Signs From My Dad

[@Leasha0x]

One more big important thing that is totally obvious to all of us who have watched you forever: It is no coincidence you found Max when you did. It’s also not a coincidence you ran into Max the last time you talked to your dad. You called it a transfer of the male figure in your life but consider it your dads approval of you finding such a great man that will forever take care of you and love you just as much as he did. ❤️

[@lilymercer3731]

Alicia W I completely agree with this! This is your Dads way of telling you that you found your person and giving Max the chance to talk to him for the last time as well. Your dad loves you so much just like Max does now. Max came in at the perfect timing in your life and everything happens for a reason 💕

[@GretchenGeraghty7]

so today's been a little on the rough side filming, editing + posting this video. some days are really bad, and some aren't so bad after all. that's really how grieving feels❤️thank you all for all your love and support, it means the world

[@gretascott1168]

Sending you so much love

[@Grace_Davin]

love you Gretchen. for this year I am wishing you a word - “peace” ❤️

[@HollyReardon]

Gretchen Geraghty love u

[@kaylakaufman3759]

Love you Gretchen! You’re so inspiring and beautiful in every way! Thank you for sharing your stories and your life I know it helps and touches so many people! You’re a sunshine in so many lives☀️💛

[@kristinabarker9203]

Sending much love 💕

[@Leasha0x]

The signs become more obvious and the “dad, I see what you’re doing there!!” will be blurted out more often. I find myself randomly catching a sign from my dad who recently passed away and I’ll just say “hi dad, I know you’re there and that was from you!!!” although it’s sad it becomes warm. Keep pushing through G, you’re a warrior.

[@nicolebutler5914]

I couldn't agree more! My dad just passed a few weeks ago and I am really starting to feel his energy at the most random times

[@jennarider514]

Hi Gretchen! I’ve tried reaching out to you over Instagram, I’m sure they’re packed with people but I wanted to tell you that your dad knew my grandfather that I never met and when my dad found out about your dad, he was heartbroken. Your dad was a special man in my grandfather’s life. My dad told me they’d go golfing together all the time before the diabetes took over his body, and I just want you to know how much a positive impact he had on my family’s life, and I am so sorry for your loss ❤️ hope you see this and in some way brings some joy in knowing your dad made many feel so special 💓

[@hallierosenberg]

Wow this is super special (:

[@Jane-xv3dn]

That first sign with Max gave me chills. He’s sending you so many hellos from Heaven ❤️

[@OrianaFunkhouser]

You’re not crazy! The first one with max was definitely him making sure you had someone there to support you when your dad couldn’t anymore!

[@KiaraMadisen]

I can’t stop crying hearing about what a wonderful person your dad was. So glad he’s still sending you signs ❤️ love ya Gretchen

[@Bailsandbandit]

At 20:13 there’s a rainbow shining on your shirt 😱 don’t know if anyone else sees it or if it’s just on my phone but woah 🌈 your dad is always with you 💕💕

[@princess58627]

C. Campbell I see it too!! That’s amazing, he’s always with her close to her heart 💚

[@esligarcia160]

Also I’m so glad your dad and Max has the chance to meet. I kind of feel as your dad couldn’t have left this earth without knowing you and Lucy have to great guys by your side. Love u G XX

[@franciegrasso5011]

Someone told me that grieving is like being a ball stuck inside a box with a button that triggers your emotions. The box starts out really small, so you hit the button more often. But as time goes on, the box grows bigger. The pain and emotions never go away, but you don’t hit that button as often. You are SO so so brave for sharing your grieving process with the world and being so transparent about it all. It’s clear you’ve been able to grow your box 💛💛 so glad you know your dad is close

[@GretchenGeraghty7]

Francie Grasso I’ve heard this too and it’s so accurate💛

[@franciegrasso5011]

Gretchen Geraghty 💛💛💛💛 xoxo! Sending you a big hug

[@sarahbradbury1956]

