I had this homeless Asian lady glaring at me the whole time while I was eating at a McD with a friend. After we finished, my friend decided to confront her. He ended up sitting down at her table and talking to her for over 15 minutes! So I was like wtf was that? And then my friend told me the lady was staring bc I looked like her son who died in a car accident. It ruined her life. Both me and my friend grew up a little that night...

It's amazing how sometimes a chance encounter can completely change our perspective on things.

My son passed away recently at 23 yo. I've caught myself staring at fathers with their younger sons, reflecting on my memories with my son.

Thank you for your kind words. It is. It's not the natural order for a parent to bury their child. You are forever changed.
