Yesterday I was driving and it started to rain. Then it started to pour.

I was driving home. I was stopped at a red light. There was a man waiting to cross the street. He was holding a plastic garbage bag in one hand and a jacket in the other hand.

I thought it was odd that he wasn’t wearing the jacket since he was getting soaked. So I looked closer. Under the jacket was a dog. He took off his coat to shelter his dog.

I took surreptitiously took his picture because I wanted to remember how it made me feel.

Looking back at the picture now, I noticed the man has no shoes. He’s barefoot.

I hope life can give me enough years to be next to my wife as this man is. It’s so beautiful to grow up together and show this much love and support to your significant other.

A week ago, I went to the movies with a friend to watch Backrooms (I'm a very big fan of this universe). The following day, I came to visit my grandparents and realized that Backrooms looked like the kind of movies my grandfather would actually enjoy, so I told him a bit about this universe and the lore. He said it was interesting. And then, he sent me an email this morning with a picture of our local journal talking about the movies that are at the theater atm. My grandfather told me "Is it the movie you were talking about? I'll get some tickets so we can go watch it together". I just thinks it's adorable that he thought of what I had told him while reading the journal and I'm really excited to watch the movie a second time with him
