A sign

My writing on this blog has significantly decreased. I was not even sure I remembered how to log in! I wanted to share, however, a sign that I got yesterday. I just know it was meant for me from Beckett.

While the kids were running around with their shirts off/swim suits on outside, I decided to pick up the rake and work on clearing out my flower beds. There is about a 4 inch thick layer of leaves covering Beck's garden and the one right next too it. I cleaned out the one opposite of Beck's first. Nothing too exciting starting yet, little buds of green. Then I moved onto Beckett's garden. With the very first sweep of the rake I uncovered the garden stone the my aunt, uncle and their kids had made for us. It is a beautiful tile piece with an angel with blue wings made of glass tile and it is inscribed with his name and a little saying. That thing was gleaming in the sun!! The blue was sparkling. It certainly did not look like it was sitting under four inches of gross leaves for an entire winter and needed to be cleaned. That was the 1st sign. But the second swipe of the rake revealed the 2nd sign. There was a small flox right next to the stone that was brilliantly green and looked like I just planted it. None of the other flox that are in that garden or any of my other gardens comes close to looking like the one next to his stone. The others are dry and no where near looking alive and well at this point. I truly believe it was a sign for me...in his special garden! Not to mention later in the nigh,t I went to a 31 party, and I opened the magazine to look at the products and there on the page was a personalized bag with the name Beckett. Nice coincidence!!

I remember those days, which seem so long ago, when I would stare out the window looking, waiting, hoping for a sign from him that he was okay. Yesterday, I felt like when I was least expecting it...he gave it too me. I think he wanted to wait for a sneak attack so I would know it was not something I dreamt up but something that was real. He lives on and is well. What a swell to my heart!
