welcomed change.

walking downtown today, i saw a familiar face.
a familiar face because it was my brother-in-law, aaron, a stranger to the outside world for the last couple of months.
it was so weird seeing him walking down the ped mall, all alone; a little more cautious and slower than usual, but he was doing it.
he was so comfortable, though, and confident, and it was amazing.
we walked and talked and he told me i looked 'smooth' (referring to my skin, not my demeanor).

i was just so happy to see him breathing some fresh air.
