Sighting

A few months after my husband died, a news clip about the Navajo Reservation flashes on my TV. In the scene an elderly Navajo man has on black horned-rimmed glasses, a western straw hat, and a blue checkered shirt with a down vest; clothes exactly like my husband wore. For a split second, I believe he is at home on the Res, and I know he is content.
