Spring and the family good luck charm

I'm having an... interesting semester. Much to learn about life and all the things that the writers of The Wonder Years would have found prime material for an episode.
Now Spring has arrived, the bugs are back, the birds are singing, the trees are sprouting. I just came across something very near and dear to my family. My first sighting of a cardinal for the year.

My grandfather and grandmother loved cardinals. My grandfather died when I was eight, and ever since them my mother told me that seeing one was a sign of him. Since then, they've become sort of a good luck charm for the family. If you see a cardinal, thinks are going to be in your favor soon.

Well, honestly, I wish it came to me awhile ago. I haven't seen a cardinal in a long time, maybe over a year. Maybe now things will work in my favor, I could use a some luck right now and after everything maybe a little good karma might come my way.
