While I wait for the bus at night I encounter all kinds of interesting characters. Tonight my heart went out to a very sweet elderly lady in a long pink skirt with a blankie wrapped around her neck and a pink bow in her hair. She approached me quietly asking something about shoes. I didnt hear her clearly and asked if she needed shoes. She gently sat down and pulled some dress heals out of her purse presenting them to me and asking softly if I had a quarter. I didnt have a quarter so I gave her a dollar. She tried to give me the shoes but they were much too big for me so I told her to keep the dollar and give the lovely shoes to someone who fit them. She peeked at me from behind her blanket sheepishly with wide wondering eyes as we continued a friendly conversation and she spoke in gentle whispers like a shy little girl. Her eyes lit up excitedly when I mentioned I have two cats. She really likes animals. Then she wandered away. It seemed like she had some kind of dementia. Shell soon forget me, but Ill always wonder what was the story behind the sweet lady with the pink bow in her hair...
