I think I see a light

Hey

I met a friend for lunch yesterday.

Outside.

In the sun.

Surrounded by (socially distanced surrounded by) others enjoying the same.

Elderly woman was waiting a bit.

Masked.

Enjoying warmth.

When another elderly woman showed up with a bouquet of flowers.

They embraced.

And then oohed and ahhhed over the flowers.

And then they caught up like long lost friends.

I couldn’t help but watch the whole interaction.

Another table had nanny (presumably)(because she said let’s take a selfie for mommy. But could be aunt. Or BFF. Or partner. But whoever it was...) two year old boy donned in superhero gear and Nana.

“Look nana. We chooses a table with a big brella. It’s blue “

“Look nana at my big bagel”

“Look nana at my blue shirt . It’s like the blue brella and blue sky”

This went on and on with Nana delighted by each observation, chiming in with nana-isms of love.

I couldn’t help but watch the whole interaction.

A birthday gathering happened.

A solo lunch by a woman and her laptop.

Two teenaged girls.

I couldn’t help but watch the interactions.

Because it was heartwarming.

And so endearing.

And so amazingly freakin’ normal.

The light is coming

Hang on a bit longer ....
