My husband was a big believer in receiving signs from people we love who are physically gone, and also thought people could somehow mess with you after they are gone. That has happened several times already.
Every Sunday we watched a favorite singer songwriter duo The Kennedys do a concert on you tube.They have a different theme every week and you can make requests. I did not know until days later the one this Sunday is The Beatles, his favorite group, and specifically songs from 1963 and 1964. He was born in 1964. Frank stopped making requests each week because he always asked for obscure geek level songs that they did not play. I guess they wanted to keep it more mainstream. We are friendly with them since we have been following them since 1997 and talked to them numerous times. I reached out to Maura Kennedy and asked if they would play “No Reply” for Frank this week. I hope they will. It will be really difficult to watch their concert alone, but I want to do it.
Another sign-we are huge fans of Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul. I am sad that he will not see how Better Call Saul ends (if I can even make myself watch the last season when it finally airs) His favorite character is Mike, played by Jonathan Banks. In the middle of one night, I was flipping channels since I could not sleep. I came across the show Designing Women , which was on for seven seasons. They were showing an episode where Jonathan Banks was a guest star, playing a comedic role, which was rare for him. I have not seen that show in over twenty years, so it is truly bizarre that it happened to be that episode. Also, there are at least three funeral homes in our town, and the police referred us to Saul’s Funeral Home.
Lastly, was trying to get Frank’s obituary posted correctly. Frank prided himself on having longer hair. He hated his hair really short. Unfortunately, I could not find a suitable picture of him to use with longer hair-none of them captured his great smile. I saw that the obituary had been posted. I had read it a minimum of fifty times before I sent it to make sure there were no errors. My husband was an editor and writer and would be mortified for there to be any mistakes. There was an error that had not been there when I sent it. I guess they type it out themselves. I called to get it corrected, which they apologized and said they would fix it. At that time, I could see Frank’s picture. I checked it again , and they had corrected the error, but now there was a new error. I called yet again, and they apologized and said they would fix it. I went to check it, and that was fixed, but now his picture was missing. I called back and they said they could see the picture. I could not see it. I rebooted our computer and brought the site up. It was not there. I rebooted my kindle and brought the site up and it was not there. I called two friends to check, and they could see his picture. I still could not see it! Hours later, it was finally there. I feel like Frank was trying to tell me he was not happy with the photo selection.
