I sat in a restaurant at a table just behind my parents. I remember thinking... what is the purpose of me sitting at a separate table? There was a single glass of water in front of me that was covered in condensation. Dad motioned for me to go join them... there was a comfy chair next to their table and as I walked over to sit in it he asked what I thought about leaving. I thought he was referring to my current severance of a friend - and I explained I had to do it and that I had talked to her about it prior and she knew I might have to considering the circumstances. He stopped me and said.... no... about him leaving (again) and asked if I would be upset. Tears started to well up in my eyes as I was struggling to hold back the onslaught of weeping. Of course it'll upset me (devastate me again) I said as the tears started to run down my face. I looked over and saw my Mom's head on his chest as he played with her hair - I can't recall a time in my life that I've ever seen them like that.

I went to return 4 movies that were all about gas masks... I remember on the back of each one of them there as a statement that read "THIS IS NOT AN INDIE MOVIE" - I chuckled to myself.. but then realized that meant they were only 1 day rentals (apparently you can keep indie movies longer) - so I was overdue returning them.
