Today is the one year anniversary of my Father’s death. I spent quite a bit of time thinking about how I was going to honor this day. My father loved his vegetable garden. When I was younger he would get up around dawn and spend a few hours weeding his garden. There was never a weed in sight and he loved his garden.

When my dad came to live with me the first time I had a vegetable garden put in for him. The other day I noticed it was getting pretty over run with weeds. So, after some prayer and meditation I decided to honor the day of my dad’s passing by working in the garden.

I am always amazed at some of the events the universe has in store for me. I went to the garden and lovingly weeded the pepper patch and thought about my dad. I enjoyed staking the plants and putting compost around the roots. I decided I would mulch the patch so I went back to the house and got the box of used computer paper from under my desk.

The last piece of paper I pulled out of my recycle box was a picture of my dad smiling at me. It was from a post I wrote on his birthday. I cried at the unexpected sight of his smiling face and knew he was with me weeding his garden. I lovingly put his picture under one of the pepper plants. I couldn’t have done that intentionally in a million years.

Here is the picture. One thing I have found since I began working with angels, life is never dull and there are lots of wonderful surprises.

I miss you dad and am so glad you showed up to say hi today in the garden.

With love and aloha,
Susan
