Marie Robinson of England lost her son Jack to brain cancer on April 1, 2014. The sweet four-year-old child also left behind his identical twin brother and three sisters.
On the third anniversary of Jack’s death, Marie visited his grave. But the bereaved mom had no idea she’d get a guest of her own. Marie got in her car and drove to the cemetery that morning. She thought to herself that dear Jack please show mom a sign.
A little red robin quickly took notice of her as she rested on the grass beside Jack’s tombstone, circling around her and confidently resting on her foot and hand.
Astonished, Marie pulled out her phone and videotaped the robin as he gazed her in the eyes and then sat on her shoulder, pecking softly. Marie commented on Facebook that it made her cry. She is interpreting it as a message from Jack.
