Miracle Stories
it was october 11th, 2009. I remember it clearer than anything. My family had and still is going through a hard time, my great-grandma and my grandpa(my great-grandmas son) had just died within a span of 4 monthes of each other. my mother had not seen her real dad since the second grade and had lost all contact with him, my grandpa, the one who had passed was the only true defintion she knew of a father. he died on July 2nd, 2009. He was servely over-weight and died from kidney failure. It was the first big death to hit our family. Three monthes later my mom got a friend request from someone on facebook with a personal message saying "i'm carol, you are my long lost neice." they started talking, this woman was my mothers biological fathers sister. My mom was inches away from meeting her real father, her having so much to say to him. 2 or 3 days later, her biological father had died from an unexpected heart-attack,
the same day, my great-grandmother whom lived with us passed too. it was too much for her to take, she was deeply depressed. About two days after the two of them died, she was sitting on my great-grandmas old porch, three swans, one a bit bigger than the other(a male), a female swan and another male swan, came up to the side, squwaking, my mom ran inside, got bread, and went out to feed them, I was nervous for swans are mean and could easily bite her. but no, they came right up to her, and ate the bread out of her hands. we have a pond in our back yard, and the went back to it and swam around for a while.
My mom returned to her spot on the porch not taking her gaze away from the swans. that whole night she was thinking about what she would say at my great-grandmothers funeral. she stayed up all night. The next day at the funeral this is what she said: "yesterday, three swans came up to my back porch, one bigger than the other, it was a male, a female, and another male, i felt no nervousness as i went out to feed them, which was weird because I have always been scared of birds. As I went back inside and stared out at the swans I realized something, the biggest male swan, had been richard(my grandpa, her step-dad), the female had been gram, and the other male, her husband. Gram, god, richard, and fred(grams husband) gave me a sign, the sign? that they we're all in heaven together, they're happy, and everything, and everyone will be okay"
I had been doubting god for a while, because on my dads side i have an atheiest uncle, and with all the deaths I couldn't believe in god. I prayed the night before the swans came for a sign, that he did exsist, and he answered. I know go to church every sunday and wendesday and youth on sunday nights. The three swans stayed for a week, and left. They have not come back yet, and no one knows why there were swans at our pond because swans have never been spotted in our neighborhood before.
