“I love it when they’re soggy,” I said. “You know, a little chewy from the juice of the tomato, or the cold cuts, or whatever you put on.” I was talking, of course, about the rolls. One hand on the steering wheel, the other on an aluminum-foil-wrapped “Brötchen,” as we call them in Germany, my friend agreed – and sunk his teeth into the delicious mix of dough and salami.
I liked the way I was sucked into your moment of remembrance… it felt like I was there with you and your friend!
Fabulous.
Then, I was reminded of one my moments (which I wrote about in Medium) that brought me peace in the midst of my grief. It was a scene in Longmire - a TV series I thoroughly enjoyed - where Walt Longmire states his version of an Epictetus quote: “Man makes his own destiny through his choices and his values.” The details from that memory helped me create a new destiny by choosing happiness over sadness; to live the rest of my days joyfully and full of wonder.
Thank you, Nik, for a delightful story. Today’s gift of joy!
Greatfulness thank you for the reminder
