So where do I really begin? I tell you the last few days have been extremely amazing. Through my father's death (which is still extremely sad to me) I have renewed contact with family on his side...it's been 20 years! I have talked with his twin and another sister of his, both of course my aunties! I have gained insight to things I never knew or wasn't ever made aware of due to being estranged from any family at all for 20 years.I won't go into the situation surounding the break from the family, but let's just say a series of missfortunate events and a very selfish bitter person or two caused it. I will keep you up to date with the afore mentioned events as the unfold. Today I was at work and just minding my own business, going about things as I ussually would...when an older gentleman came in...now this is where it gets interresting, he of course notices I am not English and mentions his wife was an American, from Ohio, ussually when asked where i am from i will say "All over" due to my extended travels taking up most of my life.For some reason to him I answered "Originally Illinois", now then he stated his Illinois connections and a few other bits of small talk connected to America, meeting his wife via the net ect...we found we had lots in common..unfortunately his wie had passed in October and so he was alone again....but that's when it really became odd.....he paid for his order and left...only to return a half hour later with a bag of grocieries.....not just any grocieries either...Tins and Tins of PUMPKIN PIE MIX!!!! OMG!!! I was stunned and touched to the point of having to hold back tears....he handed me the parcel and said "I don't know what to do with this stuff, I figured you would", I said...Dont you like pumpkin pie? to which he answered "oh yes, but I wouldn't know where to start with this stuff", so I took the parcel promising him a pie outta the deal and he gave me his number for when it was ready to pick up! I swear he was an angel in disguise!
