Well today I was working the expo. I had mixed feelings because while I enjoy that kind of stuff, I’m an introvert. And this year I led the whole thing … for our booth anyways.
As luck would have it, I see a lady standing in our line, coming one step closer to take her turn at the can smash.. In an instant.
Me: Janelle?
Janelle: Yes. Who are you?
Me: I’m gonna cry. I’m Jill. I remember your sweet mamma.
Janelle: Yes! Of course I know you.
And we hugged. And it was like yesterday. Sitting in her living room watching our parents sing.
She tells her friend how our parents were in a Czech choral group but also my dad and her mom were somehow related. A common thread was their grandma with 21 children. Lol.
The human connection. Now my eyes are leaking. I miss my parents. If you’re lucky enough to have them and the relationship is good, maybe you could give them a call?
As always more to come.
