I tend to think that it is a series of coincedences but I'd never tell the family that. Then again, 42 is the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything.

Wholly crap that is a lot of coincedeces that i don't think are just coincidences...

Or are they?

Yeah and I noticed the thing about the time for that post: 10:41!! :-O

This is so funny, I was just about to write a post about my son and numbers. (Sorry, I'm so late. I'm trying to get caught up on my blog reading now.)

I remember reading a story once about how anyone looking hard enough at all the digits associated with everyday occurences can find amazing apparent reepeating digits.

And guess what? This comment has exactly forty-one words, once I add this one ... here.

I'm not a religious person by any means - though I feel a little spiritual sometimes. I, too, have a number I find significant. It is a tough one - while I think that it is easy to misconstrue something or simply spin the facts to fit what you believe, I can't help but feel like there is some energy out there. Then again, maybe that's just life...

Phoenix, you posted this at 10:41, and that last comment of yours was the 41st. You bought any lottery tickets lately ... ?

Jenna's story is spooky. I've never had a stalker before. Especially not one who writes, or claims to look, like that...

jenna and carae, I agree with you both. Sometimes, profound occurances are best left unexplained.

I have a friend that worked in a hospice...she dealt with death every single day. One story she told was that of a watchmaker.

The guy was a sweet old man, and still loved to work with watches and clocks until his physical disabilities no longer made it possible.

He died in the middle of the night, with the nurses trying to revive him. But it was no good. The clock he had made and that was at his bedside stopped at the exact moment of death. The nurses were stunned, and it still gave my friend the chills everytime she tells that personal experience.

My clock here was at 1:41 when I posted the last c...

2006-05-25T12:45:00.000-05:00

I have nothing new to add in the sign vs. psychological construct debate, but to my mind, to a family that's grieving, it really doesn't matter. If 41 gives them comfort, strength, and a smile, then it's really a sign, random or not. Reality is partially what we make it.

I echo the others- great post.

Holy moly. I got chills reading this, especially the bit about the jersey when he was a baby.

There's coincidence and then there's stuff like this.

I recently lost my dad and found myself waking up a lot at night, every night at 2:24 am. One night I was up, prowling around when I found my notebook I had with me in the hospital. In it I found a letter I had written to him and for some reason had written the time in the corner. Letter written at 2:24 am. I had typed the letter into a private blog for my dad and stared at the time stamp. It read 3:26 am. Dad had died at 3:26 pm. I'm no longer waking up at 2:24 am.

There's too much unexplained out there. And this was truly goosebump material. Glad I stalked O'Ceallaigh here.

2006-05-25T11:50:00.000-05:00

You all bring out good points. Like I said before, I think a healthy skepticism is the best way to approach things like this.
To utterly dismiss it completely or to fully believe everything you hear is the same to me.

I think with matters of life and mystery, only personal experience is the real truth.

For this family, burying their youngest son was such a nightmare. But they are reaching out to the families of the other victims, and how can that be a bad thing?

Nick was talented. He was a playwright, a musician, a singer, and a songwriter...all before the age of 18. He accomplished stuff many older adults never get to do.

2006-05-25T11:42:00.000-05:00

I think all of that is amazing. I would never presume to know if it is all coincidence or not. Who are we to act as if we really know?
I am so glad that Nick's family is finding some comfort.
May 41 show up around them until they see him again in the afterlife!

I think that, if you try hard enough, you can really pick a pattern out of anything.

2006-05-25T08:02:00.000-05:00

Great post Phoenix. I can remember this tragedy being on the news in England. There does seem to be more than a passing coincidence.

I've done a number of personal Numerolgy readings for bloggers, friends and family, and you'd be surprised just how important certain numbers are in your every day life.

I member watching the club owner getting sentenced for this...

I think when we lose a loved one we always look for "signs of hope"

It makes living a little easier.

It makes you believe that there "another place and time" where you will meet them again.

VERY sad. :{

NOw I will see 41 everywhere! Actually that was really interesting, I do believe that sometimes it's more than coincidence, especially when it serves a purpose.
great post!

2006-05-25T01:04:00.000-05:00

I really dunno if we can still hang ard when our body died and have been buried/cremated...but there is some concept of the soul...just cos we dunno much abt it, that doesnt make it unreal...

Sad ending to a life of a young boy...41 thingy could be a coincidence but surely not so many times!

Keshi.
