The Easter Miracle

My dear friend, Jan, who is also my hair stylist, called me today with the story of her miracle for Easter. When I saw her last Thursday for a haircut, she told me they had just gotten the news that morning that her husband, Dan's grandmother had died. They were upset because Dan did not have time to have gone to see her before she passed on and he loved her so, and wanted to tell her goodbye. Jan expressed to me she wished Dan could receive some message from his grandmother so he would know she was ok and all was well. We had a long talk about this.

When Jan called me today she told me she had talked to his grandmother and said "grandma, take your wings and fly". She had repeated this several times on Thursday and Friday, and had expressed her wishes that the grandmother would find a way to contact Dan, to ease his loss and pain. She did this again on Saturday morning on her way to work. She then specifically said to grandma,"speak up to Dan and tell him it is ok, just get in his face if you have to."

Saturday evening after Dan got home from work, he told Jan an amazing thing had happened to him that morning.(he did not know that Jan had been asking/praying)
He said he had sat in his car in the parking lot when he got to work for awhile and had the window open, when a small house sparrow landed on his side rear view mirror, just inches from him. The little bird began to chirp very loudly! And continued to get louder and louder.
Dan said, "it was the neatest thing- and I am not lying- you have just got to believe me!" He thought to himself, "what is going on???" Even when he moved his hand to the window, the bird did not fly away.

As he told Jan this story Saturday evening, tears rolled down Jan's face, because she knew the little bird had flown to Dan (she had her wings at last), and Jan said "thank you, grandma". Dan then realized what had happened and he began crying too. He said, " I wanted to believe- and now I do."
Jan said it was their Easter miracle and she said she had been wearing the Unexpected Miracles bracelet I gave her on Thursday, and she wanted me to know that it was her first unexpected miracle since I gave her the bracelet.

Dan flew to where his grandmother's sevices will be this morning with a lighter heart. (and his clay in his suitcase! That's another story!)
Thanks Jan for this beautiful story!
