This dove mysteriously appeared in a brand-new nest outside my door within hours after Nathan died. It was bizarre because I never saw it until then, never saw it building the nest, and I frequently used the outside light. Nathan used to always go around saying “peace” and giving the peace symbol. It raised two babies there, then flew away. I’d hear it cooing around the clock, and for months I heard no other birds chirping early in the morning, they all oddly disappeared.
