And I was like,

oh, somebody's birthday.

Like, what did I miss?

What's today?

And she's like, it's the 23rd.

And I was like, come on, like, there's no way.

And so it felt like in a way that this had been building up to say, pay attention, like something's coming.

And that was the moment that things really tipped over.

And I started realizing, okay, start paying attention to what's going on and how this is working.

Yeah, I think, you know, there's so many different ways that spirit shows up for all of us.

So for some of my other family members who have passed, they show up as birds or there's different signs that they've kind of come through.

And I hear that from so many other people.

There you go.

It happens everywhere.

And so it's something that, you know, even if we're meaning making and trying to make sense of what has happened with this relationship, for me, it's a way to continue the relationship.

It's I call it my new calling card.

I used to call my dad at least every week.

to check in and have this conversation with him and now it feels like sometimes it's his way to be like you haven't called me in a bit or hey how's it going or just a little nod of the head and so it also is a way for to guide me around in the world and to get to try different things and to see what our relationship would look like after he's passed so it's a really big component of not

saying that just because someone's died, it's over and done.

And they're gone.
