I Thought of Tommy Today ...









Photos of boiled eggs I was taking shells off earlier today.  This is when I thought of my son, Tommy.  He loved boiled eggs, he would always mysteriously appear when I boiled eggs ... even when he wasn't home ... he would be coming in the door.

Sometimes, when I feel Tommy ... I take photos hoping ... hoping for some kind of sign ... oh silly me, I'm just a grieving mother. Gloria Faye Brown Bates/Granny Gee






Today ... I was taking the shells off the boiled eggs in photo above.  I thought about Tommy, how he always appeared whenever I made boiled eggs.



Tommy would always ask to get one, and of course ... I would smile, tell him to eat all he wanted ... and he didn't have to shell them ... I had already done it.



Today was no different ... I thought of Tommy.  Not only that, I decided I would take photos of the boiled eggs ... who knows ... maybe I would see a ... sign ... in one of my photos that ... Tommy was here!  Does that sound silly?  It may be ... but, that's what I did, regardless.



I've sat here ... looking at each photo hoping I'd see something mysterious ... I only see a flash of light from my cellphone camera.  I wondered ... do you see anything?



I just 'feel' Tommy is near at certain times whenever there's something he loved.  Maybe it's wishful thinking by a grieving mother.

Yes, I fully expected ... something ... when I was peeling those eggs :)

  1. If you can feel him near to you then that's all that is necessary. He was there, whether the pictures show it or not.
