Recuperation journey: Cardinals among us

"May you come to find comfort in and remember:
Cardinals appear when angels are near.
So go now, sit outside and drink your tea.
Keep a look out for the little red bird —
It is there, your loved one will be."

- Victoria McGovern 

I love this cardinal ornament I bought from a talented friend who lives in Seymour. 
She had posted a photo of it online and I was one of many, many readers who wanted one. I'm wondering how many she created!

My mother died in 2016 and since then I have seen so many cardinals in our yard that I had never noticed before. 
I like to think it's a sign she's visiting me and watching over our family.
