This is just too awesome for words. I mean really, really AWESOME!
Dad came home for Christmas yesterday, and today he and mom were walking through the mall. When they passed Carlton Cards (a store my mother never so much as glances at), she heard a male’s voice. She said it was a male voice which said very QUICKLY and very URGENTLY – “Stop!! Phantom!!” Mom immediately stopped in her tracks, grabbed my Dad’s arm and told him she had to go inside that store. (She didn’t want Dad to think she was crazy, so she didn’t tell him just why she wanted to go in). Well, she walked into the store and guess what her eyes fell upon….
A PHANTOM OF THE OPERA Christmas ornament. Lol! (I am obsessed with that story and Gerry Butler's breathtaking performance in that movie. It goes way beyond being a favorite movie to me. It's in my soul! And Patrick must know this - hence his referring to me... via my friend... as "Christine" and now the POTO Christmas ornament he led Mom to today). It plays POTO really loudly, and it lights up. When she took it to the register to pay for it, she was in for another surprise b/c the $28 Phantom ornament rang up as $3.99!!!! What are the chances of a 2006 ornament like that being marked down 24 dollars?! She was going to wait until Christmas to give it to me, but couldn’t wait.
I’m really glad she gave it to me today. I guess Patrick is letting me know that he’s around and has been watching me work on his website.
(As I type, this is the first week I've been working on it).
So now I have even further proof that Patrick is really good at impressing things upon people.
Though this was more than that, as Mom heard his voice this time. |
