Ten years ago, a few days after my birthday, a boy I was secretly in love with had a car crash and died. He aqua-planed in a rain storm. After his funeral I drove through the pouring rain (what were the odds?) to the crash site thinking "This was what he saw in his last minute" and I couldn't hold back the tears. I felt desolate. I said out loud oh please give me some sign that he is happy somewhere other than earth. I drove around the last bend before the place where he abruptly died and there was the most spectacular rainbow. A full rainbow, with a slightly less vibrant one above and a very faint one below. So three rainbows really. I know he is ok. Whenever I see a rainbow I say out loud "Ah, there you are Darren" My children think rainbows are called Darren and my husband even points and says "Say 'hello' to Darren".
