Fireflies

I'm extremely grateful to all who have called, emailed and given hugs while we struggle with Shiloh's disease.  Dog people are just the BEST!
As with Sunny, my childhood dog who is featured in the book "Tails From Beyond", I am blessed with support from the Other Side:
During the worst of it when I was up practically all night with my very sick dog, at one point I looked out the window into the night.  There was a blinking light, so very pretty, in an unusual spot.  It wasn't the airport, it was in a different direction.  While I was trying to figure out perhaps if it was a plane, the firefly took flight.  It was sitting on the screen.  So beautiful.  But I am a doubter of Signs sometimes, and I said to myself Self, I would like something more significant if this really is a Sign.  Went downstairs to turn on the radio and lo and behold, Paul Simon's song "Father and Daughter" comes on the radio - just the final chorus:
I'm gonna watch you shine
I'm gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
That one and one is two.....
And there'll never be another father
Who loves his daughter
The way that I love you.
Even from Heaven, Dad lends his comfort.  I am so moved by this act of love.
Next day the drug arrives.  Shiloh is showing signs of improvement.  We are not out of the woods yet, but we are making our way.
Thanks, Dad.  I love you too.
