We became friends. She treated me like a grandson. I called her the next day to check in on her & she died shortly after that. I guess she had a blood clot & took her down some how. She was a WW2 Survivor from East Berlin. Anyways, weird things happen to me. I mention this because on my time off, this was the only thing that was tough. This lady was a believer; she had no idea that she had less than 48 hours to live when I meant her. I was glad though; as she had no family here & she needed a friend. I am convinced everthing happens for a reason... even though I am not sure about this encounter which seemed somewhat surreal.
Anyways, bless you all & I have missed being here. Scooter

Well Chris, I am convinced that everything happens for a reason. Although it may not have been for me, it was for something. It was a surreal evening with her that night... she had alot of wisdom & talked to me like I knew her my whole life. She was indeed a special lady with quite a past. I think of her every time I walk out to shop- pieces of her bumper/parts laying on the side that I promised I would get rid of for her. She died alone & lonely... but I was able to be a part of her final hours & be a friend. It helped me get out of myself & remember what really matters. Cheers, Scoot
