Rona story - a bit sad. Elderly school crossing guard.
I would see him every morning, reflective vest, sitting in his car and getting out when someone needed crossing during rush hour. March, 2020, schools closed. I would drive by in the mornings and he would still be there sitting in his car, His vest would be on or laying on the dashboard. I wouldn't see him out of the car because there was nobody to help cross.
None of the other school crossing guards that I passed during my morning drive were at their posts.
But it was his post and he was there every morning until June.
Come September, he didn't return. I guess he finally realized there was no reason to.
Two weeks ago, school reopened. He was back at his post. I opened my car window and shouted that it was good to see him back, He responded with a big smile and wave.
The world felt a little bit better.
