Memory #1
After Ang moved back from Nfld the last time, she was telling me a story one time, when I was over for a visit. She was telling me about how nosey her mom’s neighbours were lol. Her mom had been out for a few hours, and Ang had the house to herself, so she was cleaning and dancing around with the music on, just enjoying herself. Well her mom got a phone call the next day, asking who she had at her house. Then basically her mom got into it on the phone, with these neighbours for “ using their spyglasses “ to snoop on her house, from across the bay lol. Ang was so passionately recreating the whole conversation for me, and her Newfie accent came out strong. Recreating how her mom told them to put their “f*ckin spyglass away!” I had tears of laughter, rolling down my face! Even on one of my last visits with her in the hospital, I told her I’ll never forget the spyglasses story, and even then we had a little chuckle about it. Truly a special memory I have with her.
Memory #2
I’ve always been fascinated by mediums. So when I found out Ang was one, I couldn’t wait to hear the things she had to say. One day we were working together and she started asking me questions. She started describing this guy. I didn’t know who he was. Then she encouraged me very strongly, to try online dating. Something she said she usually warns people against. She insisted that I would meet the man I would spend my life with and described his age, looks, occupation and the fact that he had never been married or had kids, which is somewhat rare. I was very hesitant as that wasn’t something that I ever wanted to try. But she kept on me to try it, so I finally got up the nerve to do it.
I met a few duds first, but then when I started talking to this particular guy, he seemed to fit the description. I sent her a picture and she said “ yup! That’s him!”. Well fast forward, and we just celebrated our ten year anniversary this October. Everything she said came true, except one thing… She insisted that we were going to get married.
Another time, she was looking at me and smiling. I asked her why. She said “I’m just seeing you at your wedding. You look so beautiful” then described my future wedding to me. She insisted that when the time comes, she has to be the one to make my bouquets. I think everyone knows how good she was at doing floral arrangements.
So far we have no plans of marriage. But that is ok, as I have never really planned on getting married. Now Ang isn’t here to make my bouquet. So I am ok if that part of her vision doesn’t manifest. She already had very profound impact on my life. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that I’m never going to get a text message from her again, asking me how I’m doing.
Memory #3
I have taken up a love of baking cakes and cupcakes for special occasions and birthdays, over the past couple of years. Ang asked me if she could try some of my cupcakes, so I brought her some. She absolutely loved them. She insisted my icing was the best (wasn’t really mine, just a recipe I found). From that day on, anytime in the past two years, that I have made cupcakes and birthday cakes, I have brought her over some samples. Even after my grandma’s birthday, I brought Ang over a piece of the cake I made her lol.
After her first heart surgery, I decided that I should make her some cupcakes to lift her spirits. It was also very near her birthday. She loved that I made her some. I was looking forward to making her a bigger and better batch next year, for her birthday…
Angela was always there when I needed her. She always made me feel better, when I was feeling down. I’m going to struggle with not being able to text or call her on a bad day. Thank you beautiful friend, for all your love, support and kindness over the years. I will watch for feathers, to know you are around.
Love you
-Sara
