Last night I saw Bruce's double
Last night at work there was a guy shopping. I saw him in the corner of my eye. OMG, he looked just like Bruce. so I had to get a closer look. He was in the mens dept. so I got to about 10 feet away. He was a liitle heavier and had a liitle less hair but he looked so much like him. I ran over to my boss. She had never met Bruce as he died before I started working there. I said to her, that guy over there looks just like my husband. She thinks I'm nuts. Its only me and her that work at the store at night and I'm the cashier so when he went to check out I had to do it. I said to him are you all set, he just smiled. When I got closer I thought for sure he's not going to look anything like Bruce close up. Oh I was wrong, he could have been his twin. He had the same smile the same wrinkles at the corner of his eyes. He had a beard and mustache. I couldnt believe what I was seeing. I couldnt Breathe. I always talk to my customers and have become friendly with many of them. But I couldnt even speak to him. My heart was pouding out of my chest. It was exciting and eery at the same time. My daughter came in the store about 10minutes later and I said did you see Bruce. She was like my boss and thought I was crazy. I think if she saw this guy she would have thought he looked just like him too. I hope I get to see him again. I know its not Bruce so dont go thinking I'm losing my mind, but it was exciting seeing his double.

I can believe it.. A few months ago I saw this man going into Home Depot, walking the same way that Jim walked. It was a unique walk. When I got into the store, he didn\'t look anything like Jim, but I felt this warmth watching him walk away... Wishing you the best this weekend, still holding out for some NICE weather... Hugs,
Oh, i would LOve to have this happen to me. I can totally understand your feelings.

I\'ve heard everyone has a twin somewhere and you were fortunate to find Bruce\'s. How do you feel about it now? I think it\'s great because it lifted your spirits. I hope you see him again, too. Sharon
Lori, I had an experience much like that with Steven, my oldest son. My 16 yr. old grand daughter and her boyfriend ask me if I would take them to their friends Funeral (this past Sunday.) My grand daughter had \"dated\" this young man 2 yr. ago for a while. Her present boyfriend did not know her then, and he went to his house all the time. The young man who passed away drowned at a lake near here. Hailee, my grand daughter ask her mother if she would take her and her Mother said NO. It was alright if I did though. Her mother just did not want to take the time to get dressed and fool with it. (That is a whole other story and I do not like it.) I got a sympathy card, and wrote all our names on it. I told her I was Hailee\'s grandma, and that I had lost both of my sons and my step daughter, and that I believed that God let this happen to me so I could reach out and maybe help just 1 grief striken person.I ask Hailee to read it and ask her if it was ok to give it. Hailee said \"You did great Grandma, I am proud of you.\" I warned the kids that if I got up and slipped out, not to come after me, or not to worry. I told them if I was getting too upset,I would wait outside. We were sitting near the back. A couple came in late, and I am glad I was sitting, because this man looked so much like my son,Steven that I freaked. He had long hair,down almost to his waist; and it was salt and prpper and in a braid likd Steven always wore when her went somewhere. My Dad was 1/4 Cherokee Indian. Steven inhereted his dark eyes, hair and skin. Steven in the summer was darker than many black or racialy mixed people.Lori, Haillee did not see him, or maybe just did not notice. Hailee never cried in front of a bunch of people. Hailee barely cries if it is just us. She was crying Sunday. I did not leave the service and I watched for this man to walk past me again. He was shorter. Steven was 6ft 2 in. It was just so strange. It was so like Steven, but then it did not feel like Steven. I did not get thr vibes or the what ever you want to call it. The resemblence was so wierd. I get it girl! Love Peggy
