I tried to make friends with an elderly neighbor lady a long time ago.
I think I was about 19 at the time...and my mother told me that Carl, her husband, told her that Ann was really lonely. Of course my mother couldn't be bothered. She made ME go. It was weird at first, but she was a very nice lady, and we had a couple of very nice visits.
She died two years later...and I just happened to be house-sitting for my mother at the time.
I was lying in bed...and behind my closed eyelids, ANN appeared. She was absolutely transformed. But I knew who she was. She was YOUNG...and she was wearing an outfit from the 1940's. And she had an enormous grin on her face and she WAVED at me!!!
I was so shocked and surprised to "see" her, that I didn't respond...but later, I realized what had happened.
And NOW, thinking back, I am very honored that she "visited" me to say goodbye.
