I want to be like YOU!

When I was younger my Grandfather and I -- because I had no father -- would take me out places. One of my favorites was when he would take me to Wendy's. We would get our Wendy's meals and then go next door to target and sit in the parking lot. We would eat our chicken burgers and fries ( I of course got the same meal as he did everytime, I wanted to be just like him). We ate the outside first then worked our way to the middle of the burger; "that's the best part," my grandpa always said, "Save it for last!." So I copied him. I saved the center for last, and I refused from then on to drink my pop with a straw. While sitting there eating Wendy's we would watch the people coming out of Target and guess what car was theirs. Most of the time we were right on target, but sometimes people would surprise us. We would laugh, and bet with eachother, and we had made it a habit to come out at the minimum, once a week.
Now we're both older. I have a fiance, and he had a stroke, which affected the whole right side of his body. He was no longer allowed to eat this kind of food. At least not as much as we did. Slowly we stopped going all together. Juggling family, college, and a fiance is hard to manage.
Every so often I think back to all the fun times we had and all the moments shared together. Sometimes I wish I could turn back time and do it again. But I can't and I've learned to cherish these moments I've had in the past and savor the one's in the present.
