Good Bye Mom

This brought tears to my eyes, I hope you are as moved as I was:

A young man shopping in a supermarket noticed a little old lady following him around. If he stopped, she stopped. Furthermore she kept staring at him.

She finally overtook him at the checkout, and she turned to him and said, "I hope I haven't made you feel ill at ease; it's just that you look so much like my late son."

He answered, "That's okay."

"I know it's silly, but if you'd call out "Good bye, Mom" as I leave the store, it would make me feel so happy."

She then went through the checkout, and as she was on her way out of the store, the man called out, "Goodbye, Mom."

The little old lady waved, and smiled back at him.

Pleased that he had brought a little sunshine into someone's day, he went to pay for his groceries.

"That comes to $121.85," said the clerk.

"How come so much ... I only bought 5 items.."

The clerk replied, "Yeah, but your Mother said
you'd be paying for her things, too."

Don't trust little Old Ladies!!!

It could bring tears to my eyes, too, considering I'm still paying for my grown children's groceries.!!!

Sorry - it's just what came to mind!

Angeleyes, I think we can learn a lot from this short story. Maybe you could hook up with an old lady and ask her to call you daughter or grand daughter as you walk out. This action would bring the universe back into balance. LOL
