I was always told that if you see a Cardinal (or I call it a red bird) that it means an angel is near by.
When Lena was born the first few weeks I would see one outside the bedroom window mostly every day. I couldn't help but think it was my Mémère coming to pay a visit to her great granddaughter.
Within the past week now, I have seen a red bird twice, once at the park and again today. As soon as I saw her I couldn't help to smile and all of sudden it was like this big weight has been lifted off of me. I don't know what it was or how to describe the feeling I had but I just knew she was there. She was a very strong, hard-working, gracious woman, and my biggest role model.
