   comments from our readers each week. Send your story to newsletter@tias.com.   
      
   Here's a "haunted" story from Sheila A:   
      
   I was arranging to pick up an item I had purchased on ebay from a local   
   seller.  When I spoke to her by phone, she indicated she was sorry for the   
   delay in responding to me, but she had just lost her mother.  Having lost mine   
   also, I understood the anguish that comes after the death of one so dear.    
   When she composed herself a bit, I asked her to share her favorite "Mom   
   Story".  We each related a story about a special moment we had shared with our   
   mothers, and the conversation ended with both of us in good spirits, looking   
   forward to exchange of the purchased item over coffee the following Saturday.   
      
   After hanging up the phone, I walked through my living room.  A Herman Miller   
   mantle clock I had given my mother years ago sits on a shelf there - it   
   requires batteries which I had neglected to replace, so it hadn't been working   
   for some time.  As I looked up at the clock, it started to chime !  I guess   
   Mom was voicing her approval of our conversation! ! !
