Most of you know that I had lost my mother on Jan. 8th. I had to fly up to Ohio for the funeral. And I was staying at my sister's house.
I was wearing a charm that Charlene had given me to remember Melodie by.
I was talking to my sister as she was doing the dishes. And she commented on my charm. I was explaining the significance of it. And I was telling her about Melodie.
And I looked down and gasped...When my sister asked me what was wrong, I pointed at her window sill. Mary keeps a glass ladybug on the window sill...but crawling next to it was a real ladybug! Mary said that it wasn't unusual for her to get ladybugs in the house in the wintertime.
But the timing couldn't be better. I almost cried when I explained how Melodie loved ladybugs.
After I got home, I told the story to Charlene. She smiled and asked me if this happened on Sunday. I'm very sure now that it did.
Charlene smiled again, and told me that Sunday was Melodie's birthday.
