I hate it when Blogger loses my entry- I just finished writing one, I guess I took too long, and when I went to check it out, the site gave me an error. I lost everything I had written. So annoying.
Anyway- this weekend, I had a pretty big shock. Remember when I mentioned that my neighbor had passed away? And I was feeling all guilty for not seeing her for over a year? Well, I finally made it over to the house when someone was there. Her daughter in-law opened the door. I told her that I'd heard what happened. She ushered me in. As I was asking if there was anything I could do, she said, "no, but she's in the other room."
Um..."she's in the other room"?!??!?!?!?!?! WTF!!?!?!?
Lo and behold, sitting on her green, plastic, 1970s reject couch, was my little old neighbor...ALIVE and KICKING!!!
Apparently, she fell down and broke a bone. The ambulance came and picked her up. My stupid tenant saw this, and assumed that she passed away, probably because of her age.
Fortunately, after my initial shock, I went out to the car and grabbed Gavin and Jeff. We were able to spend a little time with her and I felt much better. Her son told us that they were moving her down to a home just outside of Columbus. She has another son that lives there. They're moving her a week from today.
Sadly, I know once she moves, I'll probably never see her again. I did tell the son that we'd be happy to help with anything. I'm going to go by there this weekend to say goodbye.
Now I'm feeling all nostalgic.
