I am coming up on the 5th anniversary of my dad's passing away, and every year around this time, we take my nephews out fishing in "Grandpa Ted's boat". We scattered my dad's ashes into the water at the end of the jetty where we used to fish together several years ago and as we were scattering them at sunset, a flight of pelicans came by and I swear one of them peeled off leaving the rest flying the missing man formation.

His dream for retirement was to buy a sailboat and live on the water...so a pelican is a perfect symbol for him. Ever since that day, when we go out fishing in his old boat (especially when the nephews are with us) there always seem to be pelicans flying around us and fishing nearby. I am confident that our loved ones keep an eye on us even after they pass and I am confident that your husband is watching and is proud of you kelly.
