Yellow and Black Butterfly

I have a couple of different types of experiences, This happened days after my dad died. I had not seen my dad for 30 years, he did not get to meet my daughters, this weighed on me. My first experience...

Please keep in mind, our family does not have a land line, we use our cells. I had my cell phone in my hoodie pocket and my husband's phone was on his dresser, I was walking past his dresser (crying), my husband's phone rang, I picked it up to see who was calling and the name that appeared in his id was MY NAME. I put my hand on my phone in my pocket immediately to make sure it was still there, then I thought it must be my dad.

My second experience... 2006 Spring came, I had never and to this day have never seen so many yellow and black butterflies in my life, as I had seen that spring. Everywhere I went I saw at least one. With this in mind, my husbands family wanted to have a picnic at a park that was about 15 miles away.

On the way, the road traveled was 50 mph, I am not making this up, this yellow and black butterfly was actually flying outside of my window, I even made a comment to my husband that the butterfly was following us. We got to the park, I got out of the truck and this yellow and black butterfly flew extremely close to me, and flew around me three times, I held my hands to my side still. My husband witnessed it.

When I got home, I said that's it, I am looking up what kind of butterfly this is. Surely there are more than one kind of yellow and black butterflies, the first one that I saw was a Kentucky Tiger Swallowtail. My dad was born and raised in Kentucky. Once again, I thought this has to be my dad!

And yet, other experiences... This does not happen all the time to me, sometimes I know what someone is going to say, the words run through my head before I am told the news. When I was younger I picked up the phone knowing who was on the other line, I have answered the phone with "Hello Whoever", they would ask how did you know it was me? This was before caller ID.

To this day, I do not know how I happen to just know, some things? Do I have any kind of ability?

Thanks
