When I came in to Starbucks this afternoon, Hendra's cute little girlfriend ran over to meet me, took hold of my hand, and escorted me about to present me to her family and find me a seat. It really reminded me of my stepdaughter's exuberance back in the olden days. I suppose that she is still so. I just haven't seen her in so long. But there is really nothing that can compare to the warmth a woman can show. Hendra joined us in due time and we shared the usual laughter and jokes. They're such a pleasant young couple--very much in love--which also reminds me of olden times, just watching their interaction, their brief little intimacies between episodes of poking and teasing. It doesn't take much to kindle the fire of old memories. It doesn't take much at all.
