Close your eyes. Really..try it(after you read the next few lines).

People are smiling and laughter thickens the air around you ...Hmmm...I'm thinking mexican, italian, or better still something curried, piled high on my plate, provided all your teetth still work. But this is your vision.....The sun is quietly setting outside the window behind you, and as you glance at the latest addition to your grandchildren tugging at the hem of your pant leg, you think to yourself...
