Hi sweetheart,
A couple of strange things happened today and yesterday. I must have dreamed about you both nights and during naps too because I can remember waking up to the crushing realization that you weren?t really here, you?re really dead. I must have been dreaming that you were alive. I can only remember the barest fragment of a dream, and that was to think, oh, no, he?s not here at all, and I felt so upset and depressed.
Yesterday I made a meatloaf and wished out loud that I knew where the metal spatula was?and here is something wild, just now I couldn?t remember what it was called. I typed first, scapula and thought, no that?s wrong and asked Heidi who looked at me like I head six heads and said the flat pancake flipper thing is called a spatula. What is wrong with me? Anyway, I was hanging up some laundry this morning in the basement and there it was in plain sight, right in my path for hanging up the clothes. I looked at it in complete amazement. It?s been missing for over a year, I?m sure, because I remember we thought Billy threw it out with the pizza box.
I brought it up and showed it to him, and his eyes got all big too and he asked, ?Where did you find it?? When I told him, he shook his head with disbelief and said how could it have been there? He would have seen it when he cleaned up and reorganized the basement.
?Anyone should have seen it, it was so out in view,? I told him.
He turned red a little. I don?t know what he thinks of life after death but I think he?s got some doubts now about his conviction that there?s no afterlife.
It?s true, Rich, ANYONE should have seen that spatula ? but as many times as we?ve been in the basement, hanging clothes, bringing up boxes, taking them back down, as many of us walked there?well, someone should have seen it. You know what I think? I think you moved it there so I could find it. Thank you, sweetie!
Billy feels vindicated. ?I knew I didn?t throw it out accidentally!? he exclaimed. We can figure out how it got down there too. It must have happened the last time you defrosted the freezer. Kristin remembered using it to scrape frost and ice from the shelves.
FAR OUT!!!
Love you,
Me
