Haley&Hazel lit a candle

“I remember when i found a buckeye (first time seeing/holding one) while walking home, I was thinking about you at the time. I felt like it meant 'hidden tightly away'; a bit later on i was walking home again and saw a dove in the sky 'Freedom and peace'. what followed next is what made me beleive those were physical signs from you. now you are free, at peace and soaring though the skys protecting your family and friends. Rest easy Achakapis, you are safe now, you are home. 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪”
