Once, when I was a young patrolman sitting in my police car along a quiet road with the window rolled down, a soft breeze kissed my face and lifted my hair. In that moment, I suddenly felt my maternal grandmother, Mary, who had passed away years before. I had not been thinking of her beforehand, and it was a most exhilarating and unexpected feeling. And the breeze seemed to soothe me, like a hug and a kiss from her. I never forgot that random, lovely moment, and only shared the experience with my mother. Life can be such a grand mystery, but there are serendipitous moments that lift our spirits.
