SUMMER CO-WORKERS

We worked with children at Grandview Park in Vancouver in the summer of ‘89. I worked with special needs kids, and I recall you took groups of kids on outings.

One day I lost my keys. One of your kids found them and dropped the keys in a mailbox. You were kind enough to wait with me for a couple hours after work, across the street at Joe’s Cafe, until the postie arrived. I look back on that day and think how crazy I was not to ask you out on a date. Lately I’ve been wondering how life has treated you since that summer. I would love to hear from you. You had long blonde hair, you smiled frequently, and you had an infectious laugh.

When: August 15, 1989

SMILES AT THE GAS STATION

I was filling up, you were about to... We exchanged smiles. You: blonde lady, me: brunette (well, salt and pepper) fella. I looked back as I pulled away and we exchanged another quick smile— couldn’t help but try this to reach out to you... reach back!!

When: March 3

Where: New Westminster

HAPPY DAY CAFE ON KINGSWAY

You were sitting by yourself and you ordered a few curry fish balls and a few deep-fried spring rolls eating by yourself. You were wearing a white t-shirt, a pair of grey sweatpants, and sunglasses. I was sitting by the window next to you and would have loved to strike a conversation and maybe take you around trying and exploring different Asian cuisine, if it wasn’t for my mom and sister sitting with me at the time... lol.

Would love to make a friend and hang out sometime...

When: March 16

Where: Happy Day Cafe on Kingsway
