Over the past month, 2 pieces have been removed from the route I take most often through town. There's a little home with an over sized carport & wheel-chair ramp. A man that used a electric scooter lived there. He was older & always wore a straw cowboy hat. 1 day, a for sale sign was in the yard & he was no longer there waving at us as we drove by.
There's a little green house down the road from us. It's a little run down & an older man always sat on the porch petting his cats. He had a way for them to get in & out of the house. He was almost always there with his cats & kittens. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed he had a walker & was looking back at the home. A few days ago, there were trucks there cutting down overgrown shrubs & hauling his belongings away. I don't know what happened to him or the cats.
My trip to the mailbox or the store is starker than it was 2 months back. I didn't know these men, but they made the trip more interesting & lighter. Now they're gone & there's nothing more to be said. That part of my trip is empty now. I wonder when it happens to us, will people even notice we're no longer there?
Cya...
