💔 Grocery store conversations.

I just had one of those innocent conversations with a grocery store checker at Safeway that I see all the time that just wouldn’t end. It somehow led to “She was 14.” And “She took her own life.” And now I’m sitting in the parking lot crying. He lost a son too. At 19. To a long term illness. His wife made a t-shirt quilt out of his t-shirts, like I’m going to have made for Sage. He was very kind. It just blind sided me. I should be planning her birthday party this week. Fuck.
