I am missing something and I’m not sure what.

OK this might sound like utter rubbish but to me its not. 

Since K died H reckons she ‘hears’ from him. Some of the things she has told me she could not possibly have know. 

I’ve sort of humoured her unsure of how she could know some of the things she has come out with but I’ve always put it down to childhood memories or that she might have caught the tale end of conversations but she remained convinced her dad was telling her these things. 

Yesterday we went to the grave yard where we saw 6 magpies – the rhyme goes “6 for gold” so we joked about winning the lottery. 

She got out of the car at his grave and told him if he didn’t help get Tidgy home she was done with him and she’d never come back – all said light heartedly but deep down she was asking her dad for help. This morning she gets told Tidgy is coming back to Yorkshire!!!!

Anyway back to yesterday – H and D had a huge row – stress of the situation but it upset me greatly to hear them yelling at each other – I was tried out and wanted to go to bed but I ended up sitting in my car for an hour.

Cut a long story short when I eventually got into bed she came through – she was resting her head against my leg and I turned the light out – she said to me “dads here mum” I was like “yeah woteva” so she said “Mum I swear he is trying to tell you something” 

So to call her bluff I said to her “ok ask him what his best friend at school was called” she went so silent I thought she had fallen asleep – now I know beyond a shadow of doubt there was no way she would have known that as he really never spoke to them (my girls) about his school days - which was later this afternoon confirmed by B who I asked the same question to but she had no idea. I could feel H moving on my leg when she shouted out “T….His name was T” she was absolutely right. So I said to her out of all the things at school that he hated what did he hate the most (he went to a public boarding school)  so there was a lot he hated but one thing in particular that I knew she wouldn’t know. Silence again – then she said “Mass – he hated mass” I asked B today what she thought he hated most and she said ‘gravy’ but we all knew that – H & B never knew that every Sunday they got dressed up and went to mass – the thing he hated the most. 

Still unconvinced at H’s answers I sent her off to bed to ask him to give her a question only I would know the answer to. 

I got a text off her this afternoon saying “what was the name of the shop he bought your engagement ring from and what happened to the underpants?” 

For the life in me I had no idea what the shop was called it was 27 years ago now since he bought that ring and it was a German shop so how the heck would I remember, as for the underpants fuck knows ………………. Anyway when she got home D went off to football and she was chatting as she does when she said to me “did you remember the name of the shop?” I said “no” then she started to question me about the underpants! 
I said to her he had loads of pairs how was I supposed to know which ones he was on about when a sudden memory came flashing back the shop was called ‘(something) Gold' and he once had a pair of gold coloured undies (they are a novelty pair someone bought him for Christmas) 

So I saw 6 magpies and she asks me two questions that’s answers are both gold!

So is there a connection? If there is I can’t work it out - is she really in contact with her dad? I’m still waiting for that one defining thing but she seems convinced, and now I can’t get it out of my mind that I am missing something ……………..but what?
