Aruba, Jamaica….

Oooo I wanna take you. More on that in a bit.
Martin and I were out shopping today. He wanted to get me some stocking stuffers. I was hungry but didn’t want mall food. Then I remembered that Cosimo’s is in the Sarasota Square mall now too so I got all excited! They have a happy hour and food I like. So I told Martin to take his time because I would be just fine in Cosimos on my own, I know the bartender. :-D

I am sitting there thinking about missing Muck, but then I remembered that he’d be off with Martin anyway and I’d still be on my own even if Muck was still here. Holiday crisis averted. ;-) As I’m sitting there realizing this, Jason Mraz’s song “I’m Yours” comes on. A song Muck sent us after he crossed. So I thought how sweet, he’s letting me know he’s with me as well as Martin this day. I’m sitting there moving to the groove of the song enjoying the words and music. LOVE that Jason Mraz! The next song on was Train’s “Calling All Angels.” Love that song too, that has been my battle cry for the past few years, I NEED A SIGN!

There were songs that came on that I had sent to Martin when he was living in Ireland. It was really nostalgic sitting there listening to these songs even bringing me back to BM, “Before Muck” days. In between listening I was texting Elatia making plans for dinner tonight so I don’t think anything of it when the Beach Boys’ song Kokomo comes on. No connection to that song…so I thought.

As I’m sitting there texting and eating, I only hear “Pretty Mama” in the song, it’s like everything else faded away. I perk up and this wave of Andrew’s energy hits me as I feel him and hear him saying “Pretty Mama.” I’m sitting there trying to fight back the tears and snotters when Martin comes in and as I try to tell him, while all choked up, what I was hearing, I hear as the song fades to the last words “C’mon Pretty Mama.” It was pretty cool. I know without a doubt Andrew was letting me know he was right there with me. While it’s not the same as his hugs and kisses, I felt his energy and I’ll take it!

IT’S ALL GOOD!
