Busy, Busy, Busy...

I haven't written for a while...

The Federal Review is the week of November 11th, and we are very busy preparing for it.  I go in early, come home late and go to bed early.  Lots of paperwork to review...must dot those i's and cross those t's!

Then something happened today that I have to get down in writing!  First a little background.

In February of 2007 my mother-in-law, Marion, was hospitalized with a few brain tumors.  It was very sudden; one day she was fine and the next day when she awoke she thought her grown children were in high school. The only sign we could find that she was hurting was the bottle of Excedrin on the night stand.  They were malignant and she pass within the week of the diagnosis.

It was on February 7th, that my daughter called me at 6am; the family was being called in.  Brandie called me since her father wasn't going to drive in to Shadyside Hospital.  We started out on the hour drive, and half way there, my car horn started to beep on its own account!  I told Brandie that it was Marion who honked the horn, letting us know that she just passed over, and knew we were on our way.  We checked the time....

Sure enough, when we arrived, she had passed over. ...and the time of the honking was the official time of death.

But there's more...on February 7, 2008 my car horn started honking for no reason...

and on March 21, 2009 (her birthday) my car horn started honking for no reason...

For the last three years all has been quiet.

Today, I was driving out to the mall; daydreaming as I drove.  I was thinking about my dad, and Lily Dale and mediums, and reincarnation.  I thought for sure that Marion would have come through a reading this past summer at Lily Dale.  I was driving today and thinking that maybe Marion chose to reincarnate and that is why she has been quiet.

I had no sooner thought this than....can you guess?.....my car horn let out one long honk!
