Email from the afterlife

[dwarven1]

OK, we've all seen the jokes about the guy who misaddresses an email and it looks like the pastor's wife gets an email from "somewhere really hot".

I just got the dickens scared out of me when I received an email from my uncle's email address. Now, Uncle Bob died several months ago and I deleted his email address from my address book. But it's pretty distinctive - Groucho75@whatever it is - so when I just got an email from that address with the subject "reconnection" I just about freaked!

Turns out that my Aunt Millie just got her computer working again and is using Uncle Bob's account. She just wanted to let folks know that she was online again.

But for one brief instant there...

Funny, but if anyone could send email from the afterlife, I figured that it would be Uncle Bob's older brother - my father. Someone who truly fit the description "renaissance man": engineer (in multiple disciplines), mathematician, watchmaker, machinist, mechanic, piano tuner, player piano rebuilder, author, teacher... the only things dad couldn't fix were a soap bubble and a broken heart.

I still miss him.

Yea, that would freak me out.

For us what freaks us out,our brother in law has a identical twin. Our brother-in-law passed away 3 years ago. Every so often we run into his twin,we do a double take. They even sound the same. It's creepy for us,probably even creepier for him.
