Touching Story From the Inbox

following him around. If he stopped, she stopped. Furthermore she kept staring at
him.

She finally overtook him at the checkout. She turned to him and said,
"I hope I haven't made you feel ill at ease; it's just that you look so much like
my late son."

He answered, "That's okay."

"I know it's silly, but if you'd call out "Good bye, Mom" as I leave
the store, it would make me feel so happy."

She then went through the checkout. As she was on her way out of the
store, The man called out, "Goodbye, Mom."

The little old lady waved, and smiled back at him.

went to pay for his groceries.
