I used to think she was boring for getting excited about normal things.

Then I realized normal things are exactly what I miss too.

Mom, I noticed her mother one day in the waiting area.

She had bought a coffee and forgotten to drink it.

She kept watching every person who came out of the elevator.

I knew what she was doing because I’ve seen you do the same thing.

I thought, That woman is scared for her daughter just like my mom is scared for me.

My throat closed.