Lost my dad a little over a month ago. Seeing this gives me hope life goes on but we won’t forget him. Thanks for filming this it’s so helpful for someone going through it too. Xoxo

[@juicygirl38]

Sarah Bradbury i am soo sorry to hear this!! praying for you and your family xoxo

[@blairwaldorf-bass8180]

Sarah Bradbury my dad has been gone for almost 20 years and it does get easier, i know right now it seems like it never will but it does. I’m sorry for your loss 😔

[@madywilliams9618]

Signs are SO important!!! They are what keep us going in the hardest times. ❤️ I find signs of my dad every once in a while too. I also see something in the top left corner of the sunset.. almost looks like a dad holding his little girls hand 😇

[@terramoore1]

Never feel like you have to apologize for crying. It shows strength that you can show emotion and talk about something that your struggling with. Never apologize for that. There is nothing wrong with crying. Your smiling and able to look back on the memories and see signs from him which is so special ❤️ I lost my dad when I was 17 and it’s been 15 years. I still struggle, I still cry, and I still cry happy tears in moments of remembering and even seeing signs is signs. I don’t know you personally but I watch your videos and I want to tell you that I am proud of you for how your handling the loss of your dad ❤️

[@theeturtle87]

I’ve been contemplating going over to my dads house today and I wasn’t going to because I’m tired then I started watching this video. I stopped the video to text my dad and tell him I’m going over because life is short and I couldn’t imagine being in your place

[@avalynnreads]

haven’t even watched this yet but just know I’m going to love it. I lost my dad over 10 years ago now but listening to you talk about your dad and your perspective on his loss has helped me so much & given me so much hope. to this day I still get SO many signs from my dad and its such a beautiful reminder. our dads are always going to be with us. love you gretchen 💜

[@gabriellaiovino2914]

Your dad is watching over you and he is so proud of everything you have accomplished!!!🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

[@nicolewhitley5778]

one time when someone close to me passed away, almost like a father figure to me...on my way to an event in honor of him I had turned on the radio and a song that I had listened to on repeat to help ease my pain came on the radio and it was an older song too. That is a sign, if not one of the biggest and I can relate to you and your loss. He will watch over for you every moment until you both meet again.

[@abigailkemp7626]

She’s literally the sweetest person ever

[@elenagovoni458]

i’m sitting here crying over here to how lovely this story is how your dad is in heaven watching over you and your family and it’s so refreshing

[@beautybymorgannn]

i lost my brother a little over a year ago and thinking about signs he’s given me makes me smile and then i talk about them and i cry. it’s so so hard. this video is really sweet you’ve got this girl

[@paigeandrus223]

this is so beautiful. my twin brother passed away when I was 5 months old. my grandparents put names of people they knew who passed away in a bag and would pray for someone every night in novemeber. they came to my house and had me pick and I got my twin brother. thank you so much for sharing your experience i love you so so much!

[@mychellyashadle952]

Thank you for sharing this video. I lost my mom in 2016 to suicide. The day of her funeral I saw a ladybug in the chair next to me at the funeral. Since then, I have seen ladybugs on days I needed her the most. Sorry you are having to deal with the loss of your father. He would be proud of you

[@mollyann1693]

Grief is a hard thing to go through but the signs make it so much more comforting to know that our loved ones are still with us. I recently lost my grandma and it was one of the hardest things I’ve gone through, but she’s been sending signs and I think that is so cool and comforting. I’m thinking of you grief is hard ❤️❤️

[@taylertibbits2244]

We just put down our dog of 15 years tonight. I came home and this popped up to watch. I needed to hear it, thank you for sharing

[@Hen9207]

I can't even comprehend how difficult this is for you. You're an incredible person. I'm so sorry your family had to lose him.

