A visit from my Dziadzia
Wednesday, July 23, 2008 
Ten minutes ago.
This February I lost my Dziadzia and I couldn't attend the funeral as the birth of my second child Amy was imminent. It tore me up, but I know I did the right thing in staying home. During the funeral, I took a walk near Callahan State Park to feel closer to him since I couldn't be there.
We always took walks in the woods together when I was growing up. That day there was a huge collection of crows (a murder of crows) at the top of a hill - which was unique. I felt like he was there in some way.
Today driving home from work, something pulled me off the road, and caused me to take to the same path in the woods - up to the same spot. I don't know why, but I just did it. I had my HD camcorder with me at the same time.
When I arrived at the same spot, I turned to my left and about five feet from my head was an enormous owl... probably two-feet tall. It didn't move, it just watched me and even moved a little closer as I stood there admiring it. I took some photographs and some HD (1080) video.
It could be some crazy coincidence but I don't think so. I believe that my Dziadzia decided to visit me today and for that I am ultimately thankful. I miss you Dziadzia, but it was wonderful to feel just a little bit closer.
