“Mama’s Moon”, is very special for my wife as this is a special/tangible connection to her wonderful mother, Beverly.
Secondly, the year 1977 was the year my youngest brother and great person, Robert, was born.
This morning, December 26th 2015, something rather special happened that I captured on video and I would like to share.
It’s the early morning, 3am PST, after Christmas 2015 and this year was the first Full Moon since 1977.
- First of all any Moon, and especially a Full “Mama’s Moon”, is very special for my wife as this is a special/tangible connection to her wonderful mother, Beverly.
- Secondly, the year 1977 was the year my youngest brother and great person, Robert, was born.
So while this is a particularly emotional time of year of both of us for missing our loved ones, this unusual event brought us even closer together for reflection, appreciation and gratitude. Therefore, I wanted to capture the moment digitally on my cell phone.
Here is a summary of the events:
- 3am PST photo shoot from my iPhone
- Chilly weather but not windy or raining as I head outside to take the photos
- The 1+ minute video is me panning across the neighborhood Christmas lights from left-to-right
- As I start to pan-up to the Full Moon you can clearly hear the wind pick-up temporarily
- This gave me chills as I clearly felt Bev and Matt’s presence. They were saying “We’re okay. Enjoy your time.”
- Then as I continue to pan across the sky back the the neighborhood lights you can hear the wind die-down
It was this timely, yet completely-random, ‘gust’ of wind that was truly special and I wanted to share with all of you.

-Merry Christmas From the Neal Family