[@caitlynsherry140]

these are all definite signs! never doubt them no matter what❤️

[@patfagan266]

Caitlyn Sherry you’re the best

[@HarmonyAnn]

I lost my mom in the beginning of my senior year of high school unexpectedly. It was right before I turned 18. A few years later I asked my dad to get our home videos made into dvds & a flash drive so I would have them forever. It was the best gift I was ever given and they are difficult to watch but also make me so happy. I think it would definitely be nice for you to watch those when you are ready. ♡ stay strong girl ♡

[@kirstenpoulos4488]

at my Papou's memorial service there was a white butterfly flying around his memorial plaque/stone. ever since, every life event I always see white butterflies (prom, graduation, etc!!) even on completely random days I need a little reminder I see them. Best moment of my life was when I was climbing up to the Acropolis in Greece (I'm greek, my papou is my grandfather on my greek side) and I saw dozens and dozens of white butterflies all the way up to the top. Signs are so great and I believe they really are reminders from the people we love. Thank you Gretchen for always being so candid about grieving even when it is the hardest conversation to have. Your dad loves you now more than ever, more and more every day. Sending love :)

[@amberburns3357]

You are so strong for sharing this. Thank you for sharing such an emotional video with us. I lost my dad nearly 11 years ago & still say "I hear you dad" when I have a sign from him. I feel like you don't understand signs until it happens to you

[@kittykatty1227]

gretchen, i lost my dad almost 5 years ago. it was the worst thing that has ever happened to me. 5 years and i am still grieving. he didnt see me graduate high school, go to college, graduate college, meet any of my new friends, boyfriends, give me advice in all the hard times, etc. grief is that one annoying person in your life that will never leave you. you just have to deal with it. i always receive signs from my dad and it is so comforting. every time you see your dad's signs or feel his presence, take it in because he will never, ever, EVER not be with you. it's hard, but you are so so strong.

[@kaiit212]

1 minute in and I’m crying. signs from loved ones are the absolute best feeling ever. I’m sorry for your loss 💜

[@lisafox6160]

I recently lost my dad and just watched this for the first time and ugly cried for 20 minutes. Keeping my eyes peeled for signs. Thanking you, from one Albany chick to another ❤

[@kyliesteinhofer4708]

I just lost my dad in June and i can relate so much to these types of videos. Thank you so much for sharing this, much love for you💛💛

[@zakarydv7230]

i couldn’t watch this video without tears running down my face. i have lost people in my life and these signs that keep appearing are so crazy. keep your head up, we are all here for you gretchen !

[@gabrielaumansky2558]

You are really brave for sharing and I think this video will help so many people who are dealing with a loss.

[@kendelllavella2511]

I can’t say I’ve ever experienced what you have but I totally believe in the signs from my own grief as well. You are such a strong, caring, loving individual and it shows. Never lose sight of that. Your dad is so so so proud of you I’m sure of it ♥️🥰

[@abrock514]

Currently crying at work bc I thought I could handle watching this right away...turns out I couldn’t, I can’t even begin to imagine what you were/are going through, but it’s so amazing you see him in all these amazing ways, my mom said when her dad died after his service she heard a song that meant a lot to both of them on the radio, so i definitely believe it’s a sign with yours!

[@mcamilamejia]

It’s crazy that as I’m watching this video, I realize that my dad will be making 8 years since he passed on January 12. Watching your video made me nostalgic as I felt like it was a sign from my dad that he’s still there with me. Stay strong ❤️

[@marleymckay5035]

This is the first video of urs I’ve ever seen. It just randomly popped up on my recommended as I was scrolling down. And I truly believe this was a sign from MY dad who passed away suddenly back in October of 2007. I felt everything u were saying in this video and I’m so happy to have come across ur channel (new subby)! I also feel my dad in strange ways, lights always go off when I’m around. Street lights, car lights, house lights literally anything whenever I pass by and then once I’m away they turn back on. And I know it’s my dad it’s always such a comforting feeling

[@angelaviscusi2916]

I cried the whole video I can’t imagine losing my father. Big hugs to you. Those were definitely your father. Your dad is definitely watching over you and with you all the time

[@emmachiappetta3160]

I lost my step dad unexpectedly three months ago and I’ve always loved your videos. Thank you so so much for making this video and helping me feel less alone. Love you Gretchen 💕

[@cwfcwfcwf]

There is nothing in a man's life he will ever love more than "Daddies little Girl." That is a promise, Gretch. Love you. :)

[@beespiers1925]

Did anyone else notice how much the light was moving on the left of the screen above the utensils the entire video? Love you Gretchen, this video was beautiful ❤️ Angels have the ability to cause beautiful things to happen on earth to let people know they are there. Your daddy is an angel.

