Tire Hearts

by Kay Heitsch

Right before Christmas, I went to the dentist for a cleaning. The dentist came in to check and said, "I don't want to ruin your Christmas, but you need to have 3 new replacement crowns on your teeth." I thought that crowns lasted forever, but I found out they don't. One crown had decay under it, and all 3 were very old. I've had more than one crown at a time done before. It was an ordeal I was not looking forward to.

On the day of my appointment, I was kinda feeling apprehensive. I wasn't distraught, but I wasn't looking forward to this experience either. When I pulled out of our garage, I noticed that we had had light snow. At the end of the driveway, I saw two interlocking hearts made by tire tracks. I couldn't believe it! I jumped out of the car and took a picture.

When I got to the dentist's office, I showed the girls. Everyone was in awe and asked, "Who did this?" Of course, I had no idea. Since I'm on Facebook, I thought I'd post the picture. As I clicked on the "Home" page, a post read, "Someone In Heaven Loves Me." WOW!

Now I don't think that some angel came and put tire tracks in the shape of two interlocking hearts on the driveway. But I do believe this gesture was a reminder that someone in Heaven does love me.
