My mother passed away January 6, 2000. Since then there have been a
lot of legal battles over her estate. Her birthday is on April 6th and
mine is April 10th. A friend of mine mailed me a bouquet of flowers
whereupon I put them in back of my mother's photo frame and said, "Mom,
I know you like flowers... happy birthday, anyways." Well, on my
birthday about 10 p.m. I was watching TV. All of a sudden the computer
turned off (it was on idle), then the TV, then the microwave went off.
These three things run on three different fuses in the power box. I
checked them. I turned back on my computer, TV, and reset the microwave
timer... then went to sit down to watch TV. A few minutes later, the
computer went off, the TV went off, and the microwave went off. The
fuses were not burnt. I turned all three things back on. Again, five
minutes later they went off.
I decided to leave them off. I said out loud, "Mom, if that's you, I
recognize it's you saying happy birthday to me." I went to bed and as I
laid down I heard a loud thump in the living room. I was afraid to get
up and take a look, so I went to sleep. The next day I went into the
living room to look around (I don't usually keep change on the floor or
the rug) but I found a clean penny with the date that had the year 1999.
It was the last full year that my mom lived. I found it underneath the
computer table where I usually sit to do my work. Since then, there have
been no more incidents like that one.
