A hug at lunch

The strangest thing happened to me today while I was at lunch.
I had forgotten my cell phone charger this past weekend at Dress for Success when I volunteered. So I thought that I would take a lunch break today and go get it.
On my way back to work I stopped by two places Schlotzsky's Deli and Pet Palace. I picked up my sandwich and walked over to Pet Palace to see if I could find anything for Casper, and I did.

The strange thing is, that while I was there this women was staring at me. She was probably in her late 30s early 40s. Then she started to cry… I thought okay this woman is nuts, like me, right? She said "honey I am so sorry I had to do a double take because I thought you were my sister"… (still crying) "and she passed away." I said oh, I'm sorry. Right then, I thought to myself am I sorry she passed or am I sorry I looked like her to upset this woman so much? Then she said… can I have a hug… and I kind of ummm switched my eyes back and forth with my eyebrows scrutched together and said sure??? (I looked at her like she was crazy) She squeezed me so hard that I thought that she thought that I was her sister. She was really upset. I felt so bad. I still feel bad. I was kind of glad that I was there though too. Oh well, just thought I would share my hugging experience at lunch today...

Such a weird experience. I then thought… man if this was Rachel Clarke she would so not let this woman hug her.

Tah-tah for now.
