The Songbird Of Coincidence?


Today we went to a candlelight service at Demelza House - the children's hospice where Connor used to have so much fun when he was around.

Although not the first time that we had been back, it was the first time that we went back into the main living/kitchen area.

It brought back so many memories that it was a moving experience just walking through the doors.

What with the candlelight service...well, you could say that it was an emotional and thought-provoking day.

Especially as we were wandering through the peaceful 'rememberance' garden where Connor's ashes were scattered.

Just as Lesley and Katie went to sit in the pergola...they screamed and jumped up!

There was a little bird flying under the roof of the pergola...which seemed very unusual - especially considering that...at 5.pm. on a near-freezing countryside afternoon - it was dark.

Of course...our parents didn't give it a second thought...but, I bet that you know, that I KNOW different.

Not only that...one of the verses chosen by the head of care at Demelza House was a few lines from a song by Eva Cassidy...who (coincidentally?) was the singer of the song we played at Connor's service earleier in the year...the one which I mentioned was in the movie - "Love Actually" - that I wrote about on 21st November.

The title of that song?

"Songbird"

Makes you think, doesn't it?
