6.At the cemetary...

Have you ever heard of "pennies from heaven"? This is another version of that story.

My other half had lost an uncle many years ago. Being very close to the uncle, going to the cemetary was one way of being as close to him as possible. Shortly after moving back to California, we made an impromptu visit to his uncle's grave site. A few minutes of silence had passed when a deer had appeared across the cemetary. It just stood there without moving. After a short while, it took off into the hills. My other half turned to me and said that he had been asking his uncle to give him a sign that he knew that we were there. Hence, the deer. I thought nothing of it. Everyone knows that there are tons of fresh flowers left at grave sites every day, and that deer come down to eat the flowers. Every time we had visited his uncle, we saw a deer. The only odd thing about it was that cars would pass the deer, but it wouldn't run off. Every time I had been barely close to a deer, it ran off. This one never did. I still didn't think anything of it other than a coincidence. That was until his uncle convinced me.

Late in the afternoon we made a stop at the cemetary. We spent a few minutes at the grave site, then jumped in the car. On the way out of the cemetary, which was quite a drive around the entire cemetary, I became a believer. On both sides of the road there were deer. Not just one, I stopped counting at twenty-three. None of them moved. All the deer that were on the sides of the road just stood there and watched us drive by. I had an overwhelming feeling of being watched. Not because of the deer.
I knew that his uncle was with us.

What do you think? Let me know.

...if you could just open up your mind...
