Feeling Empty
We have all felt the empty feeling that lost brings. The text says,''I still make coffee for two", and that makes me believe the man in the text has lost someone, and still is not finished grieving for his lost loved one. The man lost someone, but who? I have never lost anyone who was important to me, but other people I know have, and I am not looking forward to losing someone important to me.
The text talks about making two cups of coffee, but in the picture it is just one man. The picture is ominous, the colors are not bright like the colors of a happy picture would be. The man in the picture seems to be in deep thought; possibly about his lost loved one. He also seems to be frowning because he remembered all the good times and the bad times. All of these little details lead me to believe that this man has lost someone who was important to him, but who was it?
Losing someone who is important to you is not ever good, but it can be worse depending on who you lost. Maybe he lost an acquaintance, that is never fun, but would it not be worse if his dad died? If he lost anyone I think would have been someone he spent a lot of time with, like a grandparent, parent, or his wife. I believe that the man lost a grandparent, mother, father, or wife because everything in the text points toward deep grieving and he would not be grieving deeply if it was not someone he was very close too.
I have been lucky enough to not lose anyone who was important to me yet, but I have seen how detrimental it can be. I have seen some of my friends struggle with loss of a loved one. I have seen how it impacts the way they act, and how it eats at you because the last words the said to each other were harsh, or maybe they never got to say goodbye. I know it will eventually happen, and I will eventually feel like the man in the text, but hopefully not anytime soon.
The man is probably feeling empty because he has lost someone important to him. You probably would not make coffee on a regular basis with someone that you were not close with, and that makes me believe that it was a parent or his wife. I have gotten lucky, and have not lost anyone as important to me as the man in the text has, but everyone does eventually have that empty feeling that loss brings.
