In reply to the discussion: Something nice, I think, but a little eerie happened [View all]dixiegrrrrl
(60,010 posts)15. After my mother died
I was visiting her sister, my aunt, to discuss giving her some of my mother's possessions.
We were the only two people in the house.
I smoked at the time but did not light up in my aunt's house, she and her family were non-smokers,
and she was a meticulous housekeeper, the kind of woman who would grab and empty your ashtray after the first flick of ash.
One of the things we were talking about was how my mother would smoke while in the bathroom, and always left a trail of ash, and sometimes a mark of nicotine from her cig, on the bathroom sink. The aunt had mentioned how that used to drive her crazy when she visited my Mom.
A bit later, I used the guest bath.
And there, on the sink, was a trail of fresh cigarette ash.
