We love this Korean natural foods store a block away from us. The woman who owns it pampered me when I was pregnant, cheered whenever I had a book coming out, and absolutely doted on our son. She always gave him a banana for a treat. Even after he left for college, she asked about him with real interest. So today, Max came to dinner and he went in to say hi. She cried! She hugged me and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing him by." I am sitting here radiating joy.
