So, last night (actually early this morning) I was laying in bed, trying to fall asleep, and my thoughts meandered to my dad, who passed away in 1994.

Currently, I am going through what may end up being a profound (in a positive way) situation. I was feeling deeply emotional/spiritual about this situation, when all of the sudden something in my head felt like my dad was telling me, “Be a good (my nickname)”. Automatically, I thought “I will”.

My right leg happened to be sticking out from the covers and A SPLIT SECOND after my thought, I felt a distinct sensation come over my toes.

It felt like all 5 were being gently squeezed together all at once, similar to how it would feel if a giant rubber band was wrapped around them. The feeling lingered a good 3-4 seconds.

Not only that, but the sensation was electrical/vibrational, similar to how your wrist feels when the haptics of a smartwatch draws your attention to an incoming notification or message, but this felt slightly stronger and more distinct, and lasted longer.

Immediately thereafter, the most intense chill crawled slowly up my entire right leg!!!

I describe it as “comforting” in quotes because it did come out of nowhere, and left me frightened in a sense. Not in a scary way, but in a “WTF was that? Who/what is messing with me?” kind of way.

The fact that the vibration happened IMMEDIATELY after I thought “I will”, as well as the fact that I was feeling emotionally/spiritually intense leading up to the sensation, it makes me believe my dad was reaching out to me, affirming he is aware of the profound positive situation I am potentially facing, and he was gently sending his approval.

Either that……or I had a mini-seizure in my toes and leg. Lol. (And just for the sake of argument, even if it was a foot seizure after all, I just can’t get over the exact timing of it, though! What are the odds that I would feel such a distinct sensation at the exact moment I thought “I will”?!?)
