We had seen so many signs....we asked for some, others just happened. It was so clear and obvious. The bluebirds, the ladders, the sense of peace and finding just the perfect places to take Daddy. Daddy's ashes are scattered in many different parts of New Mexico and a couple of places in Texas that he loved. He would be thrilled, not only with our choice of places, but with our diligence and our determination to make his final wishes perfect for him. By honoring what we know he wanted, we have found peace within ourselves. We have come full circle and have now created happy memories involving Daddy. While it is heartbreaking that the majority of our good memories with him didn't happen until after his death, the memories we made are priceless and without him, would not have been possible. We sought the good and in doing so, we were able to let go of some of the bad. We both know, without a single doubt, that we have done exactly what he would have wanted. And I really believe that is why we keep seeing signs. It is encouraging and affirming. I have personally never felt so right about anything in my life. He would be so proud of us. He was proud of us.....we know that.
And so, our trip was over and it was time for me to fly back to Texas. I got on the plane and buckled my seat belt. And then I looked up and saw the back of a man's head two rows in front of me....the back of a man's head, with beautiful white, perfectly combed hair. White hair EXACTLY like my Daddy's hair. I got a huge lump in my throat. It could've been him, but it wasn't. And yet, I know that I had just been given another sign......
