The Brief Encounter Yesterday
Author: siggyHe was smiling and bubbling over. He was a man I met in the aisle of the local supermarket. I noticed he had a false leg but that did not deter him. We had a brief conversation and I left him with a “God bless!” And before that I told him he had a choice to feel sorry for himself or make the best of it. I no longer remember my exact words. I later saw him near the checkout counter. Then I realized he had two artificial legs. His smile never left him. He brightened up my day.
