Dad’s Memorial Service was Saturday, May 24. While contemplating the upcoming afternoon service over coffee, a flash of red caught my eye out the huge window of our downstairs “apartment.” It was a female cardinal. I hastily grabbed my phone and successfully captured this image.

Ecstatic to have captured my first EVER cardinal with my lens ( and eyeballs), I wondered if seeing a cardinal was a sign of good luck. Google told me that not only was seeing a cardinal good luck, but they also bring a message from a recently passed loved one.
“The Cardinals are the messengers of God, for those who hope and seek blessings for their ailing souls.” – Victoria McGovern
Thank you, Dad, I love you forever. 🐦
