Thanks for bringing up this topic spaceghost - so interesting. They say the "signposts" are always there for us - we just have to recognise them.
I'd just like to add my story in relation to birds - are they messengers ? They say that birds are the closest things to angels that we have, and with "angel" meaning messenger, who knows ? (sorry if this sounds a bit too metaphysical - I try not to be ...lol)
Anyway - here is one of my stories ....
My father passed away suddenly at the age of 41. A valve burst to his heart - instant death. He had been to the doctor 1/2 an hour before his death.
A week before he passed, he was looking out of the back door, and two doves were flying ... straight for the door which he was standing behind !!! One dove flew staright into the door and fell down dead - the other flew off.
My mother went on to remarry, and after about the same time as she had been married to my father, this man slipped into unconciousness and passed from a brain haemorrhage. Just before he died, there was a small bird hanging around on the ground near the cars in our drive. He seemed to be dwelling on the ground, but would scamper off into the bushes if anyone got near. One day, my step-father was able to get near him to pick him up, and took him into the backyard out of harms way. He gave it some shelter and water and something he thought it might eat, but the bird only survived for a day or so.
My stepfather had been hospitalised two weeks before he passed and had every test imaginable, after suffering severe headaches. He was released with a supposed clean bill of health. After slipping into unconciousness, he officially passed 15 hours later.
Our best friend Sam - our Jack Russell terrier who had been with our family for 14 1/2 years, had to be euthanised in July of this year. (Basically, there was little that could be done - his heart was failing and it was only a matter of weeks or days) He suddenly became very ill, although he had probably had this condition for a few years, and with his arthritis and his vision beginning to fail, we thought this was the kindest thing we could do for him. Just before this, my Mum noticed a little bird which had hopped onto a front verandah, and was causing a lot of racket with his chirps. We all watched through the screen door (including Sam), and then he hopped away into some bushes to the side of the house. We didn't think much of it, but the next morning as I walked to my car in the drive to go to work, the same litttle bird lie dead next to my car.
I'd like to point out though, that we have found other dead birds on our property, and nothing has happened.
It seems that when the birds have drawn our attention before they pass, is when their is a "sign". Coincidence - I don't know ?
(My Auntie did tell me recently though, that after this happened to my father (he passed in 1977 when I was 10) he had told her the story and asked her "What do you think it means ?")
