My favorite relative, my great Aunt Rubye, died just days before her 100th birthday, and also very soon before we found out we were pregnant with our son, in 1990. When he was about 18 mos, he was sitting in his highchair, me feeding him, and he was looking over my shoulder, and suddenly started moving his little hand as if he was "petting" something, vertically, from top, to bottom. I asked him what he was doing, and he just said, still looking over my shoulder, "Such long pretty hair...so pretty, so white." And I asked him "what?" He said, "Aunt Rubye...." So here's the weird part. Aside from the obvious fact that he had never met her, she ALWAYS had her hair in braids, on top of her head, Heidi-style. Yes there was a picture of her in the house and I had told him who she was, but how could a young child have a concept of what braids would look like down?? (I have very short brown hair.) The real kicker? We would only find out some years later that he is very hard of hearing, and his type of hearing loss can only be attributed to genetics. Aunt Rubye was deaf since about the age of 6, which is when his hearing loss became severe. How's that for a story? I am fascinated by everyone's stories, by the way, keep 'em coming. I am ABSOLUTELY, 100% convinced that he saw Aunt Rubye. No question!
