Memories of Home
Special events will always remain special.
The church hall was always pristine, the people gathering there for a free meal were anything but. They patiently shuffled along from station to station, trays in hand collecting a warm meal. The woman in front of Jack tripped on the partially detached sole of her shoe and fell to the floor. Immediately, Jack reached to help her up and saw her face for the first time.
“Becky? Is that you?”
“Jack, oh my! Senior prom was the last time.”
“Yes, you’re right. Let’s get our food and catch up.”
“But I’m such a mess.”
“You’re still beautiful to me.”
