4 years

April 8, 2026

My Dad passed away 4 years ago. It still seems inconceivable that he is gone. The morning of the anniversary of his death, I had made my coffee and was headed upstairs to wake Samantha up for her soccer game. In a split second, something told me to stop and just sit for a minute. I sat at my spot at the table and looked up and directly in my line of sight was this guy…

He hung around for a minute, flitted around, and then flew off. He stayed just long enough to make sure I saw him.

They say “when cardinals appear, angels are here” and I believe it. Thanks for stopping by Daddy.

In looking for a picture to share, this one seems appropriate…

Not Hawaii but the Polynesian Resort at Disney…a close second! We miss you Daddo.

Would love to hear from you! 4 Comments
