When we drove here to the nursing home one week ago, a bald eagle landed in the tree just ahead of us. I was wondering about the symbolism of that, so I googled it:
“When an eagle appears, you are on notice to be courageous and stretch your limits. Do not accept the status quo, but rather reach higher and become more than you believe you are capable of. Look at things from a new, higher perspective. Be patient with the present; know that the future holds possibilities that you may not yet be able to see. You are about to take flight.”
Galen is about to take flight. All the signs of dying are there. Thankful to have family here with me. Precious time together,

I am so glad that you have family with you – to support & hug you, to relieve you when you need a break, to sit with Galen in companionship.
I wish I had something wise to say, something to speed Galen through the pain & struggle, something to ease what you’re going through.
I wish you peace.

We agree the eagle was probably very significant. We were very glad to get smiles from him yesterday. On eagle’s wings Galen …… Loving you, John @ Pat

I didn’t know that about the eagle, well I sort of did but not about the need to prepare to be strong. Rebecca, your strength and seemingly relaxed calm have always impressed me. I do believe in spirit animals and birds and that their presence in our lives can bring us great comfort. Also reassurance that our loved ones are always with us either physically or in spirit. May Galen soar like an eagle when his time comes and may you both be free of suffering. You are two amazing people!

Trying to process this I recalled from over thirty years ago an Elder, Joe Turner. Joe taught me about Eagles and other things and once when I must have asked too many questions about something I experienced he said, “Glen, why do you always have to explain everything. Just let these things become part of who you are.” So, Galen has taken wing. I can’t explain him or his passing, but he is part of who we are. Rebecca, you too are a wonderful mystery and part of who we are. You have our hearts and hands and can call on us any time. Looking forward to Thanksgiving.

Last night I rang the anvil for Galen. Without discussing it, Daryl Richardson was doing the same thing at the same time.
