Carrie and I were going to the Kobe Japanese Steakhouse in Brandon to celebrate our 36th year anniversary together. We made a quick shopping stop at Burlington Coat Factory. It was our first time there. Standing in the check out line in front of us was a well dressed lady. She turned and was looking at us when she asked, “Do you work at Hamburger Mary’s in Ybor?” I smiled and said, “Yes I do!”
The lady went on to say, “Aren’t you Tea Cup? You were our bartender. We had such a great time with you. We were celebrating our 26 anniversary that night.” Carrie & I both smiled and said,”Yes, that was me and we are celebrating our 36th Anniversary today.”
She went on to say, “I will never forget how much fun we had together that night. It was our very last date together. The next day he had a massive stroke and passed away by the end of the week. You were our angel that night.”
WOW… what do you say to that?!?!?!?!? We told her that we were very sorry for her loss. What a coincidence to run into her at that Brandon store.
