Ruth,

You are not crazy! I believe it was your father letting you know that he was there for you and looking after you.

I have moved so many times I've lost track. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer I moved to GA to live with my daughter and her family. When I was going through my drawer one day I found a rosary - just a blue plastic one and on the cross was scrapped "E.McC 3-17-59" I had no idea where it came from as I had never seen it before. I knew the McC was from someone in my family as my name is McCarthy. I called my brother Joe since he is the geanologist in the family and told him about it. Turns out it belonged to my father's sister, Eleanor, who died of ovarian cancer. I have no idea how it came into my hands but feel it's a sign from God. I use the rosary every night to pray for all the women and men on this board who have cancer and also for all of their caregivers.
