The Squeaky Wheel

In 2018 I tried to get in touch with Judy by calling her sister Beverly Kelly. She said she would give Judy my number, and so I waited. In the meantime I was busy moving to a new apartment in Indiana.

At the same time in 2018, I was offered and accepted a new job back in Utah, where I first met Judy. There were a lot of activities involved with moving into a new apartment and learning a new job. By 2020, I regained possession of old pictures from my daughter, who also lives in Utah. Judy’s picture was one of them.

This will sound bizarre, but I became overwhelmed with a desperate need to send Judy's picture back to her. I felt obsessed with the idea. I felt Judy’s presence all the time, and I didn’t understand what was happening.

I used a paid internet search service to find that Judy had already passed away, among other things.   But, I still felt so desperate to return Judy’s picture to her. It was as if Judy’s spirit wanted me to do something with her picture, but I didn’t know what.

So, I studied Judy’s obituary website for several days. At some point, I became aware that I could upload her picture there. The instant I uploaded Judy’s younger picture, the insane desperation to return her picture vaporized.

A burden was lifted from me that day. Every now and then I think about this odd experience. This was what Judy wanted me to do and now she is happy and at peace. I truly believe Judy sees herself young again and wants everybody else to remember her that way.
