Small Miracles, all. Don’t doubt they can happen.
I first saw this Brigid statue at one of my favorite metaphysical stores months ago. At least six months, possibly more like eight or ten. At the time, I was just entranced by her, but didn’t feel like I could make the purchase financially.
And then this week, I learned the store was closing because the owner is retiring, and I was so sad. I immediately started planning a trip to visit the store before its closure in mid-February (it’s about a 90-minute drive). I can’t go for a few weeks, but there were several things that I was hoping the store would have, and that I could contribute to the store’s income before it closed. And I thought, “What if they still have the Brigid I wanted so much?” It seemed crazy. It’s been months. I thought surely someone would have bought her long ago.
But, I messaged the owner on Facebook, asking about the statue and several other items I was looking for. She was so incredibly nice, went looking for the items in the store for me, and sent me this picture to make sure this was the right statue. It was. After all these months, they still had her.
I teared up a little bit. It felt like she had been waiting for me.
So today, I called the store and paid for the statue, and they have packed her up and set her aside for me, so that I can pick her up when I go in person. The staff on the phone were equally gracious and kind, and seemed delighted that Brigid had found her way to me after such a long time.
I will be so sad to see this store go, but what a precious final gift to be given.
I have that same statue!!! She’s so perfect, congratulations :)
