Mary Emma McCraw

 

On March 22, 2008, a little red bird flew to my side during the darkest moment of my life – I had just received the news that my sister Mary had lost her life. I was standing outside in the breezeway of my home, lost in grief when a beautiful red cardinal landed on the shrub in front of me. He took my breath away; he was such a vibrant sight. For a moment, my pain disappeared. The very next day I flew to Texas to prepare for my beautiful sister’s wake. As I was driving down the main road to the funeral home I couldn't believe what was flying right next to me. Not one, but two beautiful red cardinals, racing me to the home. The little red bird was just the beginning to the many signs and synchronicities that showed me that there is more after this life and there is more all around us.

RED BIRD FLIES- Story Behind the song 

YouTube Song

"When cardinals appear, angels are near".  This saying weighed heavy on my heart last summer.  Literally everywhere I went cardinals were around.  I was riding the 4 wheeler with my two boys and the song just came to me.  My angels were with me too..  1st Verse is about our dear friend Stacie Campbell.  2nd verse is about our sweet little cousin Isley Thibodeaux who was killed by a drunk driver after the Carrie Underwood concert.  3rd Verse- about my Dad.  4th verse- Jillian Johnson and Mayci Breaux...the beautiful young women who were killed during the Grand Theater shootings.  This song is deep but I hope it will bring comfort to those who have lost loved ones.  Thanks Uncle Rex Berard for the picture.

Mary visits

Fun feather in my path early this morning..   I hadn't had one in a while.  I was thinking this earlier this week and then this happens. 

Then I run into a train friend I hadn't seen in a long time, she took the subway with me and even paid my fare so I didn't have to wait in line.  Then, I ran into her Again at the end of the day and rode the LIRR with her.  Such good company. Made for a nice way to end my day.  She has to order dinner for her family so I sat and listened as she called her restaurant of choice... "Mary's"!   Lol yes, Mary's in Farmingdale, NY.  Most of the times I wouldn't think much if it, but for me, it was another sign from my Mary.  She's all around me and loving that I'm catching her signs. I know she is.

Well, one more .... I get home and found this special gift in the mail box.   A Luca and Dani cardinal bracelet from my friends in Florida!!!!
