Now, it wasn’t major, but instead felt like a little spider dropped then went away or even a raindrop plopped on me. On Wednesday, while getting a massage, not once but twice I felt something touch me. So, I welcome him because I like to believe it’s Dad saying, “hello.” However, I will say that I’ve become more keen to the Cardinal lately as one randomly shows up near me, near my brother, and near Mom. But I do not like birds and if you need confirmation of that, my mother will be happy to express my dislike for them. She even got us gifts with birds in snow globes the whole 9 yards. But furthermore, you should absolutely believe it because I do not even like birds. So why the hummingbird and where the hell did this little bird come into my life?įirst, believe me when I tell you this story because I cannot make this up. Instead because each time I think of it and start remembering it all, I cry.īut both the words and hummingbird go back to that night they are truly a symbol of joy. Honestly? Not even because I don’t want to. To this day, I’ve never shared the story with a soul. On this night, my entire life and world changed from one single (and fairly short) conversation with my dad. It was summer, and I was at home visiting Minnesota shortly before Ryan and I got married. I keep thinking that “I should be over it by now,” but am constantly reminded that grief does not work that way.Īnyways, “I am enough” comes from a single night when I was 25. It is no secret that I’ve had an incredibly tough time dealing with and accepting my dad’s passing. But every inch of ink on me has special meaning these new ones are no different.Ī massive symbol of love, “I am enough” and the hummingbird both bring me to the present moment born out of things from my past. It’s funny how I never thought I’d be getting one tattoo, much less several. I’m in Sedona for the 5th time enjoying all the small things, including this minimal hummingbird tattoo.Īnd to accompany the words is the small size hummingbird, with minimal lines. Note: In case you’re interested, prior to writing this, I reflected on a decade HERE. It’s been exactly one week now since this has been on repeat in my mind, “What does the hummingbird meaning symbol stand for?”
