What the....

[Diva]

Everyday you walk down the street, get in the car, hop on the train, flag the bus or get stuck in a taxi during peakhour.

Everyday you see something or someone as you pass by. One day, it's gone. Have you ever had that happen to you? Did it bother you enough to check what happened? If you had one thing or person that you looked at every day that would throw you off if it disappeared, what or who was it? I'm not talking buildings, either.

Yeah. There's this old man who always drives up to the donut shop practically every morning. He's always in there when I go to get coffee on the way to school, just reading his paper, drinking coffee, and chatting with the proprietor. I wouldn't have paid that much attention to him, except for when he stands up, he walks with a terrible hunch to his back, and it kinda caught me off guard when I talked to him the first few times. He'd be about 6'4" if he didn't have that bend in his spine...just a tall, old, slow, lanky farmer. If I go in there one day and he's not around, I'm going to be worried.
