3 Sad Moments...
1. The last time my mom and I went to visit my grandma at the nursing home. I went ahead of my mom down to grandma's room and found her laying in her bed, her eyes weren't tracking and she was unresponsive. We then waited for the ambulance to take her to the hospital where she departed this weary world and went to Heaven. It happened 23 years ago but I still remember that day. I still miss her terribly.
2. I don't know if this is more scary or sad or a makes-me-mad moment. I was working at General Motors inbetween college sememsters. There was a very inappropriate older guy who worked in another part of the plant. He was creepy. You know the type, right? The kind of guy my 21-year old self shied away from. He just gave me the heebie jeebies.
I got put on 3rd shift for a period of time. It was awful. I am much more a morning gal and NOT a night owl. Let me say it again - I am not a night owl and I was working third shift.
One night I was sitting in the break room minding my own business when in walked the creepy dude.
He walked over to me and said something about how sweet I was and then he leaned in and creepily kissed me. ON THE LIPS! It was awful. For the whole 0.3 seconds it lasted, I felt so violated. It has taken me some time to realize that I didn't do anything to encourage him. He was just plain icky. I knew I could not go to Human Resources because I was a temp and I needed the job to pay for college. He would not get in to trouble because he had union backing. I didn't say a word. I did, however, rejoice exceedingly when creepazoid got moved to another shift and far away from yours truly. I got moved to another department and another shift.
What an awful way to "spend" your first kiss on some creepy old dude!!!
3. Saying "goodbye." Every goodbye breaks my heart and makes me want to become anti-social and not let anyone else in...but I do. The Bible says to be hospitable. Part of being hospitable is inviting people in and sharing a part of yourself.
