5. Life's Flow

In the middle of
Normal things, sometimes you feel
It all: cry, and love.

My girlfriend and I just went out to dinner with my parents, who are planning their retirement. We started talking about their plans to join an old-age community, and I was suddenly overwhelmed, as if from nowhere, by a tsunami of emotion. I suddenly realized how much I love them, and how much they mean to me, in a wave of feeling that nearly crushed me. I started crying over my fish dinner and I couldn't stop.
