Can you explain this one?

Cuz I sure can't! I just find it pretty incredible. And maybe a little disconcerting.............

So here's the deal.............

We live up here in the Northwest Corner of Ohio (10 minutes from the Michigan line. 1/2 hour from the Indiana line). My Aunt Lydia Smitley died last week. Her funeral was on Monday.

My Aunt Dot lives in Corydon, Indiana, which is right across the border from Louisville. Not even close to us!

Aunt Dot and Aunt Lydia were as tight as any two sisters could ever be. They were only 10 months apart in age. So Aunt Dot came home for the funeral. She left on Tuesday to go back to Corydon. When she got just outside of Corydon, she stopped at a gas station for fuel. She went in to pay. She gave the guy her money and he handed her back her $19.00 in change (I think it was like $21 and she gave him two $20 dollar bills). Anyhow, when she got her change, she noticed that one of them had some writing on it. So she took it out to her to see what it said. Someone had written on it that you should sign this bill with your name and location and then pass it on. Only a few people had signed it. But guess who one of them was! You got it! Lydia Smitley from ourtown, Ohio.

So how likely is it that Aunt Dot, who was grieving the loss of her baby sister, would drive over 5 hours away, stop at a gas station and get change, and in that change would be a dollar bill signed by that baby sister?

Co-incident? I don't know.

Of course, Aunt Dot is taking it as a sign from Aunt Lydia that she's ok where she's at. I don't think I can quite buy that. But on the other hand, it's still kind of freaky.

What do you think?
