It Began With Green Nail Polish

(Family Video store, Cindy at the counter, Nov 2017)

Pretty nails!

Thank you.

Where do you get them done?

I go back to my hometown Portage, WI, every two weeks and get them done.

Wow, that is a long way to go!

I pick up my mom, she is almost blind and it gives my dad a break and we go to the nail salon together.

(I am awed…amazed…curious)

How old are you?

21.

They obviously broke the mold when they made you…you are really something!

Well, my parents and grandparents aren’t going to be around forever.

I am proud of you.

Thank you.

I am a mom and gramma too, so I appreciate what you are doing very much.

Well, I hope your family treats you special too.

Oh, now I’m going to cry.

Aw, well have a nice day!

Bye.

Bye.

Back to my car…tears on my cheeks!

(I did not know this gal, just read her name tag….but her kind words took me up and beyond for hours!)
