She Left Me Feathers
One of my favorite gifts
My grandmother was one of the best cheerleaders and most compassionate people I knew.
After her passing in 2004, seeing feathers has been a subtle reminder of her. A sign she was thinking about the family. I can’t remember if we directly asked her for the sign or just began assuming.
Instead of being a publishing machine today, I went to the lake. I allowed myself to breathe, watch geese and reflect on the month that was June.
My mom wanted a photo at Perry Monument. When I got closer to the lake, I found these feathers.
Yes, there were a lot of birds. However, I still choose to believe that my grandma left me a clear message- I love you sweetie and I’m proud of you.
