Grief Comes in Waves

Just a moment ago, I saw these two little ladies buying water at an outside vending machine with their cart and their tired eyes. They took a moment and stared at the water, one them rolled their eyes, then one of them said something and then they just started cracking up. Then this idiot just immediately started bawling lol. They reminded me so much of the friendship my mom and mi abuelita used to have... arguing over whether my mom should be wearing her hair down in the heat or if mi abuelita will ever stop cheating in Chinese checkers. Then cue laughter. Grief certainly comes in waves and maybe those waves are completely necessary to remind us that their love is never lost, but can be found in the most unexpected ways. Like via two ladies buying water on the sidewalk. ❤️❤️❤️
