Does life send us signs? Of change, portents, or clues indicating the choice is the right one...that gut feeling. What are your thoughts and takes?
Personally this week has been a weird one for me. It has been little things, just glimpses out a window. Saturday evening I looked out and the skies of my neighborhood were full of motion.

We left for the vet not long after...and when I got home, as soon as the car door opened, I heard him again. Oddly, it seemed like she was safely across and in a better place.
