When I came home this evening and, talking to my wife, relayed the details around my conversation with my mother and learning of my father having been a twin, something pretty wild happened. When I told her what his sister's name was, she gasped, stepped back and had goose bumps raise on her arms. She explained to me that just yesterday, while watching our daughter playing in the park, she suddenly thought, regarding her name, "she'd have been a good 'Amelia'"! She even said she ran the name repeatedly through her head... "Amelia"... "Amelia"... "Amelia"... pretty freaky. Makes you wonder about the timing and coincidence.
By the way, we'll be open for palm readings this weekend, and all forms of payment will be accepted.
