The Owls Are Messengers of Big Change

A friend of mine had owls in his prints, suddenly. His family said it might mean that the eldest member of your family is going to die if it's a screech owl. A week later, my dad died. I don't know if this owl knew anything. But i also can't say for certain that that owl did not recognize me. Did not feel that for some reason i was meeting this visit. Is that a tradition that i can borrow? Can i imagine that an owl was visiting me to tell me that my dad was going to die? Probably not, but maybe.
