She is in a nursing home in Balch Springs, TX. I did not expect her to know me as her son said she had beginnings of some kind of dementia, possibly Alzheimer's. It had been at least 40 years. I recognized her as she had lost weight looked identical to her mother whom I also knew well. The nurse asked her if she remembered this lady. She stared at me only a few seconds and said excitedly that is Carol Ann. I was pleased and would not have exchanged those 15 minutes for anything in the world.<br /><br />I am so glad you have had one of those moments. When I reflect on my life, that moment instantly pops back in my mind.<br /><br />Hope you sell your house. And Halloween and Thanksgiving create new longlasting memories for you and your family.<br /><br />I am posting less but did today; am busy with cardiac rehab, etc. Procedure seems to have been successful but have two more months of healing before final assessment.<br /><br />NitWit1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035004840443397537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190495681369643112.post-37548228477760046132012-11-01T09:06:59.690-05:002012-11-01T09:06:59.690-05:00Maggie, I have been away from blogging too much, I...Maggie, I have been away from blogging too much, I have missed all this....I am slowly getting around to all my friends and I am so glad I came today.......I am sending you a big hug and lots of prayers!!!!<br />You have had so many struggles and challenges, this last year, but I know you are strong and can face everything head on, I think of you often and I have missed you so much!!!!!<br />Hugs,<br />Mags<br />TOM<br />xxxxxxxThe French Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116285579159003933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190495681369643112.post-71584852085575664412012-10-31T13:50:30.469-05:002012-10-31T13:50:30.469-05:00That really is an amazing story...time and chance!...That really is an amazing story...time and chance!

I think that it's ab...What a great post Maggie.<br />I think that it's about time your luck changes. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you sell the house for the price you are asking for. You can't blame the old girl for trying but I'm glad that you let your head rule.<br /><br />I too met my my teacher after six decade and she didn't look like the pretty young girl that I remembered but it was thrilling to have met her after so long... She remembered me because she stayed at my grandmother's house to be closer to the school. I even blogged about our encounter and we got our picture taken together at her house.<br /><br />What a beautiful picture of Kaci, your little wonder girl.<br /><br />I've skyped a few times but I'm not very good at small talks but I can be talkative if it's a subject I know something about. Hahaha.<br /><br />I hope that you have your cat and heat problem sorted out. <br /><br />Maggie I keep you and your family in my prayers but I can't take the credit for all that happened this week. Now I'll pray that you sell the house for a fair price.<br />Hugs.<br /><br />JBJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190495681369643112.post-76940808043117646222012-10-29T10:16:12.680-05:002012-10-29T10:16:12.680-05:00Loved,love,loved your story.:0)

I would ...wow, that story gave me chill bumps.<br /><br /> I would definately take it as a sign, that good things are on the way, if not already close by.<br /><br /> There are no accidents so seeing her all these years later, was meant to be. Now all you have to do is figure out the significance of it, beyond her allowing the girl to borrow the money,I mean.<br /><br /> Think hard, really hard,about what was going on at that time in your life , cause I think you will find something very important in that past information that will change your life for better NOW.<br /><br /> write me, if ya want to and we'll discuss it..<br /><br />love n hugs<br />SonnySonny Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926830309207639536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190495681369643112.post-7297377963195230692012-10-29T06:20:05.125-05:002012-10-29T06:20:05.125-05:00Wow!

There ...Don't you just love stories like this. There must have been a reason that you had your childhood teacher in your yard. I am hoping that you can sell your house but don't go too low. You just listed it. If they think it is too high wait a bit and see what will happen.<br />I had a similar experience a few years back. It was an x husband of my aunt's. I had met him only once. We were in a McDonalds at the airport. I asked him if he was Bob.....I don't even know how I remembered his name. He was a jerk when he was married to my aunt. I made sure to tell him how well she was. He tried to act like he didn't remember all of her family but i knew he was surprised that I knew him.<br />Yes, praying for thos storm not to be as bad as predicted. Loss of power is so awful let alone damage and injuries. I saw a young family with three small children saying they weren't leaving. That may be there choice but not those little ones.<br />Hey, maybe we can skype sometime.<br />Love the picture of your sweet granddaughter.
