I decided to walk, instead of taking my car, to buy some snacks from the convenience store two blocks down from my house. A police station is across from the convenience store and I watched children in various costumes asking for treats from the police officers dressed up as dogs and a shark.
It was at that moment, while feeling the cool breeze of the evening air that I realized how much I wished I had a “Shiori” right next to me. To have someone by my side, excited about the Halloween festivities. To dress up in costumes we picked out for each other and walk among the people, perhaps carrying a bag of candy to hand out to the children passing us by. To talk endlessly with someone and know they cherished me and found me important.
Instead of me simply going about today, as if it was just any other ordinary day.
