George Spoke to Me From Beyond the Grave
When I was a kid my mom would take me to the boathouse at the beach quite often.
I remember the sounds, the smells, the equipment, and George.
George was about 70 years old.
He had skin like leather and a buckled jaw with large fake white teeth.
He always sported the same baseball cap and had a huge grin on his face.
Everyone knew George because he talked to everybody, but I remember him vividly because of the way he would flirt with mom.
My mom being so friendly was always very kind to him and I guess I got to know him better this way.
Throughout my childhood I would always see him in the same spot, the same lawn chair, just hanging out.
I would sometimes say hello or otherwise just pass by.
On this particular afternoon it was a hot summer day and the beach was jammed.
My friend and I decided we'd had enough and made our way back to my place.
On our way back, I saw George sitting in his chair.
At first I felt awkward, not sure if I should say hello.
As I got closer I turned and made eye contact, that's when he raised his hand and said “Say hi to your mom for me!”.
I smiled, waved and nodded.
My friend and I got back to my place and are grabbing drinks and snacks while my Mom is preparing something in the kitchen.
I turn to my mom and say “George says hi”.
She froze.
“What?” My mom asked.
“George says hi”.
She had a grim look on her face and looked pale.
My friend and I did not know what was wrong.
I asked if she was ok, she responded by saying “That wasn't George.
You couldn't have seen him because he died two weeks ago”.
I sat down immediately, broke down and cried.
It was heartbreaking, but this was out of fear.
Never in my life have I felt this way.
It was so incredibly vivid and seemed surreal.
In the end I guess it was nice to know he was in his happiest place, sitting in his lawn chair, looking out at the water.
Rest in peace George.
