I went to dine alone at a fancy restaurant. I got a table near a window with a view. Soon after, a server came asking if I’d move to a table near the kitchen, so they could combine mine with another to fit a family. I politely declined. The server looked tense but said, “OK.”…
I asked her if she had anything other than milk and water to drink. She told me there was a Coke in the crisper drawer… to which I discovered an 80’s relic.
My adult son passed away in March 2019. Fast forward to December. A young woman he had mentored contacted me and asked for my address. I thought maybe she wanted to send a card, therefore I gave it to her. A week later, she contacted me again and revealed that she had something very important…
