Simple little story but very true.
When we were married my mother bought a beautiful brass clock as a wedding present.
It was a mantel clock beautifully engraved and worked on batteries.
Hubby loved this clock and cleaned the brass regularly,so it shone.
The batteries usually lasted a year. The day after he passed,it stopped.
Batteries had just been replaced a few days before. I took them out thinking perhaps they were duds and replaced them with two new batteries again.
The clock refused to go,went out and bought new batteries.
Still the clock would not work so took it down to the jewelers.
It was checked and he said there was nothing wrong with the clock.
I gave up and left it,leaving it where it stood on top of the unit.
A year later on the anniversary of his death,I happened to look up at it and there it was ticking away!
Same batteries from a year ago!
Could be a coincidence,I really don't know.
