“Mom? You know how Grandma Jenny’s favorite bird was the cardinal, and now that she’s in heaven, whenever we see a cardinal we think of Grandma Jenny?”
“Yes…”
“Well, what do you think Scout’s favorite animal was?”
“LM, I think Scout loved birds as much as your Grandma Jenny did.”
“Mom? Do you think Scout had a favorite bird?”
“I think Scout’s only preference in birds was the bigger the better!”
“So if we see an ostrich on the balcony, we should take that as a sign of Scout?”
“LM, if we see an ostrich on the balcony, we should take that as a sign from God himself!!”

Ok so I’m not going to hope you see an ostrich … but I will hope you see a cardinal.I believe in signs, they give hope that there is a world beyond this one.:-)

“An Ostrich on the Balcony” – I can see this as a title to a great children’s book. Or a band. You never know.Sorry about Scout. I have two kitties and know what heartbreak that this has been for you guys.
