Rulli's and the Warino Doubles

Denise, I really enjoyed your post about Rulli Brother's. That is one of my favorite stores. I am really excited because they are opening a new Rulli's on South Ave. in Boardman that is just huge. It's suppose to open sometime this month. My father and I would always go to Rulli Brother's after his dialysis treatments. He would buy all the foods that he wasn't allowed to eat and just come home and make a feast. He also had a friend that would pick him up and take him in his wheel chair and they would stroll around Rulli's. One day while I was in Rulli's shortly after my father passed away, I thought Oh I can do this, I have all three of my children with me. When I walked into Rulli's with my three small children (at the time,) and had a major melt down. My poor kids where like "why are you crying? Is it because this store stinks?" I just said "No, I just get so excited to come here!" I then said, "this is probably what Poppie is doing in heaven, just walking through all the "Angels' grocery stores" in heaven. We all laughed and all of a sudden, Dean who was about 5 years old then, said "Hey mom, there's Poppie!" My heart sunk to my stomach, and I said "Dean, Poppie wouldn't be here, he's in heaven." Allyson who was about 9 at the time, shout's out, "Well then this must be heaven on earth, Look!!" I go flying down the aisle chasing this man who looked so much like my father. When I pushed my shopping cart up next to this man, we all just stopped and peeked over, and to our surprise it was
Uncle Blackie!!! The kid's where so excited and I explained what happen, and we all left and went out to lunch with Uncle Blackie. He made our day....
