It reminds me of the time my ex went to the Dairy Queen to get us some treats and came home to tell me a naked man had come in, marched up to the startled clerks, and ordered ice cream. He got served very quickly.........no doubt!<br /><br />I love the tone in this piece - the kindliness......love, especially, the hope one's face does not say too much. I have the kind of face - like my grandma's - that DOES. It is impossible not to know what I am thinking.<br /><br />Wistful and poignant story. Beautifully done.
