What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)?
This may sound common and most will think it’s a silly thing to be excited to find. However, it means a lot to me.
Shortly after my grandfather passed away, I found myself struggling to accept his passing. It was a hard pill to swallow and nothing felt right with him gone.
Not long after he passed, I started noticing little “signs” that his soul and spirit was still with me.
I spent a lot of time in my yard during the spring and was sitting on the swing one day when I saw something blow by me on the concrete. It was small and not typically something that would have caught my attention, but it did. I got up to see what it was and discovered a little red feather from a cardinal.
It wasn’t uncommon to see cardinals in my yard and I often made half-jokes saying that it was him coming by to check on us and say hello. As many cardinals as I saw, I never have found a feather.
Again, this seemed like a minute thing, but it was something that I clung to and used as a reminder that he was still with us.
To this day, I still have it and keep it with his other belongings.
