Beads and Bag

[qos]

I spent today packing most of my possessions in preparation for moving tomorrow. It was challenging on all kinds of levels, including missing LM, who would have been there to help me if he was still alive. Instead, I found myself stopping at semi-regular intervals to reach out and connect with him, seeking reassurance and moral support.

Overall the results were pretty good, but it was hard because everytime I found a quiet corner to sit down in for a few minutes someone was coming to me with questions about what/how to pack.

During the late afternoon I went to sit on my bed for a moment and was startled to find the prayer beads that oakmouse made for me when LM died neatly laid next to the pillow. Which was very strange, because I had left them on the bedstand the night before and not moved them. The next time I went to the bed, the crocheted bag she had made for the beads was lying on the bed.

I suppose it's possible that someone else moved them, but no one was working in there during the times in question.

The way things have been going lately, I find it more plausible to believe that either LM (or one of his new friends) wanted to remind me that I have tools to help me connect with him, or the beads themselves wanted to make sure they didn't get left behind in the move!

I think I said in for a penny, in for a pound. *g* It may well have been one of your new acquaintances from the land of Froud. That sort of gesture --- whether to bring the items to your attention or to ensure they didn't get forgotten --- would be characteristic of them.
