I went to the cemetery tonight just at dusk, to sing a "Happy Birthday in my heart" song to one of my sons. They have been there since 1995, after they drowned up in Idaho while visiting their mom. It was almost dark by the time I was able to get to the cemetery. There were three deer nibbling on the grass. One little buck, still holding onto his little two point rack, and a doe, were about 15 yards from my truck window. They were straight in line to my kid's graves, which was about another 15 yards out. Another doe was on the other side of the graves,about 10 yards further out. As I stopped, the closest ones walked over the my kid's headstones. The other doe walked up to them and stood on my youngest daughter's grave site. She passed away in 2005, from a brain aneurysm. They just clustered together there, right on top of the graves and looked at me. They were the only deer in the cemetery. I didn't even try to get out of my truck. I didn't want to scare them off. My kids had beautiful company and were being well watched over. I just sang my "Happy Birthday in my heart" song, and drove away. The deer just stayed right there as I drove off. Maybe it was just a coincidence, but it warmed my heart. It was such a special moment and I wanted to share it.
