I had recently lost my grandpa who loved and studied nature all his life and would take me and my sisters on nature trails since we were kids. Two days before he died, I gave him an origami eagle - his favorite bird. The day after he died, I saw an eagle flying. I wrote a message about him that I posted on my social media that included a prayer asking that God would send us an eagle now and then to let us know grandpa's doing alright.
Last night, I dreamt I was at their house. Grandma and the whole family was there standing around and quietly talking. I looked up the spiral staircase to the second floor where I suddenly saw an eagle perched on the top railing.
"Grandpa?" was my immediate, albeit whispered response. All eyes turned to the majestic bird as it watched over us. Then I woke up.
