Where I live, there are eagles. They aren’t rare, but rare enough to see that spotting one is special.

The last time Dad was in the hospital, I looked out his window the morning he was set to be discharged. I spotted an eagle circling over the river, and he was able to get a glimpse of it too. It made him very happy.

Driving him home, we both saw three eagles circling in the sky at the same time. It was the most amazing sight.

Four eagles in one day.

We both took joy in that, and I like to remember it to remind myself that we can find joy even amidst adversity.
