Thoughts on this “sign”

My dad passed away last week on my (34f) birthday. It was sudden and very unexpected. Before I found out he passed, I was celebrating my birthday with my family and one of my best friends. Late morning, my husband pointed out this crow in our back yard that had been just hanging out on top of our shed for a while. He just mentioned casually that it hadn’t really moved and was just chillin that morning. A few hours later, my friend and I went out for some girl time and when we got back to my house, the crow was sitting on the fence right in front of us when we pulled up. My friend and I talked about the crow for a few minutes (her dad passed a few years ago and she mentioned her family always said crows were a sign of her dad for them). As my friend is digging in the back of her car for something— I’m watching the crow. I said “I think this crow is sick” and the crow is looking at me. Suddenly, the crow tried to flap its wings a few times to fly away, but instead it fell backward and died. Just like that. Right in front of me. I went over to look at it, and it’s lying peacefully with its eyes closed. Dead. This was around 3:45/3:50 MST time.

A few hours later, I found out my dad had died they called his death around 3 PST. His wife found him on the floor in his man cave. He went into his man cave room to lay down and rest for a bit. His phone and drink were placed on the table and he was found laying on the floor face up next to it. He was 64. Yesterday we found out that he died from cardiac arrest. The thought is that he went to lay down, felt something wasn’t right, stood up and collapsed. Just like this fucking crow.

Please tell me your thoughts on this messenger, my dad, coincidence?

As a side note, my husband and I cremated the crow. I felt like I had to honor it.
