One day, my son called to tell me, “Dad just visited me.”

“What are you talking about?” I asked. My husband had passed a month earlier.

My son then told me that the night before, exhaustion claimed him in his recliner in the living room. The next morning, he was awakened by a bird flying around him and landing on his leg.

His doggie door has been wide open to the outside for years, as the flap disappeared long ago. Because of that, the occasional bird will fly in for a visit.

Startled, he began getting up to open both the doors and the kitchen windows. This is his normal routine to allow the birds to fly out, hopefully, without stressing them too much.
