A strange thing happens quite frequently in my life. My mother equates it to the law of attraction. It happens when we talk about my grandparents. My maternal grandparents are both dead. And this past Friday was their wedding anniversary.
Whenever we talk about my grandparents, whether it's me brinigng it up or my aunt or my mom discussing it the song Stardust comes on the radio. It was my grandparents song.
It's happened a few times to my mother and Aung, and it happened twice to me. First it happened a few years ago when my mother received her doctorate. We were eating at an Italian Restaurant and my aunt said she said to my mom that she wished their parents were there to see this. A few moments later that song came on the radio.
Yesterday coming back from church with my mother we were listening to XM and we were talking about the same topic. This time we were discussing the passing of my mother-in-law. My mother noted that it was also my Grandparent's birthday. The very next song on the radio was Stardust.
I told my aunt about it yesterday and she said it also happened recently to her. She said it is the subtle way that the dead communicate with us.
Either that, or it is one hell of a coincidence.
Thank you Tom this is just wonderful. I've lost both my parents and inlaws and have often wished I could communicate with them... I guesss I can.

It is not unusual to see bald eagles in my area, but I had driven the same drive for 5 years and had only seen them once or twice a season.
I started noticing they would appear while I was driving, when I would think about my parents. I grieved deeply for them, and I started thinking that they were placing the eagles in my path to soothe me, give me courage and strength to get me through whatever I was going through.
I gained enough strength to leave a painful relationship a little over a year ago. But by moving, I was now 18 miles further from my work.
I can honestly say I see at least one bald eagle on my drive to/from work probably about 95% of the time, if not more. About 9 months ago, they started appearing by flying over, or landing in front, or taking flight from sitting on a pole right in front of my car. One day I saw 11!
My heart takes flight with them and I am uplifted in the love my parents are showing me.
