abruptly that morning because my husband was doing something to annoy me
downstairs.There was my mother at the foot of the bed standing there looking at
me and she said"that's just Edgar" and smiled. I was not upst or shocked at the
momemt, but was waiting on her to say something else and she was gone! Then it
hit me! Why didn't I speak to her? She was gone yet she was here with me in this
room! Why didn't I spaek to her instead of just looking? I was so mad at
