I have come to understand we are blessed with reminders of our loved ones after they are gone from us... When I see butterfly's flitting flower to flower playing in the wind I feel my daughter Amanda who passed in 2003 is near; the rich humus smell of fall leaves on a breeze and I know my Mom is close by; when the crows start to chatter I know my Grandma isn't far away (she loved feeding the crows though most farmers think of them as pests). Funny thing is, these occurrences seem to happen when I need them most, if I need advice or even a little cheering up.
No doubt your Cardinal friends are there to comfort you. No need to ask how or why, just take strength from their visits and enjoy the moment :-)
Sending my prayers and best wishes for your husband's speedy recovery.

What a wonderful story. We all enjoy bird watching for different reasons and this is a story that I will not soon forget. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
