in a lot of conversations.

After dinner, we walked about 200 feet and saw a vendor along the glass balcony.  All three of us stopped in our tracks.  It was a booth that sold personalized gift items.  Most of them were facing the other way towards where the most people are, but the closest one to us faced directly to us.

The name on the CD was “Hannah.”   It was a Mickey and Minnie Disney personalized Disney song CD.

Oh-my-friggin’-you-know-what!   We all just freaked out, and Daddy took this picture.  Looking more closely at the booth, there were no other Disney CD examples.  Just that one – with Hannah’s name on it, spelled our way!

Then, to top it off, Abby wanted Jamba Juice for dessert.  Weird request, all the way at the other side of the mall.  But it was Abby’s night, so we were off for Jamba juice.  We get there, and Abby immediately recognizes a bag of white cheddar Pirate’s Booty – this was Hannah’s favorite snack, favorite flavor even, when she was eating by hand!   Abby wanted a picture with her and the bag.

This one was really hard to believe it was all coincidence.
