The White Doves, February 17, 2005 written by my aunt, Penny The day after my father died on July 7th, 1992, my mother noticed a white dove sitting on the telepone line outside of the kitchen window where she did dishes everymorning. It had never been there before, nor had she ever seen a white dove in the area. Every morning, while doing dishes for several years thereafter, she noticed a white dove on the telephone line. All of us believe that it was the spirit of my father watching over her eac morning until he was sure she was okay. Last thursday, while Mom was in a coma and mearing death, three of her four children (Suzie stayed with Mom) and her two eldest grandchildren went outside on the back porch for a breath of fresh air. Penny noticed two birds on the telephone line - in the exact place where Mom had show her that the white dove had been nearly 13 years ago. She asked: "Are those white doves?", pointing to the two birds who were lookg in our direction. As everyone watched, one of the white doves took flight and the other one followed right behind. It was 12:30 p.m. Although Mom's physical presence lingered for almost four more hours, we believe that Mom's spirit left this world at that time, following my father as they soared upward in the blue sky to begin a new and glorious adventure. that was my grandma. yes i believe it, actually, i beleive alot of different things... but... that's not my point. well... i guess it was just kinda nice to remeber something. I got this with a christmas letter from my aunt Penny and Mary. Merry christmas every one!!! hope u have a wonderful 2006!!!
