Steve, in the midst of all your grief you’ve probably made each of those people’s days at least a little bit better, maybe even restoring their faith in the fundamental goodness of humanity. That’s not nothing.
That was great, which seems like a callous thing to say when the subject is the author's broken heart, but I know you get it. The writing was great, as was your acknowledgement of the human dignity of every individual you encountered throughout your day -- even when they appeared to have forgotten it themselves. (As we all often do.)

I appreciate that, Mick. I try very hard to be friendly and kind to everyone I can, and to make them laugh whenever possible.
For a moment, anyway, it makes me feel better, too.
This was beautiful, Steve! One of your best.
God speaks in little things. Thanks for reminding me in such a special way.
Praying for you, brother.
going through a time too. This was a balm to my soul and out came the kleenex! Beautiful. THANK YOU!
So glad to hear it!
Well written! This was good!
“HUG!” she proclaimed.
Just like my granddaughter. Hugs and hugs and more hugs. Simply beautiful.
I grew up in the NC mountains. They're breathtakingly beautiful. If you ever get a chance, check out the Blue Ridge Parkway over that way.
Well, darn it, you went and made me cry. Again.

Thank you.
I do get it. Thank you.
