Strange ties

It's strange how people have some weird connection to each other. A mothers intuition, twins, family members, even close friends.

That moment when you have the sudden urge to call or text someone and it turns out their having a bad day or dealing with something and needed a friend.

Those creepy stories you hear about twins feeling things that the other feels, sensing when the other is in trouble or sad.

A mothers intuition when she can feel that something is going on with her child.

When my g-daddy was in the hospital many years ago, just one of his many trips to hospitals, and everyone knew that things weren't looking well. His memory was slipping and he couldn't keep memories/time straight. The doctors told everyone that he would be ok again like always and that it was ok if we go home. We were heading back to Albany, from Smyrna where they live, and we were probably half way there when my mom just couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. She didn't want to leave yet so we turned around and headed back up to Smyrna. G-daddy passed away that very next morning.

This little old lady that my dad was an attorney for and pretty much guardian over was in terrible health, physically and mentally. She had been in several different nursing homes because frankly she was not a pleasant lady and with her deteriorating mental state things just got worse. She was in and out of the hospital several times because of different health problems all stemming from old age though, like falling and breaking her hip. She was in her 90's! Well one night my dad suddenly woke up around 4am and just knew that something was wrong with her. Thinking that no one would answer a phone at that time and thinking that she was probably fine just got hurt or something again he waited till he got up around 8am to call. The nurse told him that she had passed away during the night.
