The Rainbow

Monday morning after I had gotten ready to attend my Father's Funeral Service. I turned on my computer to check email before Mark and I left for L'Anse. Mark's uncle, Jim Irwin, had sent us an email sending his condolences for my Dad. In his email Uncle Jim quoted a Native American proverb, ...."The soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears." .
Mark and I left and as we were began to drive around the Head of the Bay I thought I saw a slight faint piece of a rainbow... just a small line in the sky. I asked Mark if he saw that... and asked him "Is that a rainbow?" He said he didn't think so ... as we drove a few more seconds... I looked up and right over the Red Rocks... was the most beautiful perfect full Rainbow... so Brilliant in Color... It was simply amazing!!! I said to Mark..."OH MY GOD! Uncle Jim's email said something about the soul... and a rainbow.. " though I couldn't remember the exact words... it still brought a sense of peace to me. And I smiled, telling my loving husband... this is a sign from Dad... he's at peace!

My Uncle Leslie (Dad's baby brother) also stated that he felt so sad when he was driving to the funeral that morning... and as he was coming around the Head of the Bay... he too saw the Rainbow over the Red Rocks... and he said he felt a comfort... and a peace that he just couldn't explain! It was totally amazing!

I still see this rainbow when I close my eyes... and it makes me happy in such a sad situation and I can smile through my tears!
