Signs… they are everywhere if you know what to look for. I guess? I’m not one to see signs or hidden meanings in my surrounding but occasionally I’ll see something that makes me think, hmmm. I like to call these God winks. I did not make up this term, I believe I heard it on the Sirius radio's Catholic channel. It is something too coincidental to be pure accident.
I don’t remember if it was when Madison was in middle school or high school when I found out about Pi Day. She loved to eat pie and when she found out that there was a Pi Day she was excited. She knew it represented the number 3.14 but she loved the silliness of it. Her friends even gave her a t-shirt with the picture of a pie on it and in the pie is baked the symbol for pi. She loved that shirt.
So today I went for my usual morning walk in the neighborhood and as looked down I saw the pi symbol on the sidewalk. It looked as though someone purposely put it there because it was too perfect. At first it looked like it was made of the wrapper from around a straw. But a close up of the photo shows that someone tore up paper that has writing on it to make this symbol. Now I’m sure whoever did this did not do it with me in mind. However I found it and it made me think of Madison and that made me smile. This pi symbol may not have been intended for me by the person who left it on the sidewalk where I like to walk, but I thank you for my God wink.
I couldn't find a photo of Madison wearing the t-shirt so I just took one of the shirt. I still have all of her favorite t-shirts and plan to make a quilt out of them one day for myself. I wish she were still hear to wear them. Though I'm sure by now there would have been newer cooler t's and clothes to wear.
And by the way she liked this song too!
