The Rainbow, Thanks for the sign, Duke Options

[Shimmer]

My heart is thumping in my chest. The most amazing thing just happened. I sat down at my computer about ten minutes ago and tried to write a poem about Duke and the love we shared. I wanted to write a happy poem but I couldn't find the words. I was too lost in my grief so I began writing about my pain instead. I wrote the following:

The shards of my soul pierce my heart
As the love flows from my eyes
The salty residue of grief
Unable to bridge the void of your absence

Outside it rains, inside it pours
My heart thunders in my chest

I searched my mind for the next lines and decided on:
There is no sunshine in my life
I am unable to see the rainbow

Before I was able to write those lines, my mother called for me to come upstairs. I was annoyed at the interruption until I found out what she wanted me for. She wanted me to see a gorgeous rainbow that had formed! I ran out to look at it and ran back in to grab the camera. It was a huge rainbow, way too big to be captured in one picture. It was the most beautiful and touching thing I've ever experienced.

I'm sure some people would say it was just a coincidence but I'm unable to believe that. I know it was Duke, I just know it . Thank you, baby. Thank you so much.

I'm going to post a picture of part of the rainbow below. I hope it gives comfort to others on this site.
