We got food at Flounders and then headed out to the Cross. The Cross is a surfer\u2019s break which is marked by a large white cross on top of a large sand dune. Pretty col because somehow it survives every hurricane that comes ashore.<\/p>\n<p>So as we sat there talking and enjoying each others company, Glenda decides she wants to go in, fully clothed \ud83d\ude42 So she empties her pockets into my camera bag and proceeds to go and enjoy the gulf and its waves. We hung out for around an hour or so then headed off for Maguire\u2019s Irish Restaurant and Pub.<\/p>\n<p>The tradition at Maguire\u2019s is to write yourame on a dollar bill and hang it on the wall. To date they have somewhere around $600,000.00 hanging from everywhere inside. So we wanted to memorialize Noah but putting up a dollar with hisame on it. The bartender hung it for us behind the bar where it might stay longer without being covered up. We then toasted to our sweet angel. I ran out and got my camera, because I really wanted a pic to remember his dollar by.<\/p>\n<p>A while later Sharon hadoticed the clock on my phone was stuck at 5:50. Hmmm&#8230;do digital clocks ever stop? I then opened my phone and the clock went back to the real time of 6:22. Sharon then asked me what time I hung the dollar bill. After looking at the time stamp on the photo I took which was 6:02, we surmised it may have been at 5:50. Very weird, an almost twilight zone thing. And when I began thinking about it, that could have been the time when Noah left this world also a couple of mornings before. I had been wondering when exactly that had been, I wonder if we got an answer? So many odd occurrences, I believe anything is possibleow.<\/p>\n<p>We were just about to leave when Sharon\u2019s mom suggested we do another round. No problem for us \ud83d\ude42 We drank up and paid our bill and headed out the door, and just as I stepped outside the door I heard a crazy thing playing on the outside speakers. It was an irish song (here the song) and I heard&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Hey Noah, I&#8217;ll tell you what to do. Build me a floating zoo&#8230;\u201d<\/em><strong><\/p>\n<p>Were my ears playing tricks on me??? Rachie, who was right behind me, she heard it to. We all just looked around to each other with pure amazement on our faces. We all were hearing it! It was a song about Noah\u2019s Ark. The Unicorn Song!<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cand take some of those&#8230;<br \/>\nGreen Alligators and long-necked geese<br \/>\nSome humpty backed camels and some chipanzees<br \/>\nSome cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you\u2019re born<br \/>\nDon\u2019t you forget my unicorns\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By this time we were all hugging each other, crying and listening to little Noah\u2019s song, or at least weow assume it is \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I just couldot believe that this song was playing at just this exact moment for us to hear. Now I think everyone knows that everything we bought for Noah almost was Noah\u2019s Ark stuff. The feeling while standing there holding everyone was so overwhelming. I felt sadness, yet total comfort and hope. It felt as if Noah himself or someone else maybe was trying to tell us Noah is alright. We all just got the feeling that was the message. Loud and clear. I realize many people doot believe in stuff like getting messages from beyond. Hell, if you knew me really well you would know I am truly a sceptic with this stuff. But I felt it. I felt Noah\u2019s presence so clear, and so true. It was amazing. What I consider as a small miracle.<\/p>\n<p>That moment was a turning point in all of us I think. Where sadness really did turn to hope. It seemed as if we were told, \u201cIt\u2019s all right with the world, Noah is safe and happy\u201d. I mean come on! What could be a better song in the whole world to tell us that, except a happy upbeat Irish children\u2019s song about Noah and his ark, and the magical unicorns that left the earth to be with God?<\/p>\n<p>Once again, thank god I had witnesses!!<\/p>\n<p>Nothing more happened that evening except us all sitting around talking about what happened, trying to process everything. But one little thing more.<\/p>\n<p>When Glenda and Joy went back to their hotel room, when they turned on their TV, there was a cartoon playing that was about Noah\u2019s Ark.<\/p>\n<p>Now even if I doot have you believing, which you have to admit these are some uncanny coincidences for sure. I still have one more story to add about mysterious happenings. But I have to write it another time, I have to get working.<\/p>\n<p>Wanna hear the song?
