When I was in college, I babysat for a family that quickly became my own as I was away at school. The children are, of course, almost grown now, but I look back on those mornings with my boys with such fondness. Even then, I so desperately wanted to meet the "man of my dreams," and the mother would often tell me about her belief in signs. For her, it was rainbows. She had tremendous difficulty getting pregnant with her second son, and on the way back from a doctor, she saw a rainbow. At that moment, she knew that everything was going to be ok, and sure enough, she soon became pregnant.
A former employee of mine lost a very dear friend in a horrific shooting. This friend had a love for butterflies, and at her funeral, a flurry of butterflies miraculously appeared. My employee felt it was a sign that her friend was still with her, despite her body no longer being on this earth.
What's your sign? Your indication that everything is going to be alright, better than alright. I can't help but want deep down in my soul for that rainbow I saw on my Caribbean island to be more than just a rainbow. But as my mom says, "We never know what tomorrow brings for we weren't made to know the future." So, I suppose I will just have to wait and see...
