It was freezing cold, and the cemetery was covered with snow. I remember standing, staring at the casket. I was still in disbelief that what I was seeing was true.
Grief has a way of causing a person to react much differently than they usually would. Bill's dad had never given Bill a hug in his life. However, he walked over and gave Bill a hug. We were all hurting.
Bill's brother and wife were staying at a hotel in town. Their oldest son was around 9 years old, and he was having a hard time dealing with Todd's death. The morning of the funeral, there seemed to be a significant change in his attitude. His mom told me that Josh had told her that "Wendy" had told him that everything would be OK, and he didn't need to worry about Todd.
I was skeptical about this incident. Who was Wendy? And where did Wendy come from? No one seemed to know.
A few weeks later, I was going through Todd's desk drawers when I found a book he had written in the 6th grade. Todd called the book The Christmas Tree Caper. The book was about him and his partner, Wendy. Could this Wendy be Todd's guardian angel? Was this the Wendy who told Josh not to worry that Todd was OK?
Will I ever know if Wendy was Todd's angel? I believe some day I will.
