Cardinals were my mother's favorite bird. She said that at her mother's funeral, she saw a cardinal perched in a tree during the entire service, and it calmed her. After my mother died, I also saw a cardinal at the grave side service, and it also stayed perched through the service. Later that day, at my Aunt & Uncle's home, we noticed a pair of cardinals building a nest beneath their kitchen window, and they nested there, raising their hatchlings every year until my Aunt had to move to a nursing home.
To this day, I look for cardinals, and when ever I see one, I get goosebumps.
