inkdick: march 20 2009 the old lady’s old photo
It is not like I am trying to look into people’s wallets. It just sort of…happens. Sometimes this unintentional peeking gives me moments like this.
The woman was so quiet and sad. Her hands shook as she handed me her credit card.
EDIT: Amy just told me I used the wrong form of ‘peak’ in this comic. It should be ‘peek’. I need to make her my proof-reader as she has this whole spelling and grammar thing down.

I used to notice the same thing when I worked at a convenience store. I was especially receptive to the date of birth of customers who showed me their ID to buy cigarettes. One guy who would come by several times per week was born on January 1st. He was forever the Happy New Year Birthday boy, and I’d exchange a light smile with him every time he’d have to show his ID, even if I remembered him.

This reminds me of the time I was working the register at A.C. Moore and had to gander at a customer’s ID. (Was paying by check, I believe.) Then I noticed it was her birthday and wished her a happy one. Made her day!

I truly like this comic. A lot of emotions touched me when reading this today. I used to carry a photo of Tetis taken in 1983, which was in my wallet that was burned in the Pentagon on 9-11. Sometimes I wish I had that picture and other times I think I have to live for today. I’m sure there is a happy medium between the two emotions. But, there is nothing like pleasant memories no matter our age.

I love these little moments that make you realize that the strangers around you have lived deep lives that you’ll never know about. I wish senior citizens could blog their lives.
