Do you believe in signs? Is it something I should take note of or am I just reading way too much into this? Let me tell you what happened and you be the judge... I went up to Jack's room to get his blankie for nap time and noticed one of my cats going ape in Hannah's room... I looked in and saw that she was trying to capture this bird that was flying in the room... now I don't recall any doors nor windows being open long enough for a bird to fly in... I think I would have noticed... but here is this bird with at least a 12 inch wing span in my daughter's room doing its best to not be eaten... I open Hannah's window and shoo the poor thing out... I thought there's an old superstition about birds in the house but I couldn't remember what it was so I looked it up... some say that birds carry the souls of the dead and that blackbirds in particular are messengers of the dead... I am not your usual kook who takes all of that to heart but today is a bit different... today is Chris' birthday... should that mean something? I did go and light a candle in honor of his birthday and said a prayer that he has found peace... is there something else I am supposed to do? We are going out tonight so the kids can honor his birthday and hopefully we can have a good evening... our morning has been very busy and maybe that was a way to get me to remember him... a person never truly dies as long as there is someone to remember them as they were... maybe it was just an unfortunate bird that found its way into a tight situation... who knows...
