Honor thy (grand)mother..

Do you believe in signs from Heaven? I do. A little while ago I ran a 5k for brain disorders in PCB and there was a sign but this hasn't been the first time ...

My mom and second mom MR decided to go for a little jog on a beautiful weekend..

#runningforruth

AND WE ALL PLACED IN OUR AGE GROUPS!!!!!

AND I BEAT MY PERSONAL BEST RECORD!!!

but the best part was that we all had a message from Ruth..

My personal message from Ruth was at the very beginning of the race. Sometimes when I'm having a rough day a bird will fly past the window that I'm looking out of and then I know.. Ruth is with me..

When the 5k first started we got to run down past this lake and as we were running and I was thinking "there is no way I am going to be able to do this thing.." this BEAUTIFUL bird took off right in front of me. It was as if Ruth was saying "you got this! I'm here cheering you on!" 

Then about half way through the run MR noticed that the sun came out and was shinning on us (the sun has always been her sign) and she even told me that during that moment she was like "alright, I see you Ruth!" 

And at the end my Mom had her music on shuffle.. She was on the last little part of the 5k and How Great Thou Art came on (which is what we played at Ruth's funeral) so naturally my mom was crying at the end. 

What an AMAZING journey! We all had our own little message from heaven and it was eye opening. 

I love when that happens.

What about you? Do you have a message that let's you know a loved one or even the big man himself is with you in that moment?? 

I want to hear about it!! 

peace & love
