I remember walking down this path barely 10 and my taste buds wouldn't hold so I had borrowed my mum's cash and rushed to pick up some apples.

The usual at the grocery was a chubby looking soft spoken lady but this day wasn't obvious, I found Mary her daughter and before I even spoke, she took over "Hey kid, I had reserved the best for you, as smooth as you"... she handed two.

I gave her a big wide smile, she decided I should return with the cash.

Looking back to what she did, now I know Mary loved and cared about me, we just didn't know what that meant.

Now the smiles are partially hidden by masks and we are not carrying cash anymore, for everyone who gave me great smiles... I am keeping them inside until there's nothing else left to remember.

Mary, I hope the love you showed then found a way back to you.
Keep safe!
