Restaurant Regulars
On the topic of sudden restaurant closures, I remembered a Facebook post I bookmarked a few weeks ago because I found it touching.
The restaurant posted about a celebration of life held in the space for a restaurant regular. I never thought about being a regular from the opposite side: that restaurant employees (or bookstores or salons or wherever you are a regular) miss us as much as we miss them. That they not only notice the regulars and greet them when they come in, but they mourn them when they’re gone. Community flows both ways.
And I never thought about that before.

The owners of the Chinese resturant that my family were regulars at, eapecially my dad, he took everyone there, came his funeral. It was incredibly sweet, I had never known of that happening before.
