I was too rattled last night to write about this, but can’t resist sharing this with you. I had an “unusual” thing happen last night. I went in town to go to Wal-mart last night (later in the evening, about 10:30) and as I was going through the store shopping I was getting more and more down & feeling kind of miserable. They had Christmas music playing and the decorations every where, I had to pass through the Christmas section (trees, decorations for the tree and house and out side decorations, wrapping paper, bows, and all that). I was feeling pretty bad by the time I got out of the store. Both my mom and dad are dead (have been for some time, but still hurts this time of year) and Christmas was such an extra special time for us. As long as I can remember, it was so very very special. So as I said, I was in kind of a pretty bad way by the time I got out to the vehicle. At this point I need to tell you that I never listen to the radio in the vehicle or have it on for any
reason. It was not on when I drove into town. But after I had unloaded my shopping into back of the vehicle, then started the engine, all of a sudden the radio came on and the song “Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer” was playing, and it was the original one by Gene Autry. That was my favorite song as a kid and every Christmas mom and dad would have to play it for me on the record player (yes, those old ones back in the late 50’s and early 60’s) and I wouldn’t/couldn’t fall asleep unless one of the two of them sang me to sleep with that song. It got to where year around, every night one of them would have to sing that song to me before I would fall asleep. So it has very special meaning to me. For it to suddenly come on the radio (at the exact moment the song was just starting), and the radio to have come on by itself, when I was hurting so bad……. I sat and cried through the whole song. But it made me feel so special, even though I cried. I know what I believe as to why it
happened, but you can make up your own minds as to why you think it happened.
