I saw a white feather

I was driving to my school. The traffic was pretty bad due to fire at treasure island. I decided to have a talk with my husband. I said, " I really wanna know writing is my vocation. Every single signs I saw over the last 2 month said that it is. And the day I said "okay, I am gonna be writer but I don't know what kind, and how. All I know is that it was always what I loved most. And, but I am not so confident about it. I wish you can give me some sign you know. don't give me some car crash right now. something more pleasant way. Like Paulo Coelho's example. He saw a white feather before he started writing. I mean not literary you have to give me a white feather but you know something that clear sign."
10 minutes later, right before the bay bridge, the white feather flew from somewhere and touched on my car windshield. Then, it flew away. It was tiny but it was white! I could not grasp what just happened until it flew away. Then, I said "white feather!" I still kept driving but I could not believe what he just did for me.
Then, I said to him, "You know you are awfully nice to me." I kept talking to him until I got to my school.
It was the second time I asked something very important question to him. First time was moving to Maui. Of course, when I asked, he did answer so clearly. So, we moved to Maui and it was the best time of my life. I was shaking after the experience. So I did not think it was unusual that he showed me white feather but I was surprised how fast he answered my question. well, he was not patient person even when he was alive.
I do not repeat about what happened to him or old memories about him so much but I think about him everyday. I include him to my dream and our son's future everyday. I have a conversation about that everyday with him. I realized his physical body is gone but he became part of who I am. I have him in me, everyday and all the time. Actually, his existence is becoming stronger and stronger after his death. I was happy to see him listening me and answered my question but more than anything I felt so good that I can take him to my journey.
