Goodbye?

            This week it was pretty cold when I arrived at my location. I noticed the parking lot was a little empty when I got here. I wasted no time getting my food and finding my seat. In the restaurant today is the girl I have seen working the counter. There is also a man and woman sitting with two kids, a boy and a girl. The kids and the mother look sad, I can see their faces. I’m assuming they are family. I can’t see the fathers face. The girl is teenaged and has her arms crossed. Also in the room is what looks like a couple with a teenage boy. The boy is too old to be their kid, and the couple looks too old to be parents, anyway. The three of them are all talking and laughing together. Also in the restaurant is an elderly couple. The man has grey hair and glasses, while the woman also has glasses, she is carrying an oxygen tank as well. They are holding hands and talking to each other. As time goes by I have finished my meal, and the older woman goes to the restroom. The woman with the two kids also goes to the restroom as well. As the mother goes to the restroom, I noticed the father talking to the two kids and shaking his head, while the children’s expressions do not change. While they are gone another family walks in. This family consists of two parents and two boys. One of the boys is actually taller than the rest of his family, while the other boy is actually really short and small. They both seem to be rather young. They all take their time at the counter and then stand and wait for their food. Now the older woman is coming out of the bathroom. Her and her husband are now leaving the restaurant, quietly making their way out the door. From my seat I can see them walk to their truck, and the old man helping his wife into the cab. The mom that went into the restroom emerges from the bathroom a few minutes later. The family with the two boys are now eating and talking to each other. They are talking about several sports the boys play. Apparently between the two they play soccer, football, and basketball. The younger boy has just had a soccer game that his team won. The father of this family seems strict, as he is continuously telling both the boys to eat instead of talk. The couple with the teenage boy seem to be finished with their meal and are preparing to leave. As they are leaving and walking outside I notice that they have all stopped at a truck in the parking lot. They are standing their talking to each other. Now the oldest boy in the family with the strict dad is laughing loudly, and even his parents join in. I think they are laughing at something the youngest boy did or said. The family with the son and daughter are still sitting down waiting for the son to finish eating. A few minutes go by and the couple is still outside talking to the teenage boy. A little while later the couple take turns hugging the teenage boy, and the couple drives away. The boy walks away and I’m assuming he also leaves. Soon after the family with the teenage girl and boy leave, the mom being the first one out the door. Now the family with the two boys and I are the only customers left. I decide to leave as two men walk in talking loud and laughing with each other.
