My childhood friend I went to a Japanese noodle restaurant last Sunday. While I was in a line for my order, an elder man bowed to me. At first, I didn't realize who he was. I rembered he was my old friend's father in my parent's neighborhood. He was having Udon with his family. I completely thought that a woman sitting next to him was his daughter. She and I have known since childhood so I said to her, " Long time to see. How have you been?" However, she remained silent with a wondering face. He told me that she was my granddaughter. I was really surprised that the young lady looked just like my friend did when she was young. I mistook the granddaughter for her mother( my old friend) because I haven't seen her for a long time.
