It is a sad and difficult time but I’m finding my tears are for the beauty that does still exist in the world. We have been surrounded by so much love, compassion, and symbolism. I believe that even though the red cardinal is a male each time I saw it outside the living room window it was my grandmother telling my mom it’s ok to come home. The entire family was together on Father's Day. That was followed by a wonderful week of love and family. There was a steady stream of siblings/spouses, nieces/nephews, laughing, talking, cooking, eating, reminiscing, and making new memories. As my niece said, it was grandma,s house right up to the end. Mom was her witty, caring self until the very end. The cancer was taking her body but she refused to let cancer have her spirit.
