Forever and ever and ever

The other night while picking up a dinner order I pulled in to a parking space next to an older woman who was cleaning the freshly fallen snow off her car in the cold and under the dim light of a streetlamp. I'd say she was about seventy years old and when I walked by her she spoke out loud, not really to me, but mostly just to the world... the sky... herself,

"I should have left here when I was a kid." She said matter-of-factly.

And I kind of laughed and thought this is what February is going to be like until I die hu?
