When I was in the pool today, I noticed two hawks circling way out over the horizon through the trees.  Our pool is pretty much cut off from visibility ... it's totally surrounded on all four sides by trees, house, and deck.  So we only have a little patch of sky directly overhead and some far off views through the tree trunks and branches.  As I looked at these two hawks, I felt Bryan's presence with me and I asked him if he was really there to send the hawks my way.  Literally within seconds, one of the hawks appeared directly overhead.  As I watched him, he circled twice and was so close that I could see his head bent down looking at me!  After he circled twice, he lazily flew off in the other direction where I could no longer see him.  I felt so happy knowing Bryan was near.  When Mike came out a bit later, I related the story to him.  Just as I spoke, I looked up and there -- AGAIN! -- was the hawk but this time his mate was with him.  Mike and I both watched as they circled several times with their heads tilted downward watching us back.  After a few minutes, they flew off.  It never fails to amaze me when this happens.

Today as I was driving home from work, I was thinking about Bryan when all of a sudden a FOX ran across the road in front of my car!  I've lived here in Pennsylvania almost all my life and knew that there were foxes but I have never, ever seen one.  I immediately thought it was a sign from Bryan.  Just a few minutes later, I met Mike at a gas station so that we could both get gas with our discount gas card.  As we were pumping the gas, a hawk landed on the light standard in the parking lot right near us.  It watched us the entire time we were there and, as I pulled away from the station, he flew off at the exact same moment.  Again, I knew it was Bryan letting us know he was nearby.

Later this evening, Mike and I went to Home Depot to look at sliding glass doors for our gameroom that we are presently in the middle of remodeling.  We asked for assistance and the guy who came over to help us was named "Bryan" with a y (it was on his name tag) and while he was helping us, I noticed the Jenny song started playing (867-5309) which has major significance for us if you've read Bryan's earlier journal.  Particularly since TJ (the girl who has been connecting with Bryan a lot recently) has been getting messages from Bryan AND Jenny together recently.  So I felt this was a confirmation that he is still with Jenny in heaven and they are truly both helping TJ in her recovery.  There are more signs that occurred this month and some great ones from TJ and I'll be adding them as time allows so check back!

Ok ... as promised, here are some of the signs from TJ (edited for content):

"Hi Kat!   Bryan has been around a lot lately.  I have felt his presence every night this week.  Remember his light that I told you about?  If it's on when I walk under it, it turns off -- and vice versa.  Almost without fail. Tonight there was a lion (stuffed of course ) that I had noticed sitting on a bench outside at the hotel.  It was there when I made my first round, which was around 8:40 pm.  I didn't bother with it.  I thought someone who had left it may come back for it.   At 11pm the lion was still sitting there.  This time I picked it up - intending to bring it to the front desk.  As I was walking with it, I had started to wonder if it was another gift from Bryan. I asked him that if it was indeed for me then to show me a sign so that I would know.  This is how I know it was from him.....The route I take on my rounds are the shortest possible - so that I save time. This time in particular, I took a longer route. I wasn't expecting to deviate from my route at all. But twice before I did the same thing, for no (earthly) reason, and I found gifts from Bryan.  Both times.  Whenever I get the urge to "veer off course" I look for gifts from him because there is no reason for me to make my rounds longer.  Anyhow, I took the longer route tonight and came across a Marlboro cigarette butt.  On the level of the garage that no one is supposed to be on.  The second I saw it, I knew it was Bryan. That wasn't even the only sign.  I found another penny a few floors down.  Every single penny I've gotten from him was lying heads up on the ground.  I sang another song for him also - under his light.  It stayed on the entire time. Only the second that I started to walk away did it turn off.  And believe me, I have stood at this light trying to determine whether there was some time sequence or pattern.  There was none.
