Do you believe in signs? I do, but hadn't experienced any in quite some time. The last significant sign I can remember (prior to the ones I'm about to share) was witnessing a halo around the sun last summer when out on the lake fishing in the TOY.
My husband and I had our first date night out this past Saturday since having Vinny. We went to dinner and then went and saw the movie "Gravity," in 3D nonetheless (this was a mistake but highly recommended!).
SPOILER ALERT!
In the movie, Sandra Bullock's character shares a story of how her 4 year old daughter died after a head trauma that occurred on the playground at recess. As the story continues, George Clooney's characters tells Sandra's character that the loss of her child is as bad as it gets and that she can survive the precarious situation she is in. In the end of the film, Sandra sends a prayer to God and George's character (an intercession if you will) and describes her daughter to him and asks that he give her a big hug. I was in tears at this point. Well, after the movie is over and the credits start rolling, guess what the director/producer's first name is?
Alfonso.
I think he was reminding me that he's always with me.
I also need to add my experience the following morning. We were sitting in church and I was staring at the diaper bag. The front of it is designed to look like a schedule of a band's touring schedule in the 1970's. There is a list of dates on the front. I've stared at the bag many times now. However, when looking at it on Sunday, I realized the dates were listed as DD/MM/YEAR (I know this because one of the dates listed was 22/4), not MM/DD/YEAR as I had assumed. Guess what date was on that list.
April 6, Alfy's birthday.
I love it when my son pops up in the most unexpected ways.
