Very recently, my mother in law passed away unexpectedly. I am finding that everywhere I go I feel like I see her. I keep seeing women that have the same haircut as her.. same body style as her... same age as her. Its almost kind of freaky. Maybe my mind is just in overdrive missing her and its trying to find where she has gone missing. Is this normal?
And along those lines... I've developed a bad habit of seeing elderly people and thinking "Why not them? Why my mother in law, who was not yet 60 years old... who had years and years ahead of her. Why not this little old bitty at the bank who can't even figure out her accounts or better yet- hear the teller when she was trying to explain it to her. Why my mother in law? Why not the little old man who can't see over his steering wheel or go remotely close to the speed limit?" I know it sounds terrible. It is terrible. I can't stop asking why though. Why?
