“A Chat”

He held her hand to help her on the bus. The driver had lowered the step, but the man standing beside her had to hold her hand to help her on the bus. Her face showed that she has been on this earth for many years. When she got in the bus, she sat next to me, and she was breathing hard. She calmed down then smiled at me.
“Child, I never thought I would live to see the day that my son would have to help me up on the bus.”
He said, “Ma that’s not a problem.”
“I know it’s not. You have been a good son.”
He smiled then said, “Your 70 year old son.”
She said, “Wow, your 95 year old mother.”
Everyone on the bus smiled, and wished her the best. I leaned back, because I was going to have a chat about the past with this woman.
