Patricia

Patricia was sitting at a table in the mall watching people. At times she was openly staring at the people who walked by her table.  As someone who also enjoys people watching, I knew she would be perfect to write in my journal. She seemed slightly suspicious and didn’t want herself identified except for her first name. After writing a note, we talked for a small time and I gave her directions to pick up her grandson.

My name is Patricia and i am 75 years old. I’ve never been to this mall before but I have to kill three hours. I had to drop my grandson off at a drug ed. class and visitors are not allowed. He is a good kid as all Grandmothers say. I do not live in Gastonia so I am nervous about finding my way back. A very polite young lady asked me to write a note-God bless her.
