2009-Apr-24 - Warmth in winter |
Denver very cold morning, so that the most suitable for the weather to stay at home for a cold, and then a bowl of hot soup waiting for her mother. Of course, listening to news all day, imagine themselves trapped by the storm is not bad. On this day too.
However, I would like to happen to this day Convention Center in Denver speech to hundreds of people, these people like me, not because of a cold such as nasal obstruction mother stay at home on the hot side. I have a wireless microphone because I was lazy and less of a battery installed. To make matters worse, I even forgot to bring a back-up battery. Have no choice, I had to put up the collar, and into the cold windto ordinary thin line to buy shoes and batteries.
Every step, strong winds have thin right trouser leg to the trailer behind. This fabric is not warm, if the mother knew that I dress this way, she certainly will not let me out the door.
I have a home not far from the corner to see the 7-11 convenience store, as long as I can go quickly to relax the pace, I can not breathe the atmosphere to reach the shops in front of you to avoid lung irritation cold. Convenience stores, there are two people. People who stand behind the counter, wearing a work license, she is called Roberta, maybe she would like to stay at home for the children on the hot side, said some comforting words. However, she has almost no one in the center of Denver, standing sentinel over the business day, the weather in such a small number of people to go out, she is like a haven.
Another come from the cold is a tall old man, he seems to, a little shop door step in no hurry. I can not help but think that old people are not crazy is lost, or who will go out in this weather, to 7-11 to buy things?
I am too busy to care about the elderly, I just need a battery, but also hundreds of important people waiting for me back to the center, we still have a lot of things to do.
But I do not know how the elderly than that counter, I stood back, Roberta grin, he, Roberta picked up the little things he bought, the price into the cash registers, God! Denver into the old cold morning, even just for a small cake and a banana, how not worth it!
If only for a small cake and a banana, one in their right mind would wait until the good weather to walk the streets again to buy goods, which are not, he pulled the snow in the wind to his old bones to top cruise 2009 take to the streets, as if if there is no tomorrow. Perhaps he really did not tomorrow, after all, he is very old.
End node Roberta account, the elderly bony hand into the pocket in search of raincoats. Hurry up, I think you may be time for a whole day loitering, but I still have a lot of things to do this!
The elderly, he finally took out a with the same old zero-purse, leaving the counter a few coins and a wrinkled one dollar bills.
These little things into a plastic bag, the wonderful thing happened.elderly, skinny tired hands slowly into the counter, trembling at first, and then stabilize. Roberta gently into a plastic bag hung in the elderly wrist. Roberta smiled.
She tired old hands around the two, on the face of thermal cover, from top to bottom.
The elderly and then catching her scarf hand, when the scarf fell almost to his shoulders, and she put a scarf around his neck, the elderly stillonlyfixed, it seems to at this time condensation in his memory.
Roberta also help the elderly to wear a button, and then looked at the eyes of the elderly, it seems that half-jokingly used the tone of reproach him Mr. Johnson, you have to be careful, oh.
She paused, then said earnestly Tomorrow we see you again.
Old people have heard the last few words, the body can not help trembling a moment, he hesitated and then turned, walked slowly to one foot out, talk to on the other foot, once again set foot on a cold morning in Denver.
Then I finally understood that he came here not lv monogram vernis for a small cake and a banana, but in order to obtain the warmth of the hearts.
I said wow! Roberta, this customer is really special you! That is your neighbor or your uncle it?
Roberta a bit angry, because I thought she was only to provide special services in particular. In fact, she is concerned, everyone is special. |
