CLAUDE’S CHRISTMAS BLESSING
In Memory of Claude “Henry” Withers
Corydon, Indiana
My 90-year-old father, who had been healthy until April 2020 started declining with heart issues. He fought the good fight, trying to get well, having three heart surgeries over the next few months. He still had a bucket list which included another cruise on the Steamboat American Queen. He had come home from the hospital on the Steamboat Southland. Unfortunately, we lost him on December 9, 2020.
I have heard the story of cardinal visits as being the spirit of a loved one. There is a wooded area right outside my back door. Normally my back yard has birds of all sorts including cardinals. I have looked outside often over the past couple of weeks, hoping to see a red cardinal. Finally, this afternoon, a red cardinal flew into my backyard and landed in a bush right next to my back porch. Tomorrow is Christmas and it would have been my Dad's 91st birthday. This beautiful moment caused me to break down in tears. I am so grateful to have been blessed so close to my Christmas and my father’s birthday!
