A Visit From Ruth

Ruth T. was the mother of my best friend, Dean and thus a friend of mine.
She was in her 70's and in great health for a lady her age.
One day she had a fall at Dean's house and she was taken by Dean and Judy to the hospital to get checked out. To make a long story short, one moment she was with us, smiling and talking and the next moment she was gone.
I happened to call Dean and Judy that day and Judy gave me the news. I got in my car and drove to their house about an hour away to comfort Dean. There was a short Memorial Service the next day for Ruth.
Not many days later after Ruth had been laid to rest in California, I was walking around my house doing some chores and getting ready to have a shower. As I was coming out of the kitchen, I suddenly felt a distinct presence in the Living Room.
I looked for something to cover up with (since I was naked at the time).
The presence felt familiar, like it was Ruth.
I heard a whispered embarrassed chuckle and then the presence was gone.
What a time to get a visit from a ghost.
