Have you ever followed a gut instinct? I did recently, and I will forever be glad.
I was on my way home from work when I got a call from my cousin telling me that my 84-year-old aunt (her grandmother) was very ill.
“She could die tonight or live six months,” my cousin said. “We just don’t know, but we thought you might like to spend some time with her. Her mind is good, but her body is failing.”
Before she called, I had stopped at a toy store to purchase new art supplies for my granddaughters, Tilleigh, 5, and Evie, 2, for a project we had planned for the evening.
“I have plans tonight, but I’ll visit Aunt Betty tomorrow afternoon,” I told my cousin. (Aunt Betty is my late father’s sister.)
