    I LOVE this. Some, ok, most people are so self involved these days, they never take the time to get to know the stories of the people in their lives...how sad. They miss out on so much.

    I'm sure a lot of the people you see on the streets were once more influential than they are today.

    Great microfiction.

    Thanks Jim

    Glad you enjoyed it Ron.

    Quite right Lisa

    So pleased you like it Mama Zen :)

    Me too Linda

    Things didn't quite go her way Shrinky!

    Yes she is, at first sight Kim

    One never knows what went on in the past just by looking at people, does one Kay?

    Indeed we do Elaine!

    I thought so too Pat

    She could be Grandma!

    Funny how we dismiss the aged out of hand, never imagining that in their youth they were giants...
