Mike, I thought of you yesterday. Remember at Sikorsky when you walked by my desk and saw the little sparrow figure there? You asked if I knew that God knows when each sparrow falls? I told you I KNOW, that is my favorite quote. We became friends, shared books, and life and God. Yesterday, I was waiting for testing results for possible returning cancer. I was saying a little prayer, and heard tap, tap, tap and looked to the window next to me, to see a little sparrow on the ledge tapping the window. I thought of you.
