So today I thought I'd swing by Burger King and pick up some grub after work. Whilst I'm eating, this middle aged dude comes out and starts cleaning tables and what not (guy was no younger than 40) and he looks unwell like he's got cancer or something, just doesn't look right (looks frail, chronically exhausted and has got dark circles under his eyes). He's cleaning the table behind me and out of the corner of my eye I can see this shy looking school kid who's the spitting image of this guy, (who's supposedly his Dad) standing outside the store windows.
The guy signals him to come inside subtly. Little dude walks in timidly keeping his head kind of down, smiling every so often as he walks towards the older guy. They have a bit of an awkward embrace and the older guy sort of goes in for a hug but they both get shy and the Dad just gives the kid a little bump on the chest with his fist and says, "Glad you're here, I've missed you son". My heart strings were fucking tugged to the max right there after looking at the kids expression. I'm not a mystic by any means, but I could feel the connection between the two of them flooding the room.
I know I'm going to get the obligatory "outed" posts, but my question is this; Have any of you ever heard/witnessed something completely random in your day to day life that just triggered your softer side, whereas normally you wouldn't bat an eye?
