Already Seven Years...

...that my dad past away today (April 17th, 1999). I read this story a few years back and since then, I never looked at a found penny the same way...

Remember this every time you pass that little penny in the parking lot.
I use to think that it was for Good Luck, but I love this version better:

I found a penny today

Just laying on the ground.

But it's not just a penny,

this little coin I've found.

Found pennies come from heaven,

that's what my Grandpa told me.

He said Angels toss them down.

Oh, how I loved that story.

He said when an Angel misses you,

they toss a penny down.

Sometimes just to cheer you up,

to make a smile out of your frown.

So, don't pass by that penny,

when you're feeling blue.

It may be a penny from heaven,

that an Angel's tossed to you

So now pass this on to the people who you care about and who you feel are angels to you, I just did. An angel is now watching over you.

One thing for sure, I know that my dad is watching over me.

Tu me manque vieux!