[@fashionmixter]

Hey Gretchen, I really get you, this will never stop. Its been a long time but i remember after my step father died(we were the closest since my dad lives in another country) I went to church, I’m not even that religious but where i live there’s a day every year they invite you if you have lost a loved one to celebrate them. So i sit down and wait for it to start and suddenly i felt someone sitting besides me and right at that moment i knew it was him, and its a feeling ill never forget. I still feel him, his laughs and his beautiful smile... I am here with you, like all your followers!

[@carterpennington2804]

My mom passed away a couple years ago, but I saw so many insane rainbows in the months after and always on my birthday and I always say "hi mom" too. Crazy how they are always watching over us!! Sending love!! ❤️

[@score1217]

Ugh- my heart feels for you. When you know, you know. When I was young I lost my brother who had a terminal illness and ultimately passed from it. Our family was in the process of adopting him and his middle and last name was Lee & Hunter, and a few years ago I hit a really rough patch and met my best friend who’s name is Hunter Lee. Now 3 years later we have bought our first home and couldn’t be happier. People come into your life for a reason. Nothing is a coincidence 💕

[@LoganSummers]

I cried watching this but those signs are definitely him and not coincidental. Praying for you!!! I love watching you! Keep pushing he’s always watching 🤍

[@InsightofSamantha]

Wow the first example of you running into max and the reasoning makes me want to cry!!!!! Omg

[@annmarieleahy9780]

I lost my dad last February and I completely understand how this feels. Thank you for making this video. Gretchen, you have no idea how much you have helped me in my grieving journey. We're coming up on the year mark and the holidays were very hard. I had a lot of signs before he passed and still have them today. God is so good.

[@abbysmith3027]

I have cried this whole video. I am so sorry for you Gretchen. Just know that your dad is always in your heart and with you every single day. He is always supporting you and will be with you. Thank you for always taking your time and thought on your videos. You will always inspire me and I will always stay watching you.

[@NoNameCHONK1727]

February 19th will be 20 years since my dad passed, two months after I turned 5. Thank you so much for posting this and for normalizing grief in its various forms. I can tell this was really hard for you to film but it’s such a beautiful and therapeutic thing, not only for you to film, but to share with the world. I can’t thank you enough. You are a warrior and I’m so glad you have such a strong support group to help you keep on keeping on. Love you, G💗

[@erin24788]

this is absolutely beautiful. im from right outside of Boston and my cousin passed from cancer last year and there was a sunset the day he passed too there has also been so many rainbows!! i love that we are able to see our family turned angels too soon in these beautiful signs. love u gretch

[@erin24788]

also birds are a sign, my cousins sister got a cardinal tattoo bc cardinals are a sign of someone who passed and we see them everywhere after his passing. her boyfriend made my aunt a birdhouse with a hand painted cardinal for Christmas

[@cecichavez3889]

I love this so much. I lost my dad two years ago at 16 & for the longest time I was too focused on how hurt I was by the loss that I was missing out on all the signs from my dad reminding me that he’s still and always will be, with me. Been watching you even before your father passed away and always felt like I could relate to you. Now I watch you on days that it hurts too much and days that I feel happiest. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

[@ayydee0930]

I think the moment you say “it’s my dad” it’s absolutely your dad 🤍. He is sooooo present, what a strong soul.. he really is getting across to you. Sending you soooo much love!!

