Two unrelated incidents(?) I was working in the camping aisle when this man, woman and a boy about 8 yrs old walked down to look at the tents and camping accessories. The man and the little boy were looking at everything, talking and discussing what they needed and the woman was standing off to the side. She was sniffing like she had a cold and I saw the man glance over at her once or twice and that's when I started to get a bad feeling in my stomach. By this time they were half-way down the aisle. When they turned to come back down to where I was standing, I looked up and she was staring directly at me and crying silently and there was so much pain and anguish in her face, that it took my breath away. She continued to look at me as she walked away. I got goosebumps and I couldn't move. Why in the world would she being crying like that in the middle of a store? I wanted to touch her as she went by, but I was frozen in place and they left and I kept doing what I was doing. But the rest of the night, I kept asking myself; why didn't I reach out and stop her, ask her if she was OK or hurt, did she need anything, could I help in anyway....I was just so absolutely shocked at the agony on her face that I let her walk away. A month or two later, my husband got bit by something on his face and it swelled up and became hideously distorted. He made a recovery of course with steroids. but then a month later, my son died in a HALO accident. His face was so distorted that we buried him with his face covered for viewing because we wanted everyone to remember him when he was alive and beautiful. And now when I'm alone in the house with just my thoughts, I wonder, did the universe try to give me a heads up...try to lesson the shock of what happened. I know it sounds crazy, that those two things are not related. Just strange incidents....but I always think about her...how she looked at me and how I realize now that I felt like she had been crying for ME and not something else....Is it possible that sometimes life gives us hints and we just never recognize it? I know I sound crazy...but I can't ever stop thinking about those two things...well anyway...I guess I just wanted to get that out of my head and somewhere else. Thank you Reddit friends for lending me your ear....
