The day my mother died in 2004, I was in Finland. I got the news at 4 am on an early April morning while it was still dark. I was still a smoker and after a few minutes, I went out into the cold night and had a cigarette.
While I stood there under the clear sky I thought of a conversation she and I had had by her bed and I said that after she dies to give me a sign if there is an afterlife or not. I smiled at the thought and said 'Well, where is the sign?'
I looked up and immediately and directly overhead shot a very bright shooting star.
wow, that's a powerful coincidence!
