Today I saw a man in CVS who looked so similar to John that it was uncanny! Except for the fact that he was black. But really, he looked like my John Boy! He was tall and lanky. His face was quite similar to John’s. And he had the sweetest disposition. He was very friendly and well-mannered. And as Elizabeth noted, he was curious just like John Boy. His mannerisms were akin to John’s.
There was one big difference between John and this gentleman, though. The man that I saw in CVS was special. It was not severe mental retardation. Mild, I would guess.
I told him that he reminded Elizabeth and me of John. He said, “Well, thank you, pretty ladies. Have a nice summer. Have a nice everything. Once upon a time.”
I fell in love with him.
