Strange thing!

Had something rather odd happen the other day. Emma and I were on our way out to dinner, driving down the street, and I noticed something odd on the side of the street. It was a little girl, not more then 6 or 7 years old, walking along in the bike lane eating some candy. I happen to notice her....for one that she was young and walking along a busy street, but it looked like she was wearing pajamas and slippers. She looked like she was walking with a purpose or rather like she had done this every day.

We passed on by and stopped at the light. I turned to Emma and asked if she had noticed the girl walking down the street and she had not seen her. We sat there at the light and the girl kept walking. She slowly started to come in to the main part of the lane as she came closer to the intersection still sucking on whatever candy she was enthralled with.

Luckily all traffic was stopped going all ways in the intersection when she started to walk across the middle of the road. A small boy and his friend were walking across the street and were watching her as well the entire time. He walked over and grabbed her hand to bring her out of the middle of the intersection. Everyone that was stopped at the intersection and didn't move even when the light turned green until both kids were out of the way.

My only guess is that she was either sleep walking or had something very wrong with her. Was almost like it was from a movie or strange dream!

Love you Granny!!

Today was not a happy day. It wasn't a sad day either. Today we said "goodbye" to Granny. In a way I wouldn't really say that we said goodbye to her since I really don't feel that way. She was and always will be my Granny. It's hard to imagine that she is not with us to speak with and to hug.

She touched so many lives and today it really showed. So many people showed up to the service and some told stories of how she took care and loved each and everyone in a special way.

Recently since I moved away, she would call to say hi and ask how things were going. It was the usual "how is work" and "how is the house" and would always remember so many details about your daily grind. She would always end the phone call making sure that you knew how much she loved you and how proud she was of you and what you were doing.

So even though she is not here to check up on me I know that she will always be watching over me and making sure I am happy, healthy and loved very much. I will miss her a great deal and will so many other people that she touched.

I love you very much Granny!
