I wasn\u2019t hungry. And yet\u2026Pie. Stop for a piece of pie! I was overwhelmed by the desire for pie. I pulled into the parking lot of a diner. What was going on? Maybe I needed a treat. I\u2019d spent the evening with friends and now was feeling lonely. I was 62, a widow of seven years. Everyone else had family to go home to. Not me. I went inside, sat at the counter, gave in and ordered a slice of blueberry pie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\">Across the counter, I spotted Donna, a young woman I recognized from town. She was eating by herself too. I dug into my dessert and made chitchat. \u2018My stepmom passed away a few months ago,\u2019 Donna said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\">\u2018Oh dear, I\u2019m so sorry to hear that,\u2019 I said. We talked and talked until the last crumbs on our plates were gone. Three days later, I ran into Donna\u2019s father at the post office. We were just acquaintances, but after my conversation with Donna I felt as though I had to say something. \u2018I understand what you\u2019re going through. If you ever need anything&#8230;\u2019 We struck up a friendship, and eventually started dating. Two years later, we were married. I\u2019m not lonely anymore.

My sister, Rebekkah, and I were driving home from the supermarket when she received an important phone call that required her undivided attention. We pulled over; now Rebekkah was deep in a conversation with no end in sight. The Klondike bars we\u2019d bought would be soup before we could get them into the freezer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\">I rarely ate ice cream, but it was a blazing hot day and I had that Klondike jingle stuck in my head:\u00a0What would you doo-oo-ooh\u2026 So I had gone out and bought a box of six. We each ate two in the car. The other two seemed destined for the trash. Out of my window, I spotted a man in a wheelchair stopped by the road.\u00a0Why not offer him the ice cream?\u00a0Yeah, right! I didn\u2019t know the guy; he\u2019d think I was nuts. But the idea stuck in my head just like that jingle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\">I got out of the car and approached him.

I\u2019d met up with him to complete the work, and before he left I gave him a handful of red-and-white mint lozenges, my entire supply, to soothe his sore throat. I must have picked up his bug.\u00a0Lord, I wish I\u2019d saved a couple of those mints!\u00a0I prayed. I heard a loud clanking noise. An old pickup truck was pulling up behind me.
