I've never quite noticed the number thing. If there are patterns in my family.......I've missed it. But then I've never looked for it either. Except that all 3 of my bio kids were born around the same time of day, which even the docs thought was unusual since it was late afternoon. And all my kids were born in months starting with J. Family members also tend to pass away on or very near someone else's birthday.
The play on numbers could be to cause you to "pay attention" to something, more that maybe than a puzzle to figure out? Perhaps that certain events in our lives were meant to be, certain people are in our lives because it was meant to be. Patterns tend get our attention, whether that pattern is numbers or something else.
When they cross over our loved ones are still near us, still loving us, worrying about us, watching over us as best they can. As the message Fred told Nichole in a *dream*, one just has to "see with their heart instead of their eyes". easy child found that out the day before yesterday. Fred had been an insisting presence in her dreams the night before, even when she woke and went back to sleep. It caused her a fitful night. She headed off to work that morning unable to shake an uneasy feeling her dad was with her, a feeling so strong she kept turning around and looking into the back seat certain she'd see him there. Then suddenly, this awful feeling hit her and she didn't know why but she slammed on her brakes going 60 plus mph down the highway. A few seconds later ahead of her, a large deer darted across the road, one she didn't see until it was in her headlights. If easy child had not "seen with her heart instead of her eyes" that morning, she would have joined her dad on the other side as she'd have hit that deer at high speed, never seeing it until she plowed into it. There would not have been time to slow down, let alone stop. Fred had gotten easy child's *attention* while she dreamed, so that hopefully she'd *listen* when he needed her to.
I dunno why I felt compelled to tell you that this morning, but I did.
