I remember it just like it was yesterday.
The day of the funeral I remember sitting on the front porch of my house and seeing a Cardinal flying around the house. My mom said that it was her dad coming to see her and tell her that everything would be okay.
We saw that Cardinal for years and mom always said it was her dad just checking up on her.
After losing my mom I looked for a cardinal immediately. I didn't see one until a month after her passing.
I was laying in my room watching tv with the blinds open, I saw something fly by and it caught my attention.
I looked out the room and saw a Cardinal sitting there in the tree.
I smiled, and it flew off.
I haven't seen a cardinal since.
Well, Sunday I woke up kind of early and couldn't fall back to sleep.
I was laying on the couch with Chico thinking about how I wish my mom was here. There's just so much going on in my life that I wish she was apart of. I wish I could hear her voice again, and let her share her wisdom with me.
I went to get ready to take my bridal portraits and as I showed up a bird flew right past me. I didn't think about it until I had walked under the balcony I decided to back track and realized it was a Cardinal just trying to get my attention.
There it sat.
Quiet.
Looking at me.
I tried to get a picture but it flew off.
That weird feeling I was having all morning suddenly went away.
I felt as if things were okay again.
I went on about my business, got ready, took my pictures and all was right in the world.
If I could bet money, I bet there was a Cardinal out there while I was taking my pictures!
Missing you always mom.