[@Heyitsfionaa]

lost my dad a few years ago from an unknown heart condition that no one knew he had not even him. And although me and him weren't super close being that my parents were divorced and as I got older we didn't see him as much anymore, it still really hurt when it happened since it was so unexpected. Its been a few years since he passed but I still know he's watching over me and I see little things all the time that I believe are signs that he's still following me through every step of my life. losing a parent is never easy but just remember your dad is always there watching over you and you will see him again someday ❤️

[@heeybeebs]

I relate to this so so much. I lost my dad too, unexpectedly at the end of April..he was at Mass General awaiting surgery and passed away... it sucks because I LOVE Boston, I’ve been a Western Massachusetts girl my whole life and being in Boston always made me so happy, but now one of the worst memories of my life is there😔💔.. my dad passed away 2 WEEKS before I graduated nursing school too.. it was suppose to be such (if not the most) happiest time of my life and it ended up being the saddest... it still hurts so much and I know that seeing this video is somehow a sign.. this was my top recommended video when recently all my recommended videos were just makeup tutorials.. these past few holidays were so difficult and I hope you’re doing okay my darling. Your daddy is so proud of you and all you are accomplishing.. just like I know my dad is❤️🕊 even though they couldn’t physically be there to watch us graduate college, they were watching from above smiling down on us❤️. I think God put you in my life for a reason and it’s for you to be able to relate to me so much. None of my friends either have a relationship with their dad or their dad is still alive.. your relationship with your dad and how much of an impact he was on your life mirrors mine. And from the bottom of my heart I am so so sorry to hear about your dad passing away, but my heart is always with you. ❤️

[@colleenseefeldt]

My dad passed 10 years ago and today is his birthday and you uploading this video when you did was such a blessing. He was my best friend and I know how hard losing that person can be and the hard days are hard and the happiest days can be hard too because they aren't there for it. But the little things like signs can brighten any moment. Sending love your way.

[@DeRocco21]

what a great tribute to your dad, he's up there smiling down on you

[@emileegrant6993]

Cannot ever begin to explain how beautiful this video is! From how you talk about your dad, he seems like an actual angel!

[@sidneyr4983]

my grandma passed on monday, this video gave me a lot of comfort..... sending love your way!!

[@victoriadennison8369]

Growing up watching your videos (I spent my preteen to adult years watching with you) and always being so amazed by how cool and kind of a dad you had and how I always wanted my kids to have a dad like yours. You are so loved

[@kana7639]

Wow I’m teary eyed. This past August my grandpa passed. It was very unexpected, he was on the way to the doctors appointment and before he had showered and gotten all ready. It was such a beautiful summer day. I wish I had know that would be the last time I’d see him. I grew up with him (he and my grandma lived with me my whole life). He shows up in my dreams almost everyday and I just feel like he’s always with me. I’m such a strong believer in signs. Sending love ♥️

[@yenifferperezramirez4123]

Definitively cried. It’s been 4 years, I also lost my dad. But I’ve never given myself the chance to cry or talk about it, I know it’s wrong but is like a sirvival way to approach the situation because just like Gretchen who I really admire for being so brave, I also had a very determined, loving and caring FATHER...♥️ keep going girl. You rock.

[@alexbryyan]

You don’t sound crazy at all. I see signs all the time from my grandmother and so does my whole family. Loved ones who have passed will always live on despite being gone❤️ I love you and thank you so much for making me feel like there is more than just a blank wall

[@Xokelseyxo772]

I bawled my eyes out watching this video. You are so incredibly strong for filming this and posting this video. Your dad is so proud of you for everything you have accomplished, your kind heart, your positivity you bring to everyone, and the impact you are making on so many people.

[@jenell9464]

I remember him in some of your videos, especially the one when you got your wisdom teeth out. I remember thinking what a calm, soothing voice he had and how lucky you and Lucy were for having such a wonderful dad. Sending much love and hugs your way.

