A small act of love:
The rest area (Exit 10, Mass Pike) was chaotic. Crowds of
folk, long lines, hustle and bustle everywhere, people looking shell-shocked,
teenaged girls especially moody. One
mother keeping guard over a table while the family went to get food. She had a
stack of recycled napkins and was setting the table, using the opened napkins
as placemats, one for each of her family, all ready and waiting for them to
return. In the midst of all the hecticity, she created a small island of
domesticity.
