"I carried a 40-pound child in my arms for well over a mile, not because she couldn’t walk that far but because I know the days where she’ll want me to carry her like that are running short. "
There is (or maybe was, given Covid) a bar in the Financial District of NYC that made the best burger I ever had. Meat, condiments, etc all added up to near perfection. I ate there for lunch and came back with my son for dinner that same day and had the same dang burger both times. I got it a third time on another visit a couple months later. A couple of months after that, the burger left the menu, and never returned, though I checked a couple of times. <sigh>

I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING!

"...like a tree burr on a wool jacket." Oh man, I have a score of notions like that hooked into my brain, all topics. Perfectly described.
