Great Grandmother's Mirror

I was feeling very down this day. My great great grandmother's
birthday was today. She would've been 101 years old today but she died
when she was 97. I first went to her gravesite and placed flowers on her
grave. Oh how I miss her! I sat down and talked to her and cried and
told her things that had been going in my life. As I was getting up to
leave I felt a wind but it wasn't exactly a wind; maybe just a soft
caress on my face. I knew it was her, I could feel it. Later when I had
driven the 36 miles home I went past her old home and God it saddened me
to see her house in ruins like that. I stopped the car and went in and I
walked throughout the house just feeling her all over. As I got ready to
leave I saw this face in a dusty mirror and I walked over to it and it
was her! I saw the faintest glimmer of a smile and she was gone. I was
thankful just for those few seconds with her on her birthday.
