You know how you can't seem to digest the moments they portray in mcdonalds tv ads?You probably would say hey bullshit!Mc Donalds isn't really a place you'd picture yourself experiencing a warm fuzzy feeling. But I guess not until today, I realized I was wrong. Both our classes were cancelled today.I was in school already so I got with some of my blockmates who had class earlier and hanged out. After what seemed like hours and hours of bashing people, a nice old lady (Mrs. Carrion) approached us.She said she enjoyed looking at us(oh boy!if she only knew what we were talking about) and thought that we were really enjoying ourselves. She shared to us some tidbits about her being a teacher for 44 years, and her son being a 50 year old bachelor. I was nearest to her so she was touching me.It felt comforting.Both my grandmothers died before I was mature enough to realize the warmth of a grandmother's touch. Her eyes were warm and genuine as if she had lived a good life, a fulfilling one.Technically,she was a stranger but oddly enough, she seemed familiar in some weird way. Before we said our goodbyes she told us to enjoy ourselves especially now that we're young.But something freaked me out. She said goodbye, but retracted and said oh no see you soon. I don't want to think that it was scary, and I don't want to think that she said that and she approached us today because she was about to die. I hope I'm wrong and she does that ever so often. I really hope it's not like that....I really hope not.
