Is it corny that this all happened on my birthday? Not that anyone even knew that it was my birthday, but I kept thinking to myself the whole time everything was happening, “I can’t believe this is what I will always think of on my birthday for the rest of my life.”
I was staying at a cheap motel that I had never intended to stop at. I was taking a mini road trip to visit a friend, (just 3 days,) and was planning to drive another 3 or 4 hours before stopping for the night, but I was hungry from only eating road snacks and sleepy from the oh so hot summer sun; so on a whim I pulled off the freeway into a tiny town that I’d never heard of, (but that I will now never forget,) and checked into the only option in town and grabbed a bite at the diner across the road.
