Yesterday, I had the luxury of going grocery shopping alone and did not have the feeling of being rushed like I normally do - like the second I pull away, the stop watch starts. As I walked though the parking lot of Safeway, there was an elderly woman with an empty cart that had just finished loading a few small bags of groceries into her trunk. I asked her if I could take her cart for her and she said, "Oh that would be great!" When I looked at her face, I had this overwhelming feeling of recognition of her. I said to her as I looked into her wise eyes, "Do I know you from somewhere?" She took my hand I said, "You look familiar too - what is your name?" I told her and it did not ring a bell for her. Continuing to hold my hand, she told me such a sweet thought... "How wonderful it is when you recognize someone and speak up to tell them - even when you cannot place the person. I may just have a familiar face...either way, eventually, everything makes sense and we do remember." With that, she let go of my hand and wished me a pleasant day.
Who was this woman? I still cannot place her, but I am so glad I had a moment with her - whoever she is.
Update on Kelsey and the insurance mess...Though we have not yet come to a firm resolution on this, I have peace about it. I know it will work out the way it is suppose to. We will be filing for an extension of therapy visits which we are confident will be approved. I know we are not the only people having to battle with insurance to get things covered - and with the way the economy is, I am just thankful that we have insurance!
