Was this an eerie coincidence?

Last week I was on a cruise and sent laundry out. It came back like this, with the cabin number 5187 upside down.

My mother's name was Lois. She passed away in 2021. At the very least, it made me think of her!

she wanted to let you know that she was there, keeping you safe. I get signs from my husband just like that. It is eerie at first but once you know she will send other reminders.

How comforting that is to know that your mom is still around you.

Every day we encounter an uncountable number of situations. It is inevitable that out of an infinite number of situations during our life time, something weird is going to happen. That qualifies as one.

I'd put it down to coincidence despite being cynical of coincidences. As a former croupier I know that anything that cna happen will happen, eventually.
Meanwhile in cabin 03881 Debbi's son/daughter is freaking out too.

Treasure the moment. A coincidence that brings peace, love, or comfort is valuable, regardless of whether it can be explained.

Eerie, yes (but comfortingly so)... but coincidence? I'd call a "no" on that. I believe things like this happen for us to notice, and often to remember someone dear.

I would be comforted by that.

Even though I am an Atheist, I gotta admit, that's a pretty cool quote.

I believe our loved ones are still looking out for us even though they've passed. This was one of those signs.
