About 15-20 years ago, I was shopping at Cabela's for Christmas gifts. I got my father a weathered plaque with an image of a black bear which read, "An old bear lives here with his honey." He liked it a lot and displayed it prominently above the door at the top of the steps leading into the house from the front door.

My wife, daughter and I went to stay with my mom and dad in Pennsylvania when he went into a steep decline a few years back, and he ended up passing in February 2021. A couple months after the funeral, my family was preparing to move back to Alabama and one night my mom told me she wanted me to have that plaque.

The next morning I went out on the back porch for my morning coffee and smoke, and as though God was giving me some kind of message, this fella stepped out from behind a trellis, about 15-20' away from me. He huffed a few times, then sauntered off into the woodline...
