The number 13

The number 13 now holds a special place in our lives. Akul was born on February 13 and the date is entrenched in our hearts. I have blogged in the past about Akul's visitations... I talked about American idol selecting 13 finalists and the 13th finalist being an Indian. I talked about Akul visiting me in my dreams, but I never told you that Sunil, a numbers person, has been encountering the number 13 in the strangest of places. So many times, he looks at the clock and it is at the precise moment when it is 13 minutes after the hour. He showed me scenes from movies where the number 13 was written on buildings. I have always dismissed this as coincidence. I always nod to make Sunil happy but in my heart I think we notice the number because it has special significance for us. But today I felt the power of "13". My husband has been on the lookout for a restaurant for quite some time now. Today we went to the mall where he is interested in renting a space. He had invited a friend who has worked in the food industry for years, to get a second opinion. This friend told us that one way to check the place out would be to use a counter to see how many people actually eat in that food court. He handed the counter to Sunil. Sunil took one look at the counter, blinked, looked at me and said "look at the number here." I looked at the counter and a 13 looked me straight in the eye.

  3. That's really amazing. I have the same thing lately with the number 111. I see it everywhere! Every time I see it I feel like it means our 3 children; Zoe, and twin girls. I could be crazy! But, if the number 13 brings a smile to your face...there is nothing crazy about that at all. Hugs to you!

  6. I just wanted to add, I was on my blog and looked at my blog roll. It said your blog name, and this posts title. Below it, it said 13 hours ago. I never would have thought anything of it before I read your post.

    *hugs*

  7. Goodness, I would say that definitely that your Akul is giving you signs. It's a beautiful thing that you are open enough to recognize them. I hope that you and Sunil find your restaurant and that all works out well for you two in pursuing it. Hugging you
