Do you believe that each and everyday we are given a multitude of symbols and signs to guide us to do the right thing? I believe many of these signs go unnoticed or they're simply passed off as coincidence. I've chosen to believe they're our guide and I try to be as aware as I can. It's definitely hard to do in our busy lives, but I try as best as I can.
Two days ago I took my children and my niece to a farm. There were five tiny kittens running around newly born (maybe 6-7 weeks old) and in need of a permanent home - all rambunctious with the exception of one of them. Have you ever seen a kitten calmly walk to a total stranger, then sit calmly for hours upon hours in her arms without scratching, biting or squirming? I have this once. This tiny kitten was so calm and walked straight over to my niece and stayed with her. Something was magical about this little kitten. Most kittens are hyper and squirmy, but not this sweet, gentle and calm kitty! Later that day, I found out that it was exactly one year since the passing of my niece's cat. Their family so loved this cat - he was a soft, gentle and calm soul. Perhaps it was his spirit within that kitten that led him to my niece. We ended up bringing this kitten home with us to deliver to a good friend. It was our sign that we were not to leave this kitten. Coincidence that this all occurred on the deceased cat's anniversary of passing? Maybe, but I choose to see it as a sign.
Today is July 26, 2014. Today I got an email about a family I don't know personally who is traveling to Sick Kids Hospital with their triplets - all of whom are in need of chemotherapy treatment for a rare type of cancer. This family is in need of help for a place to stay and money to be raised so they can stay downtown Toronto during their boys' treatments. July 26, 2010 - today is exactly four years to the day since I found the lump under my daughter's arm. Coincidence? Maybe, but I choose it as a sign to do what I could to lend a hand.
I do believe.
My daughter is doing well - 4 years later.
