RED-WINGED MESSENGERS
In Memory of Facunda and Modesto Borrero
New Port Richey, Florida
One beautiful morning in December of 2019, I awoke to the sound of a bird chirping and little taps on my window. I was going through some changes during this time and wondered if this was a sign. I lifted my blinds and observed a red cardinal flapping its wings and singing happily. At that moment I felt special connection with this fascinating creature.
The red cardinal began to visit often, bringing me joy and making each day better. The cardinal began to visit at least five times a day, every day. A female cardinal joined the male on my window every morning and they often sang together. This was strange yet fascinating because I felt inside my soul that the cardinals were my grandparents saying hello and visiting me. They passed when I was only 14 years old, which was difficult as I saw them often and was especially close to my grandmother.
My aunt helped me to construct a birdhouse and I also started to leave out birdseed on my window every day. Not long after, baby cardinals started to visit me as well. The window seemed to be their comfort zone. Each morning while singing near the window or on top of the bird house, the cardinals wait for me to pull the blinds up so they can see me. Occasionally I will knock on the window or whistle and instead of soaring away, they fly right to me.
I recorded several videos and captured countless photographs so that I can preserve each special moment with these beautiful little creatures. I just cannot believe they visit me every day. I named the red cardinal “Red” and the female cardinal “Brownie” and consider them to be my red-winged messengers from Heaven.
I recently did some research about cardinals online and discovered that we have a special connection. This is such an incredible experience, and I am so thankful for it. To this day I still think about my grandparents and believe they are watching over me. The cardinals still visit every day and I am incredibly grateful for the immense peace they bring to my life!
