Hi, four year ago on the 12th of july my brother stanley died . When we were sorting out the funeral and going through his belongings with his wife we found my mothers death certificate and realised she also died on the 12th of july. We thought there was some meaning and consoled ourselves with that. About a week or so later myself and my natural sister were out at the graveyard where my aunties, uncles and grandparents are buried. All of a sudden while looking at my grandmothers gravestone and noticed the date which was also the 12th of july. So that was in the 40-50s my mother in the 90s and my brother in the 2000s, all on the 12th of july. I wonder if there was some meaning I should take solace from because I just can't believe it was coincidence.
