At one point I was sitting on a hill in the park near my house, crying (might as well be honest), and I noticed a hummingbird a few feet away from me. As soon as I saw it, it launched itself into the air and started doing loops - it would fly up about 20 ft. in the air, dive downwards, and do these giant loops over and over again. It was such a rediculous sight that eventually I started laughing and even cheered up a little bit.
Again, I'm sure it's nothing but a coincidence, but it is interesting how people experience similiar things under these circumstances...
Ya, strange. Actually, I mentioned about the hummingbirds because I wanted to know if anyone else had the same kind of experience. I wasn't expecting that it would be you coz that would've been too much of a coincidence, but strange things do happen, I guess. I've heard about moths or butterflies being messengers for dead people but I've never heard about hummingbirds being one too so I just wanted to confirm it. All I can say now is that if we can find just one more person who has that kind of experience with hummingbirds, maybe there are ghosts afterall. I forgot to mention but what's more strange about these hummingbirds is that they came again on about two more ocassions - both on death anniversaries of my dad! That's why I wanted to share this story - I wanted to know if anyone else had that sort of experience, just to confirm. Now I'm much more convinced.
