~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Peggy was one of my father's favorite cousins and he loved going into her Second Acte store, not only to talk with her but to buy shirts. For some reason, my father's goal was to have over 100 shirts and that he did. And also, my mother and I would go there to check out her 'wares,' and to chat.
We mentioned to Peggy that, or at least I did, that I found it odd about my dad's journey to and from work. It took my dad 30 minutes to get to work, but it took him 3 hours to get home! Why? With each stop my father made on the way home, he always ran into someone he knew and he talked... and talked... and talked.
So Peggy laughed and said that one of these days she was going to hide in her car at Vickers and follow him as he went from Walmart and all the stops he made just to see what he did do. I don't know if she ever did that, but knowing Peggy...she probably did.
Toward the end, my father would go to her house to visit her and one of her sons said that each time he came, my father would have Peggy laughing and she'd feel good while he was there.
If only we could stop time sometimes....and keep things like we remember, but I guess it will be that way when we all meet in Heaven again.
