Ok so I've been a bad blogger! But I don't think I have had too many interesting things happen lately, but this I had to share.
So I've had my grandma recently go into the hospital (she's 92 but doing well), my friend's grandma is currently in the hospital and has been dealing with very hard times for the past 6 weeks, staff members at WSU have passed away or have gotten really injured, and a co-worker has had 2 relatives (mom and niece) pass away.
Now if you know me well enough I am afraid of death. I hate thinking about it, talking about, EVERYTHING about it. Thankfully I personally haven't had to deal with death since my other grandma passed away in June 2008, but I feel like I'm surrounded by it all of the sudden.
So I do get to thinking about how much I miss my grandparents. My grandpa died unexpectedly in 2000 and like I mentioned above, his wife, my grandma, passed away in 2008. I was really close to both of them and they were the 2 best grandparents a girl could have. I haven't thought about my grandpa in awhile and as I was walking through the tunnels here at WSU after grabbing my soup, an older man came around the corner. I looked up, saw him, and looked backed down at my feet as I usually do when I walk. But then I quickly looked back up. My word did he look like my grandpa...so much that it creeped me out and I quickly looked back down again. I knew I was getting closer to him b/c I could see him walking towards me and then I hear his voice, "Hi there young lady. Have a great day." I looked up, smiled, and said "Hi and have a great day as well."
WHAT!?!? WHY!?!? WHO!?!? What just happened? Why did he talk to me? Who was this man that so much resembled my grandpa? I immediately got teared up and walked much faster to get back to my desk and blog about it.
And as most of you know, I don't go to church like I used to since I have turned away against being a Catholic. But I am a believer of God and I think I just witnessed his amazing ways.
RIP Grandpa and thanks for letting me know you're still here with me.
