V I D E O -- Deer Grove Woods Forest -- It's Been A Year -- T.C. Helps Remember Tom C. -- Angels -- CLOSED -- Video 02 of 02

January 13, 2011 -- Tom's ashes were scattered at Deer Grove a year ago. At that time this deer showed up that was willing to come rather close to our car. The belief/fantasy was that Tom had sent this deer to me. After not seeing the deer that I named T.C. after Tom C. T,C, showed up once again for the anniversary of Tom's fatal heart attack and my birthday.

 

flickr goes about 8 seconds into a video to get the still that it uses. On this video it was caught in the middle of a fade. As a result, it looks "ghosted". At first I thought I would redo it but then I realized the ghosted effect was totally appropriate for this video.

 

Fantasy aside, T.C. wants to cross the road and is asking me to move the silver beast. Putting her head down and back up again is the deer signal for movement. It can mean, "please move, you're in my way" or it can be a signal to other deer that it intends to move forward and/or that it is safe to proceed. If all else failed for T,C, she knew what "CLOSED" means and she knew I couldn't get my car past that point.

Thank you Agnes Siljekil for giving me a link to this song a while back. I knew I would use it for this sad anniversary.
