Have you felt the presence of Annette in your dreams or prayers?

This azalea (see pic) was given to me by someone at Dad's/Abbey's funeral. 5 1/2 years later, it seemed to have lived its useful life-- it isn't really an indoor plant and we were surprised it lasted this long! It was definitely about to die. A couple of weeks ago it started to get buds on it and they all bloomed this past weekend. Absolutely at their peak the day Annette died.

Seconarily. On monday morning, the day Aunt Annette died, i was making phelim and i our yogurt-bowl breakfasts, looking at the bowls thinking about a Depression-era pitcher that I loved, that I had gotten from Aunt Annette when she moved out of Boynton Beach, three years ago. Through carelessness or bad luck or a "sign" this summer, that irreplaceable pitcher shattered as I was making iced tea. Monday, as I was thinking about the pitcher, the bowl with the yogurt in it spontaneously cracked in two clean halves. I wasn't touching it--just looking at it and thinking about the pitcher! Ask Phelim!

On the day Annette died, my wifi suddenly went out in my apartment. The next day, I had no Internet connection in the office (only my computer was affected, everyone else was connected). Aunt Annette did not care for the Internet. She did not have an email address. Instead, one received notes and letters and post cards from Aunt Annette, and sent ones back in return. Thanks to that phenomenon, I have a bunch of wonderful letters to post, not soulless emails.My 48 hours without Internet, I believe, was Aunt Annette's work from beyond.
