Mom:
I don’t know about Ireland.

Aunt:
Maybe Kris was from England and he was from Ireland.

Mom:
Perhaps.  Very close to each other.
Why does he say we know why we love lavender?

Aunt:
I don’t know.

Mom:
He speaks in riddles.
England is full of lavender.

Aunt:
Yes, he does.
He is playful.

Mom:
Good, he has a sense of humor.
Aunt:
It is so weird.  Now I can tell when they want to speak and when they don’t.

Mom:
Is this the first big thing like this for you?

Aunt:
No, I’ve done it many times.
If it ever happens to you, you’ll understand the difference in thinking and knowing.

Mom:
Her name was Celtic.  Very hard to pronounce.  I think it starts out as Ana…

Aunt:
Ana something.  Yes.

Mom:
Celtic.  Very ancient.
Aunt:
Analeigh… Ana???

Mom:
Ask him if her name was celtic.

Aunt:
He won’t answer me.

Mom:
Very hard to spell.  Very hard to pronounce.

Aunt:
He has pulled back.

Mom:
Shoot.  He is tired. Kris will wait for him in her dreams and perhaps he will make her understand.  It has haunted her all her life, for 21 years.

Aunt:
He is watching over her.  He will not go away.
“Her spirit is the old one.”
That is what he said.
Mom:
She’s my strange child.  She once asked me when she was small, “Are we real?  Am I really here?” I freaked when she asked me that

Aunt:

SEEEEE

She has come back and she probably was confused. Children know these things.
Mom:

And Patrick was your child.
Aunt:

Yes, he calls me MOTHER
And I just blurted out his name when I was talking to him.  Like I knew it
