49 Birds Overhead at Memorial

In what many are calling a sign from above, a flock of 49 birds flew over an Orlando memorial dedicated to the 49 victims who lost their lives Sunday in the massacre at the gay nightclub Pulse.

 

Only sobs could be heard in the pauses between readings of the 49 victims’ names during a candlelight vigil at the Dr. Philips Performing Arts Center Monday, the unnamed woman who snapped the photo told CNN.

 

She was there mourning the loss of a loved one when she noticed birds soaring above and decided to take a photo.

  

The photographer, who wished to remain anonymous to keep the focus on the victims, said she was unaware of the number of birds up overhead when she took the picture.

That is so amazing and I believe that all of those people who died sent a message to us of peace,love,freedom and forgiveness.

In that same vein, did anyone hear about the 15,000 bees that swarmed after his death at Muhammad Ali's "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" mural?

 

“About 15,000, maybe a little more,” beekeeper Kevin McKinney told WLKY. “It was a very big swarm.”  McKinney added that the “irony is not lost on me at all.”

Strive for respect instead of attention. It lasts longer.
