In this delightful true story, a new shop owner takes over a successful business. He worries he might not measure up to the task, and wishes his dad were alive so he could seek his counsel. His wish is answered when a winged visitor appears, evoking memories of his youth and his father's love and wisdom."Once in a while when we least expect it, life flies in with lessons and blessings on the Wings of Remembrance. Sometimes a wonderful unexplained coincidence should remain unexplained. This allows the miracle of the moment to live on and soar." - Mark Duffield
