When my Mom and I went out to Target Wednesday (which I am still recovering from!). I wrote about how we saw my friend and former colleague, Mr. Wright. He looked sun-kissed! I asked him where he went because I knew he had to have gone somewhere warm. He always did that during the breaks when we worked together. He told me that he went to Las Vegas.
I smiled because that sounded like a place he would go! He told me he came back after they took all of his money! Right after I smiled and told him that he looked sun-kissed, he in turn looked at me and said, “And you look so white!” As a Mexican person, I don’t think I’ve ever really hear that! I just started to laugh because I didn’t want to be a downer and tell him that I really haven’t seen the light of day outside for pretty much two years!
I hide from the sun so much now that I can’t ever imagine being sun-kissed again! I so much enjoyed seeing him though! We slid back into an easy conversation as if we saw each other every day like we used to do when we worked together! It really made me think about and miss all my former colleagues! We. (the OG’s) were a really close knit group! I am basically a shut-in now.
Mr. Wright hugged me and my Mom upon greeting and again when we parted ways. He smelled really good, like he always did! I enjoyed that smell every time I turned my head to the right for the whole time we were at Target and for the rest of the day!
