My matriarch Aija, was just shy of 17 years old....she and my mother were very close, and when mom died, Aija grieved and looked for her around the house for almost 2 years.....she would go into mom's bedroom and back up until she could see up on mom's bed, looking for her....mom had a pair of flats she always wore out in public....Aija would see mom's shoes in her closet, and she would start to look all over the house for mom, because Aija "knew" she was in here someplace since mom's "going" shoes were in the closet.... |
