Reflective Questions and Such

[kybearfuzz]

It's storming here and I'm bored. Given the rush of interview questions, I'll just pose these five and let those who want to answer any or all come forth.

1. What do you think you will do in Heaven?
2. What invention would you like to create?
3. Do you believe in ghosts? Any experiences?
4. What was your proudest moment to date?
5. What was your most disappointing moment to date?

My Answers

1. I figure that I'll spend a great deal of time in Heaven reviewing history, learning all of those unknowns like who Jack the Ripper was or whatever happened to Amelia Earhart. I picture that they have a library where you could look up any past event and truly learned what happened.
   
   
2. To play off my first response, a time machine that would allow a user to venture into the past to observe historical events. I think it would be like a viewing panel to prevent tinkering with history. Either that or a car that runs on tap water to save some gas money.
   
   
3. I do, but not of the chain-rattling wailing sort. I've never seen a ghost, but my nephew has. He was four years old when my grandmother passed away. He spent a lot of time with her and didn't fully understand the concept of death. One day, weeks after her passing, he was at her house and my mom was watching him. She walked into the room where he was playing and he asked where Mother was (we all called my grandmother "Mother"). Mom tried to explain to him that she was in Heaven. My nephew said, no she wasn't, she was just there a few minutes ago. It didn't spook my mom, but rather gave her a warm, fuzzy feeling that Mother was checking in on things.
   
   
4. My college graduation, May 22, 1994. I was the very first to graduate from college in my extended family. It was nice to walk across the steps and get that degree after four long years of working for it.
   
   
5. Strangely enough, it was the same day, May 22, 1994. My mom and grandmother (dad's mom) and my sister and brother came up to watch my graduation. I was hoping for a party and a couple of graduation presents (a used car actually) when I got home. Instead, there was nothing waiting for me when I got home that night. No party, no dinner, no gifts. I felt slighted. Logically, I understood, my folks were as poor as church mice and couldn't have afforded anything anyway, but any effort would have been appreciated.

1. I would have to say that my answer would be close to yours. There are a lot of questions that I would like answered. Hopefully, I would spend a lot of that time with the loved ones that have gone before me. I would also spend a lot of time looking after the
friends and loved ones still on Earth.

2. A stargate. I would love to travel to other worlds and meet new life forms.

3. Yes. I have never actually seen a ghost, but a similar thing happened to my niece. One year to the date of Ricky’s death, my sister went into Dana’s room and asked her why she was crying. Her response was that she missed Ricky. She then told her that she had seen him and had asked him when he was coming back. He told her that he had passed away and that this was the last time she would get to see him but that he would always be watching over her. She was too young to make up a story like that. They were pretty close. There was one other incident, but I won’t get into that here.

4. My proudest moment....I think that it would have to be the day that I mustered up enough courage to stand in front of a room full of people and propose to Ricky. Ring and all.

5. Same day. He turned me down. He didn’t know my parents that well at the time and he was afraid that it would cause problems between me and my parents. Of course that all changed. Sometimes I think my mom liked spending time with Ricky more than she did with me. :)

Let me just add that I know it's 11 years later, but if we get together, I will take you out and we can celebrate your graduation. Of course, I don't think I will be able to bring you a used car. :)

Oh, I've outgrown the need, but I appreciate the thought. :)

Any time Handsome.

And I understand how little ones see things we don't. I think their minds are more open to possibilities than ours. We rationalize, they wonder.

How true. It had a rather calming effect on me. To think that he was around looking after her.
