TV guide

There are often differences, in generation and place. And there are three memories of similarity too. All rolled up into shared experiences and conversations.
I'm drinking wine with my father-in-law and he gives me the TV guide.
I haven't looked at one of those for years.
I feel the warm comfort of the past reminding me of my own father and a time when you chose what to watch ahead of time.
I feel loved and cared for by this simple gesture.
