#3 - One Special Owl

Thankful Challenge #3 - I am thankful for the owl that lives near my parent's house.  In years past we have heard him nearly every night throughout the summer and fall.  This year we only heard him once all summer...the night my dad died.  He serenaded the hearse as it drove away, carrying my dad in it.  We did not hear him again until this week.  Wednesday night as I was walking through my parents' garage, I saw the wheelchair ramp my dad used his last few months and thought, "I sure do miss Dad."  Right on cue, the owl hooted twice and then flew through the trees where I could see him.  I am grateful for little reminders of a special man who I miss like crazy!
