Back on August 8th 2011, my post mentioned that I was seeing many Cardinals in my backyard, so many that I couldn't even count them.  Hadn't seen one in the front yard I don't think ever. Then while I was standing outside talking to my mother in law on the phone one day, I mentioned all of the Cardinals in the backyard to her.  She advised me that when my wife (Jami) was a child she would see a Cardinal and yell out "Redbird Redbird" and scare them away.  After she told me of this, I couldn't find a Cardinal anywhere. All of August flew by, no Cardinals anywhere, then September came, no Cardinals, then last week Sep 22, (my birthday), I was looking out of my living room screen door, gazing at the ceramic bunny that I had put on the front yard tree stump with Jami in mind.  It was her bunny and I deliberately put it there for her.  While I was standing there, thinking about her, looking at the bunny, here comes a Cardinal, the first one I had seen in 1 1/2 months.  It came from one corner of the front yard, and was running right up to the bunny, got about 1 foot away from it, and took off in flight, over the bunny, over the front door that I was looking out of, and over the roof!  I know she wasn't the Cardinal and I'm not saying she was or the Cardinal was even her.  Experiences like these are signs, very distinct signs of our loved ones showing that they are still around us, alongside of us, and with us, showing their love, and giving us comfort and peace!  

That, my friends was extremely extraordinary and Amaze-ZAaa-Zinggg!!!!!!

I have to dig out my Cardinal baseball jersey now and wear it!!

I love you Jami and I refuse to be without you!
