"Why I Don't Say Hello In the Grocery" by Hedy Zimra

Hedy Zimra is a friend who is no longer with us. Here is her bio. I found it online, beneath another story she published, in 2008. It says the world about her.

"Hedy Zimra lives in Suzhou, China with her lovely children, ruggedly handsome husband and intersex dog. In the mid-1990s, she once made up a story to appear on a second-rate daytime talkshow. She has also published some fiction."


Anyway, I had occasion to think of her today. This led to reading her stories.

"Why I Don't Say Hello In the Grocery" is my favorite.

Although, I've read it over and over again, only today did I notice the "listen to this story option." I feel like I've been hand-delivered a small beautiful miracle, on this ordinary day in January.
