Wrigley's

So before court today, Denise, the other woman adopting was talking how angels visit her in times of need and times like today. We were like ok, but she said
she gets signs you just have to look. She said she always gets feathers around her(like little angel feathers). I kind of said I would have to see to believe it to her.
So she comes out of her time with court and has a little white feather on her coat. Hmmm ok...

So since Dad has been gone I said, you know I don't have that around me I wonder why? I also said I wish dad would show me something, he never does and it's no fair. I said this out loud to Rich after court going to our cafe...

Ok... so we are leaving Traveler's Cafe today and Rich and I are walking. A white feather comes from the sky and drops right in front of me. It's a white little feather like Denise had on her coat. Hmm ok, Rich and I agreed it may just be from the birds. Of course there were no birds around but still.

BUT, then we go to a restaurant tonight. A little backstory, when I was in college Dad used to send me letters. Included in the envelopes he would include a piece or 2 of Wrigley's Spearment gum, the white kind. It was kind of his thing. I have saved some of those pieces of gum for all of these years, I have them in a box at home along with his letters. So our bill comes and Rich opens it and what is inside? Two pieces of Wrigley's Spearment gum, the same exact kind he would send me. I burst into tears right there in front of the other couple. I know it may sound weird but I knew it was him. I can't explain it but it was....

So I guess he had to prove me wrong today. I asked why he never sent a sign and I guess he had to show me.
I may sound weird but I knew the moment I saw that piece of gum he is around.

I'm saving the gum, it will go in my box. :)

  1. So I told this story to some people at school (weird thing one time I was telling it to a fellow 1st grade teacher and there was white gum laying on the playground at our feet)....

    Anyways, my para told it to her church group and more then one person has cried at how beautiful the story is!!! Totally need to write in to Chicken Soup for the Soul or something! I hear you are going to be making a movie and Betty White will be playing Carole, Natalie is Jenny of the college years, my mom is a homeless person in Russia and I call the lady who gets the feathers!!!

    Not sure why this finally worked, but I am always trying to post and it never lets me...yeah it finally did!
