Presents From Beyond

Ya like that wordplay, don’t ya?

Alright, so my mom’s mother (my born grandmother) died more than a year ago. I was extremely close to her, as was my mother, OBVIOUSLY, but let me just state something. When you die, you are buried in a coffin, AND EATEN BY WORMS. Nothing else happens. The mystery of life now having been cleared up, my mother actually believes something INSANE. A few weeks ago, this humming bird nest showed up at her ranch where she keeps her horses, and there were two babies, and a mother. She had her friend photograph them and she watched them every time she went up there. Eventually, they left, and she was sad, but she considered it a gift from her mother because her mother loved humming birds, she considered it a personal gift. This morning, I saw a humming bird buzzing about outside my window, and yeah, it was pretty cool and I watched it for a few moments, but after that I got bored and continued watching TV. Suddenly, I saw it come back and it was looking at, what I assumed at the time because of the distance and color, was a leaf. I called my mom in, just because she likes humming birds. She realized that what I thought was a leaf, turned out to be a nest with two humming birds in it, babies, and the one buzzing around, the mother. She freaked out and assumed it was some great gift from beyond, and got a video camera and got my dad to take more pictures, and was thanking her mother, saying it was some special thing.

Now, let me just make one thing clear. IF….okay….IF there is an afterlife, I’m pretty sure the people who die are far too busy resting and visiting different dimensions and sh*t like that, ya know, finding out the secrets of the universe, instead of sending us gifts! Dead people cannot send you gifts, but my mother actually believes this stuff! Yeah, the birds are cool, and even I’ll admit it’s a damn spooky coincidence, but there is no way in HELL….er…heaven for that matter, that dead people are able to send us stuff! Okay? So stop believing it, I know it may make you feel better, and if you believe it to make you feel closer to your lost ones, THAT’S fine, but don’t TRULY believe it because it sounds “logical” and “possible”. That’s just f*ckin’ stupid.
