The Flower

Before we moved into a new house in October 2013, we lived in a condo in a bad part of town.

Autumn (or Sister) called it "Condo Apartments" for the 2 years we lived there.

In the second year we lived there our Aunt Jamie died (B-T-Dubs Aunt Jamie didn't lived with us) in September. We were all pretty sad but we moved on, but Autumn didn't.

At the funeral, a man (probably Aunt Jamie's relative) gave Autumn a rose. He said that if Autumn kept the rose, the spirit of Aunt Jamie would still be on Earth. I thought it was a bunch of baloney but Autumn was convinced. She pinned the rose to her wall for months.

After the funeral and Autumn's rose-pinning, Autumn had been hearing noises when she was trying to sleep at night.

Autumn thought the condo was haunted, but then she said Aunt Jamie was trying to communicate with us.
I was about to laugh in her face when she said that, but the look on Autumn's face was so serious. Autumn actually believed Aunt Jamie was trying to talk to us.

Every week after that, Autumn brought Lil Bro and I to try to talk to her.
I was annoyed with it after the first week.
But one week, Autumn was doing the communication thing...

And all of a sudden, a cup by her bed (when Autumn gets thirsty during the night, she drinks water by her bed) fell off and splashed every where.

I was totally convinced Aunt Jamie's spirit was in the flower when that happened.

Eventually, Autumn moved on and threw the flower away (you might think that was rude, but she made an entire ceremony of that). But to this day, I still don't know if I will see the flower again, or whether Aunt Jamie is still watching us.
