Goat Sign from Above

Just had to share this FREAKY story with the world. My Grandfather Payne passed away in 2006. My mother (Grandpa Payne's daughter), asked for a sign when he passed that he was alright. A sign that she didn't think she received. He promised her that when he passed, he would rap 3 times with his cane to let her know he made it and was okay. Well, we figure he didn't take his cane with him! It was still by the chair. This year, my mother begins asking for her sign from her Dad a week before the anniversary of his birthday. She tells him there is no excuse for not letting her know he is alright. That he better be figuring out a way to give her a sign! Everyday for a week, Momma makes this request. Momma wakes up on the anniversary of her Dad's birthday and standing at the front door looking in is a GOAT! Mom is like, "What the hell is a goat doing here!" Thinking someone has lost a farm animal, she calls the neighbors to find out if they have lost a goat. None of the neighbors own a goat! Momma begins to ponder on this strange appearance. Then Momma remembers! When she was taking care of her Dad during the last 2 years of his life, he would do things that would get on her nerves. Not all the time, just sometimes. Momma would let a few choice words fly at Grandpa and he would just reply, "Nancy, I am just an old goat!" There was her SIGN! Momma says Grandpa better be finding a way now to tell the goat she got the message and to MOVE ON! :) Coarse, we all know how hard headed a goat is! There's not room for Momma's garden and Grandpa's goat!