[@madisondooley431]

Gretchen, Your pain is still so fresh and you are allowed to cry as much as you need. As far as signs, I think finding the beauty in what others find as normal is what makes YOU special. I haven’t lost a parent, but I am a mom- and I hope my daughter grows to be as genuine, wise, and pure as you are. No doubt he is proud and he will ALWAYS be with you. WE LOVE U SWEET GIRL. ❤️

[@nitac01]

Love this video Gretchen. Our loved ones are always with us, not only do we carry a piece of them every where we go, but they pop in from time to time to check on us. Losing a loved one is super hard, and sadly I have known the pain too well, but I also know through the signs and through the love that we all feel for our loved ones that they are not gone, they just simply are not physically with us in this dimension. Proud of ya, Gretch.

[@hannahb4980]

I remember watching old vlogs of you and Lucy back at home helping your dad build things. You could tell you looked up to him and loved him so much Gretchen. 💖

[@sarakimdallaire]

Maybe it’s just me, but I see it has the universe/your dad handing max to you right before he passed. As trusting that max will be there for you in the long run taking care of you forever. Sort of like what you would do at a wedding as your dad walks you down the aisle ❤️ you’re videos have helped me tremendously in these past months and I just want to say thank you for always being real and raw with us 🙌🏼

[@mags4352]

I’m bawling and I wish I could have hugged you through the tv. I know just how you feel about the signs. I’ve had so many amazing signs from your Dad and Maureen. Such special and beautiful reminders of what amazing people they were. I have been getting visits from a male and female cardinal this week. I’m convinced it’s a sign from them. I’ve got some other really mind blowing ones I’ll have to tell you about sometime. I miss my big bro so so much. I see so much of him in you and your sis, so your visit was very special for us too. Please come any time! Love you, sweetie!

[@morganmercer2321]

I’ve been anxiously waiting for this video. I love it Gretchen! I lost my dad unexpectedly when I was younger and I love that you talk about your dad on your channel so much. I know it helps you, but you’re also helping other people not feel so lonely during the hard times. Tragedies like this suck but God wouldn’t put you through anything He knew you weren’t strong enough to get through. Don’t ever apologize for being emotional!! You’re allowed to grieve, it’s apart of life. You’re amazing, girl. Your dad is sooo proud of you!! 💓

[@morganmercer2321]

Update, I walked outside tonight to watch this video because my mom and our friends had music playing throughout the house. I finished watching and walked in and my dad’s favorite song was playing. I was like mom you’re not gonna believe this!!! Lol

[@maddiemann6779]

As weird as this sounds, I kind of see this video as a sign to me. I lost my mom a couple of years ago, and I was just talking to my boyfriend tonight about how you have always been my favorite KZbinr, but I felt even more closely related to you when your dad passed away because you have been so open about it and it has been so relatable and calming to me, in a way, to hear from someone I look up to so much that is going through such a similar situation. When I got in bed and opened KZbin tonight, I saw this video and immediately thought that this was a sign. Thank you, Gretchen ❤️

[@lauraheathcott4713]

It truly is a blessing that you’re able to recognize your Dads presence. Each and every time, it will make those signs more and more special. The phone call that you had with your Dad was, in a way, a goodbye and passing the torch to the man who will take care of your struggles like your Dad did for you. When Max serves that role, your Dad is doing it through him. You are so brave and incredibly strong, and I so admire your ability to speak to an audience like this. Lots of love!!!

[@codidwatson]

I love this. I lost my mom on dec. 22nd, the day after I turned 21 and it has been so extremely hard. it makes me so sad thinking of other people that have also had to go through this. sending you so much love 🖤🖤

[@kkcrapes]

i'm so proud of you for posting this Gretchen. I lost my dad 4 and half years ago and grief still hits me. I also have a tattoo for my dad and I miss him every day. Every time I see a butterfly it's like knowing he's with him and watching over me. This video was hard for me to watch so I can only imagine how hard it was for you to film. Something that's been super helpful for me is raising money and awareness for Heart Health Reseach as that is how my dad died, it's helped me to leave a legacy for him and to show people the mark he left on everyone he ever met. if you know of a cause he loved you can donate in his name to keep his legacy alive.

