I would like to share something happened today.
This morning I listened to Tapestry on CBC radio which delved into questions of the afterlife. As I was listening, I wondered if Clint might visit me-I feel his presence, but haven't seen anything that might be a sign he's still watching over me. It was just an idle thought on my part really.
Later, I was sorting and painting in Clint’s room as I am having the carpet removed and laminate flooring installed. As usual, I found Clint had done one of his handyman specials which will make the floor installation more tricky and I was muttering at him under my breath. The jobs Clint did in the house were never quite up to my standard and we used to joke about the fact that when Clint thought he had finished a job, he showed it to me and then finished it to my satisfaction!
As I was painting the floor of the closets, inexplicably the paintbrush snapped and still muttering, I went up to the third floor to get another one. As I reached the top of the stairs and looked out on the third floor deck, there was a hummingbird hovering by the door. It seemed to hover until it knew I had seen it, then flew off over the trees and out of sight.
This is the only hummingbird I have seen out there since last spring, when I set up the deck as a sanctuary for Clint while he was having treatment.This amazing little bird became our talisman.
A coincidence maybe, but I think not!
