I see him often and was hoping to see him again today. As I exited the train station, there he was. Our eyes met and he smiled as I approached him. "Good morning Robert", I said. "Do you know what today is?" He promptly replied, "Friday". "Do you know what else today is?" He looked at me with a puzzled expression until I told him that a year ago today we first met and I took his picture. "Then, it's our anniversary", he chuckled.
As I often do when I see Robert, I went back to McDonald's, his favorite restaurant, and bought him breakfast. When I returned, we spoke for a while about the past year. Robert told me he still has the pictures I took of him a year ago and was just looking at them this week. I asked and he agreed to let me take a few more photos.
We talked a short while longer, I wished him a good weekend and he wished me a happy anniversary. I gave him multiples of $2, we shook hands and agreed to "celebrate" again next year.
