The Beautiful Sign That Helped Ease This Woman’s Retirement Fears — From Her Late Father
When Woman’s World reader Krista Burrows was making a decision to retire, her father sent a sign to confirm that he was proud of her
One of my favorite memories was camping with my parents on Long Beach in British Columbia. It was the early 1970s, and I was 7 years old.
One day, my dad and I were walking along the beach, and we found a skate fish—which is similar to a stingray— dead on the sand. I begged my dad to let me bring it home, but he explained that it would decompose.
I was so sad and too young to understand, but as I got older, I realized that my dad had managed the situation well in explaining and consoling me. It is such a special memory, and whenever I see a skate fish, it reminds me of this day with my dad at the beach.
I recently retired from my job after 36 years, and my coworkers organized a farewell party at the office. During the party, two of my coworkers pulled me aside to present me with a gift. I opened it to find a pottery dish, and the design on the dish featured a skate fish. They mentioned that it was made by a local artist. I could not believe what I was seeing and told them my special memory of my dad at the beach and the skate fish that I had wanted to keep.
They jokingly said that they knew I liked them “because they had asked my dad.” When I replied that he was no longer with us, they joked that they had somehow contacted him. We had a good laugh about it.
When I showed the gift to another coworker and told her the story, she immediately said that it means that my dad is here and is sending a message that he approves of my decision to retire. This was such a blessing as I had been struggling with my decision. The beautiful pottery dish is now displayed in my home and reminds me he is here with me.

“Krista’s story is a beautiful example of how our loved ones send signs of love and encouragement—often through the hearts and hands of others,” said Sunny Dawn Johnston, Angel Expert & CEO of School of Light, has created a movement dedicated to spiritual, personal, and business growth.

Her father found the perfect way to say, “I’m here.” Moments like this remind us that when we’re questioning our choices or seeking reassurance, the angels hear us. Krista’s memory, the skate fish and the perfectly timed gift were all divinely orchestrated.”
