I believe that too Lucky and Dragonfly, our loved ones will do anything to get a message to us and they use the only methods that they know how, I saw my Great Grandfather come to me as a mist when I was a little child, even though it was a mist I knew it was him. My father comforted me saying, "he loved you, he didn't come to scare you, he came to tell you he loved you" .... that was always very comforting.
I had a son that died as a baby at 3 days old and after that, things went missing and then would appear in different places, like a child would play, I believe they do what they can to let us know they are still around loving us and letting us know we are loved.

There is nothing to fear but fear itself....
