When all of you die let me know. I am wanting to see my family again.

My Dad was an aviation enthusiast as am I. He was also in the Air Force. When he passed away, the funeral was held at our little country church which is 30 miles from the nearest airport. Barksdale AFB sent an honor guard which traveled over two hours to get there. They were awesome.

Even more awesome, as my Dad's body was being carried from the church to the cemetery, a plane appeared overhead at low altitude. It traveled slowly and directly overhead and in the same direction as the procession, finally disappearing over the horizon.

The odds of even hearing a plane there are extremely slim, much less seeing one at low altitude or traveling in the direction you're walking. Even the funeral director remarked that is was an awesome "fly over". The timing was perfect.

I will always take that event as a message. I don't know what possessed that pilot to take the course he did that day. I just know something did...

To see the signs, you have to first be aware that they exist. I believe every life is important and counted by God, even a sparrow's life.

Geese Fly-Over at beginning of Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor Rally

I remember that moment and it was astonishing! GB had wanted a military fly-over but it was denied by the Park Service. Those geese were, in a way, even better!

When I first started reading your story of your dad and his miraculous fly-over, I immediately thought of the Beck thing before I arrived at your link. It was also truly miraculous.
