So here I am sitting at my computer after a somewhat harrowing day and a half with my kids.  They are both grounded so the only noise is from my typing and iTunes.  For some reason, I look at the floor to my right… and I see a black bobby-pin.

This is weird for a few reasons….

  1. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t there yesterday.
  2. I have always had short hair and have never bought any bobby-pins.
  3. My Grandma used these exact kind of pins in her hair everyday when she was alive.
  4. I have a picture of my Grandma on the shelf just above the spot where I found the pin.

So… I think Grandma is trying to send me a message.  She was a woman of infinite patience and love and is probably looking down at me and my kids and just trying to tell me to ‘breathe’.  I know what she would say if she were here…  ‘God will see me through it.’

I really miss her on days like this.  I love you Grandma.  Hope you and Grandpa are dancing through the halls of heaven.
