The back story on the little cardinal...

After my Dad passed I would always see a cardinal in my backyard.  No matter when I was back there I could find him either in my trees, on my fence, in the neighbors trees, etc.  Everytime I would go back there I would just start looking for him and I'd find him.  I started saying "Hi Dad".  I told my Mom about it and she thought it was great, because even though my Dad wasn't a "bird lover" so to speak, he did like sitting on their backporch and watching birds.  My father passed in 1997 and my mother passed in 2006.

The day I was released from the hospital from transplant when we pulled into our driveway I was getting out of the car and I just looked up for some reason (probably cause I'd been in the hospital for 7 days and wanted to see the sky), and when I did there was a male AND female cardinal sitting just above the car on a branch that hung over the driveway.  I just smiled and said "Well hello.  I'm fine."

When we moved to the country last year I was extremely sad because I would lose my cardinal.  But I see them ALL the time out here in the country!  Not everyday, but a lot.  Males and females.  They have become my strength.
