Magical Gifts and Gratitudes. A Celebration of Life.

Today on my way to a Celebration of life for a friends brother, I had a feeling that my dad and my dear friend would be coming with me. I didn't think my mom would, but I believe I was wrong.

On my way to the Celebration I nearly hit a squirrel who was dancing in the middle of the road. I slowed down and off it went to the safety of the side of the road. I moment later I saw a lovely Red Tail Hawk sitting in a tree. Its feathers were all puffed up because of the cold. I immediately thought of my dad, but he usually appears as an eagle unless we are on our property. I was pondering if it was my friend, my dad or my mom when a 2nd Red-Tail Hawk appeared in another tree along the side of the road.

I smiled when it occurred to me that the squirrel was my friend and the Red Tails were my mom and dad. I expected my dad to go with me, because this young man's dad worked for my dad, as did 2 of the sons. The funeral was for the youngest one.

My heart was full of love of this family as I greeted and hugged each of the 3 siblings. May they find peace in knowing that he is with their parents now. We talked about how close the 4 of them were and how hard it is to say goodbye to their youngest brother.

I was reminded as we talked that their father was one of my role models in life. I told my friend's sister, that because of their dad, I knew what to look for in a man when I was looking for a partner. My husband is so much like their dad. It came out of my mouth in a way that seemed so perfect for today, even though it was for their younger brother, not their dad.

This family is close to each other in a way that I always dreamed of it being for mine. It didn't turn out that way for me, but I sure love seeing it in other families. That kind of love for each other, gives me hope for this world.

I am grateful for the gifts my Angelic Team sent to me today of the Squirrel, and two Red Tails. I am grateful for the Angel numbers I saw after I saw the animals and put 2 and 2 together as to who was who. 888 was on a license plate as I waited at a stoplight. Confirmation that I was correct. I am also grateful for the scent of the sweet cigar that I caught in the wind earlier this morning.

I just now had a nudge from my angelic team to add a picture. You are not going to believe this, but the face of a dog appeared in my coffee foam this morning. I just now realized that my friend's brother was with me, too! He loved dogs. There was a statue of a hunting dog at the Celebration of Life that looks so very similar to this picture. I wish I had taken a picture of that statue, it was a large statue. Puppy size of a Yellow Lab. There was a red collar around the statues neck that was once worn by his best hunting dog.

Now I have goosebumps and tears of confirmation.

Manifest a Magical day and more!
