Was walking down a main aisle at a store and came upon a man in a light blue knit turtleneck. He made an offhand comment toward me as I passed by, at which point I did a double take and realized it was my stepfather. He looked great, like the photo I had seen from his twenties, but maybe 5-10yrs later. I told him that I had been thinking about him a lot lately and hoped he had been doing well. I remember thinking how I wanted to tell him how much I have grown to respect and appreciate some of the lessons he taught me, and himself as a person. However, I don't know if I actually said it. He was with another woman I did not recognize, and she did not introduce herself.
