Message from my Dad.

I see your beautiful train in the sky! It’s been 35 years since my dad passed. He was for long before I was born a dedicated model railroader. Our entire garage was a tiny city! Before he died, he built a working scale model of a Pacific Electric Red Car trolley, which now resides in the Red Car Museum in my home town. Here’s a photo of the actual car he duplicated. Maybe they’re working the switches together somewhere now!

Sounds like your dad was pretty amazing too.

What a beautiful train! A train all white, all soft, all kind, traveling through the sky for you, waving to you, saying, "I'm here, thank you, my son." It's truly beautiful. I love trains, but unfortunately, I live here where there aren't any. But when I was young, we used to go to see my grandmother by train. We would pass by a house shaped like a small castle, designed by Gaudí. Trains are beautiful! Your father loves you; his love for you, beyond time and space, gave you this train as a gift. Thank you for sharing this story.

I’m not sure if this is the right place to post but here’s my story.
My Dad passes away in October last year from Dementia he was 91 and I miss him terribly. I was blessed to have to have the best dad in the world. The last 6 months was hard,Dad was physical there but emotionally and cognitively he wasn’t but I could still go visit and talk to him and hold his hand.
My last visit with Dad I new it was the last time I was going to see him and i said to him if he was ready to go and if his family was calling him it was ok to go and he did 5 days later.
So every day I would chat to dad about anything and everything and let him that we all miss him and hope he’s happy up there with all his family (dad was the last of his siblings to pass away).
I needed some reassurance that he was ok so I began asking him every day to send me a sign that he was ok like a train in the clouds or something like that. I know it was a tall ask.
My dad worked on the railways for nearly 40 years and was obsessed with trains especially steam trains.
About 2 weeks later I was driving home from work and for some reason I had an urge to looked to the sky and there amongst the clouds Dad had somehow managed to send my train.
Not sure how he did it but my heart soared. Not sure how I manage to grab my phone and take a photo whilst driving too .
I have not posted photos before hope I get this right and hope you can see what I see.
