[jessie214]

Lucy and Shirley (Lucy's great aunt) liked to visit eachother especially at christmastime. One day Lucy went to see Shirley "Hello my dear" Shirley said as Lucy went in the door. How are you doin" Lucy asked "Im ok how are you doin?" they talked and Shirley gave Lucy her watch and said "I want you to have this. Take good care of it." "I will" Lucy said. And when Lucy got into her car she noticed that the watch was dead so she went to walmart and bought a new battery for it and it worked. Then a few years later Lucy was with Savannah now 2 when she recieved a phone call that Shirley had passed away in her bed and Lucy pulled over at a restaraunt and cried and Savannah says "whats wrong momma?" "Your great great aunt went to heaven today." then Savannah leaned on her arm. Then they went home and saw Kevin, Eric, and Annie were sitting on the couch looking through some pictures for the collage they are making. Lucy went up to Annie and hugged her. They all started to cry. Then Lucy went upstairs and got her watch that Shirley had given her and put it on her wrist. Lucy wanted to go to the store and Annie says "Ok, Be careful" Lucy was at the hallmark store and spotted an angel pin and thought of Shirley so she bought one for her. A couple days later they went to the funeral and Lucy, Kevin, Eric, and Annie were there and the Reverend Marcus Coleman read the obituary for Shirley. "Shirley Ann Rutherford, 95 had passed away on Aug 20th 2006. She was a great friend, aunt, mother to Mr. Micheal James Rutherford. She will be greatly missed." Lucy went up to Shirley's coffin she put the angel pin on Shirley's shirt and told her "this is for you" and Eric came up and sang Amazing Grace. There were alot of flowers all in pink and blue. And when they arrived at the cemetary they all started to pray for her. And one night when Lucy was sleeping she had a dream that Shirley talked to her and when Lucy woke up the next day she saw a humming bird flying by her window and looking at her and Lucy thought of Shirley knowing that shes around her in spirit. Kevin and Lucy decided to go to the poolhall and when Kevin went to get the drinks Lucy met a girl with downs syndrome she is 30 with long blonde hair. Lucy asks the lady what her name was and the lady said Shirley and Lucy was astounded and said "That was my great aunt's name too" And the lady told her "its ok shes with you" and Lucy started to cry and said "thank you" And they talked. Shirley noticed the watch and said "Thats a nice watch you have" Lucy says "Thanks my great aunt gave it to me" "She told you to take care of it?" "Yes she did. How did you know" Lucy asked "I was there" Shirley said. "But i didnt see you" Lucy said. "I can see people in visions." Shirley said. "You mean your a psychic?"Lucy asked "Yup I am" Shirley said. Lucy was astounded and said "That is so cool!" And when Kevin arrived Lucy told him "I want you to meet someone and she turns around and the lady wasnt there. and she looked around the pool hall and she asked the bartender if she had seen a lady with downs syndrome. and he said "no I havent" Kevin said "Amazing! she must have been an angel." "I guess so." Lucy says. And they went back home with Savanna and her babysitter and they went to bed. And the next morning Lucy heard Savanna laughing and went to her room and noticed Savannah looking up and pointing. Lucy stared at the ceiling and said "Thanks Shirley".
