Feathers in the wind. This is my true story. My mom passed away over 2 1/2 years ago. I was looking through some old photos and especially missing her today. Then I decided to take my dogs for a walk, even though it is REALLY windy here in Reno today. We walked for 45 minutes and as we headed up the mountainside to my yard I thought, "I wish I could find a feather."

My mom loved finding feathers on her jaunts. I no sooner had that thought; instantly I looked down and there were TWO feathers joined together. I don't believe in coincidences. Those feathers appeared the moment I thought about finding one, and they didn't blow away in this wind. I have never seen or found feathers that were joined together. My mom sent me Mother/Child feathers from Heaven!
