you never forget.

Posted on April 14, 2019 by beth

how fun it was

to see two very different adults

each alone

riding their shopping carts

through the parking lot

one as I made my way into the store

one as I made my way out

both were full of glee.

you never forget.”

I would need a stepladder to get in, a tow truck to lift me out and the jaws of life to separate the cart from my butt.
