Magic, Irritability, and Alice

TingyMoii: dude i feel like i havent seen you for a long time

Sadly, I get that a lot. Magical disappearing me, haha.

I feel terribly irritable. I don't know why. Maybe it's bottled-up emotions that I am unaware of. Mrs. Carlson says the reason old Chinese ladies are so crabby all the time is because when they were younger, they had to repress their anger and hurt. Then when they're older, they tend to like let it all out at once. By yelling and arguing about everything. My gramma's kind of like that...then I wonder what kind of childhood she had then.

And I just received some sad news. I found out that Alice died a couple days ago...from old age. So sad though. Alice is one our donut shop's long-time customers. She came almost everyday, usually in the afternoons, with her husband Earl. They were old. Like nearing 100 years old. As far as marriages and relationships go, their's was one that I want to have. They had been married around 70 years. Sometimes I go to the donut shop in the afternoons; in fact, I saw them together just before spring break, and they would be holding hands on their way into the shop. And then again, they're so old, maybe they needed to lean on each other for support. But either way, it just touches me to see that love really can last that long. I mean, seriously. 70 years and still holding hands? Wow. And I was a firsthand witness. Lucky huh. God bless that family.

I guess I'm not that irritable anymore.
