Knowing that I like doing the Jumbles in the daily newspaper, my sister brought a book of Jumbles to me last night.
As I slept last night, my mother (who passed over in 2016) came to visit my sister and I. The two of us were busy in the kitchen.
Mom headed for the kitchen table to sit down. She spotted the new Jumbles book and picked it up and took it to her place at the table. She picked up a pen, opened the book and began solving the first jumble of letters.
I walked over to her, put my hand on her shoulder and said, “Mimi bought that for me tonight. But I really don’t have the time for those. So you can have it, Mom.”
Well pleased, as an old Jumbles fan, she smiled like the Cheshire Cat.
It was nice to see her again and see that Cheshire Cat grin of hers that she used to show so often when she was delighted. And the Jumbles thing — that was just her letting me know, as I awoke, that it really was her and she really came for a visit.
Thanks, Mom. Love you! I’ll hang on to the Jumbles book for you until your next visit from Heaven.
