I recall once while living in Florida I got a phone call at 2 a.m.. I was asleep and out of it when I picked up the phone. I was greeted with, "Will you take a collect call from....?" I don't rememeber what I said, but then Mom said, "April Fools!" I was confused and lost. She informed me she wanted to be the first to get me on April fools. I assured her she was definintely the only one and we talked briefly before I hung up and went back to bed. One thing about her you never knew what you were going to get. I think about her quite a bit. Every April fools day since I remember that call and laugh at the craziness.

April Fooled me.
The first day of April has all but come and gone. Aside from a few tricks from CC about spiders in my hair the only fooling I got today was from weather. What a weird day! I drove up to work in a snow storm and came home 2 hours later in bright and sunny skies. At one point the sun was blazing and flakes were coming down. The day ended very nice so all ended well.

Ya she had a lot of craziness lol. I remember the random calls at all hours asking for the time. Or asking for Bret, Cory, anyone but me, the one she called. I used to love to joke around with her and give her a hard time. She had a great sense of humor. I think about her a lot. The last few weeks she has visited me in my dreams. Usually just giving me motherly advice, such as- I understand you have a gun and its part of your job, but Andrew, you really shouldn't shoot anyone unless its absolutely necessary. I miss her.
ReplyDeleteEverybody seems to see her in their dreams, except me. We've had no visitations, no dreams, nothing. Oh, I did have this dream that she came and left her husband here... wait a minute...
ReplyDeleteI got a chuckle out of that Mike. Pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteBuckwheat- now your going to think of her every time you think to use it.
