Great writing, really enjoyed it and thank you for your effort. It was only a couple of hours ago that I went to my local grocery store and noticed the owner looked more tired than usual so I asked him if he was feeling okay. He said no, and this is why..., in short, he stated much of what you wrote and that explained why he looked and felt weak. Talk about synchronicity.
It's very kind of you to care and ask, I'm sure it meant a lot to him. I'm sure he appreciated it at least as much as I appreciate your comment :)
Synchronicity... that's an interesting thing whe you think about it ;)
