A treasure from my old barista job: a very nice couple used to come in every Sunday. They still went on weekly dates after being married for a couple decades. One day they came in to say goodbye — they were retiring and they planned to spend the rest of their days traveling. They promised they’d send me a postcard when they were halfway around the globe. I still cry a little every time I look at it. I hope Mike and Rose know that I’m still inspired by their kindness and love for one another bound only by the size of the world.
