My father passed away on Thursday. I won’t go into much detail, only to say that he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 3 weeks ago and that it metastasized to his liver quickly. I was with him when he passed, it appeared to be peaceful. Both my sister and I had the chance to say our good byes before he slipped into a coma, so I am thankful for that.
Yesterday, at the Sacramento airport, I was waiting for my flight home and I stopped to use a pay phone. Now, nobody these days uses coins for the phone, there are so many other options. So imagine my suprise when I found a bright shiny penny by the phone. I have read that when a loved one passes on and you find a penny, it is their way of telling you that everything is alright and they are safe. So if you saw a woman crying and smiling at the same time at the Sacramento airport last night, it was me.
Has anyone else had any similar experience?
My dad died of lung cancer. Oh - not that experience. Never found a penny afterward, that I recall.

I’ve never heard that about pennies before! That’s neat.
I’m really, really sorry about your dad.
When my first husband died, I moved back to my hometown to live with my parents. After a few months I moved into my own apartment about an hour away. I got the keys, went to the completely empty apartment and looked out the window - on the outside sill was a penny. I have no idea how it got there; that’s always been one of ‘those’ experiences. It was a 1991 penny, the year we got married. I kept it in a pouch on my keychain for years. My now husband made a frame for it and it sits on our mantle with our wedding pictures.
My sincerest condolences on the loss of your father.
beckwall so sorry about the loss of your father. I’ve heard about the “pennies from heaven” before. Glad you found one.
