sometimes there are moments in life that are simply magical
my daughter & her fiance were sitting outside their apartment enjoying the sun
they began talking about the type of yard they would like to have one day
one thing lead to another & my daughter began talking about how she had never seen a hummingbird in nature and it used to be her favorite creature when she was a child.
she said it would be magical if she ever saw one.
a couple minutes later her fiance tells her to "look" and she turns and looks up at the small tree she was sitting near/beneath
and there it was--a hummingbird!
she was so delighted she began to cry.
they watched it for a minute or so before it flew off.
she was so awed by the experience she had to call & tell me.
one of the nicknames my mom had for my daughter was Flit--named for the hummingbird in the Pocahontas movie.
i told her i thought it was a "sign" but we both think it is more a sign from the universe rather than a sign from my mother who passed nearly five years ago. (although i could be wrong)
or maybe it was just one of those wonderful, serendipitous experiences.
at any rate--it was pretty awesome.
and so--in honor of my daughter's magical moment.....