[@anner1460]

You’re so strong girl. This video is beautiful and you have such a beautiful heart. Your dad will always watch over you and he’s watching you grow into a wise woman. He couldn’t be anymore proud of you from heaven. Prayers to you always ❤️

[@michaelaburr1720]

absolutely love how vulnerable and open you are in this video. it really shows how everyone is dealing with something and it's important to be kind to one another. thank you so much for sharing and providing such a loving community on youtube!

[@ainsleysullivan8058]

i get signs from my dad too and they are sooo sooo amazing!! he’s been gone for two years on friday. thank you so much for sharing it’s so cool to see other people’s signs.

[@TheHipdeathgoddess]

I unexpectedly lost my dad on March 5th 2014. And girl, the signs are the best reminders that he’s here with me ❤️ it was incredibly hard getting through highschool after he passed away, because I was only 17 and with it only being my brother and my mom and I, things changed so much. They still will never be the same. My dad and I were the closest out of all of us. He was my best friend in the entire world. I always wonder why the world was so cruel to take my dad away. But he’s here with us. ❤️ I got a tattoo of my dads writing too, and so did my mom. Mine says “I love you - dad” and my moms says “I love you now, later and always - Jon”. I just love having his writing with me. ❤️

[@haileyblount8598]

Gretchen, thank you so much for sharing the part of you heart with us. My family is such a huge believer in signs and it is definitely a helpful push in the grieving process. I lost my last grandparent soon after your dad passed away. Just know that when I watch your videos your positive light always shines through even when you’re sharing those real grieving moments. Thank you again for sharing these signs with us I hope you always continue to look for them. ❤️

[@madisonelyse6517]

i've thankfully never had to experience this, but i have a few friends who have and while they dont always share their feelings you make it so much easier for me to understand what they have gone through and how to be there for them, your dad is so proud of you he sounds like an incredible man

[@hannahbelle022]

i lost my dad a couple years ago to a heart attack and we were like best friends and super close. i feel you and i know how hard it can be. your dad is with you everywhere. he is so proud of you and everything you have done. ps thanks for being so real

[@courtneypotter5783]

i lost my dad unexpectedly too, next month it’ll be two years. this hit me so hard. you are so strong gretchen and i just know your dad will be so so proud of you and your family and your strength. all these signs are definitely your dad showing you that is still and always will be with you. sending you love always ❤️

[@kaitlyn7686]

Girl you're totally okay. You don't need to apologize. We understand. People are right - it never gets easier but the ones we love are always watching over us.

[@marystager9025]

Wowie I am sobbing🥺 You are such a strong person and I know that your dad is so so proud of you and always with you! My grandfather passed when I was in the 4th grade and his birthday was March 3, 1933 (3.3.33) and in the past two years, I have seen 333 or 33 everywhere! I know that he’s making himself known even though he’s in heaven and it brings me so much peace! I love ya and what an amazing and sweet soul you are!

I had just gone to a medium recently to talk about my grandfather passing away and your signs are so similar to mine, it is crazy how they communicate with us. love you Gretchen these signs are love reminders. (:

You're not crazy at all! I will even go so far as to ask my step dad for guidance.....literally outloud. I then see signs to guide me on the way. Whether these would've been there or not, I know its him opening my eyes to right path. The ones we love never really leave us. Hang in there. It's been 2 years since my step dad passed and there are still hard days, but most days I'm just smiling over a memory or something he taught me. ❤

I lost my dad in 2018 and my relationship with him seems similar to yours with your dad. I always admire how outspoken you are about the grieving process. going on 2 years in april, I can vouch that you will learn to manage your grief easier although it may not hurt any less, you'll become stronger and learn to appreciate the little signs even more. thank you for sharing this!

