Coffee With Gram

Well, it's morning....and quite often after Bethany leaves for school, I make myself a cup of coffee. Some mornings, when I didn't have to rush off somewhere, I would call Gram and tell her that I was making coffee and ask if she'd like me to make some for her too. She would always say yes (Gram really enjoyed her coffee -- with lots of REAL cream and sugar!), and we would chat and catch up while we were "having coffee" together. It was a little ritual that was silly, but treasured.

I miss moments like these. Gram isn't just a phone call away, and now I drink my coffee alone. ....But this morning, Gram, I'm making extra for you and wishing you were here.