I can relate so hard to these types of videos. Despite it being hard, thank you for sharing and always being so open. In March I had a trip planned and 4 days before I unexpectedly lost my dad. He helped me plan it and I had so many signs from him to still go and have fun. Little did I know I was going to be proposed to! It was hard being so happy while also grieving but it was comforting knowing he approved and was there with me ❤️

I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer when I was 11. He is my invisible best friend and I know he’s always looking out for me. Before he died, he and my mom worked out that a way he would show us a sign is he would knock on our door or ring our doorbell. This happened once a couple months after he died when we were watching a video of him, and this last summer. I was on the phone with my mom after a situation just happened where I got VERY lucky. I said to my mom “you know I always seem to make it out of every situation by the skin of my teeth. I think dad is the one helping me. He really is my guardian angel” and my mom said all of a sudden she heard loud knocks on both our front and back doors. She was alone. My parents house is in the middle of no where. Your dad is living your life alongside you now too every step of the way, sending signs and helping you every way he can 💕

I lost my older brother in February 2017 and he was big into the electronic music scene and always dreamed of going to a festival in our state called Electric Forest. Flash forward to September of 2017 and I met my boyfriend of now over 2 years and he is huge into the same music as my brother. June 2018 we went to Electric Forest and celebrated my brothers presence with a lantern that would remain lit throughout the festival. When I lit it I felt my brothers presence there unlike anything I’ve ever felt, just like when you spread the glitter. I hope you feel all the healing things in this never ending journey of grief. I’m here for ya girl

I am so proud of you for posting this, and so glad you did! I have luckily never lost a parent, but I lost my grandma suddenly not long ago and it might sound weird but I know I get signs from her too. On the day she passed, at first I didn't know until my mom called me. It was a beautiful summer morning and I went for a drive to clear my head before I got the call. As I was driving, a cardinal swooped in front of my car suddenly. If you know anything about these birds, their behavior isn't usually this random and out of place. My gram always had a weird relationship with these birds. She collected little cardinal trinkets and it was her favorite bird. It wasn't long after seeing this bird that I received the call I had been dreading. After, I looked up more about cardinals. They are the only birds who have the same 'soulmate' or mate their entire lives. But more importantly, cardinals can be thought of as spiritual messengers or spiritual protectors. I still to this day often see cardinals when I feel lost in life or am thinking about her. Xx

I am seriously sobbing. You are so strong G, I am so proud of you and wish you so much happiness.

I lost my dad 15 yrs ago today when I was 1 was 15 ! It’s has been a rough day but seeing your video reminds me he is still w me , So true the pain never goes away you just learn to deal with it . I truly believe my dad put my husband in my life . 5 years after he died I decided to move to Florida ( half the side of the country I live in Boston ) I kept feeling someone or something telling me to do so . So I did .(crazy I know) 2 months later I met my husband married 4 months into our relationship ! 9 years later and we are happily married w a almost 3 year old and moved back to Boston ( both of our families are from her ) the coincidence of all that I feel like his energy made it all happen . My husband has been the best decision I have ever made , I was in such a dark place missing dad and he brought joy esp my son !

I lost my dad in 2013, he and my mom would have celebrated their 24th anniversary on October the 7th, so crazy that both numbers are just 1 off from your parents. I have been watching you since you were in high school and I am so proud of you girl. And you're making him so proud every single day.

[@haleywarrington3552]

i wish i could give you a hug Gretchen.I lost my dad years ago and its the hardest thing ever. You'll continue to see signs of him everyday and its a reminder he's watching over you! Your so strong and beautiful and deserve the best.

[@lauren236]

I am sobbing, thank you so much for sharing. Signs are messages just for you which is why they always “sound crazy“ out loud. Your dad was an amazing dad no doubt. Thank you for being such a positive light & for being so open with us. xo

Bittersweet symphony is me and my dad's favourite song. He is my best friend and I could not imagine losing him.. Gretchen I'm so sorry that you're going through this, and if you need to talk to anyone I'm here for you
