Not only a good 80’s song, but also relevant to my shopping experience yesterday.
There are some things that you just associate with people or places. I was at the grocery store and decided to go down the snack aisle. I needed snacks. Every time I see the Nilla Wafers, I think of my Grandpa. Yesterday, I had to give in and buy a box. Yum. Another thing that reminds me of Grandpa is angelfood cake. He had a heart problems and I remember visiting him in the hospital. They always gave him angelfood cake and if we were visiting, he shared it with us. Sometimes he’d even save it just for us; he was a wonderful Grandpa.
I recently wrote about the Grandpa chair that I am currently sitting in while typing this and remembering him sitting in the chair, my Dad (his son-in-law) pretending to sit on his lap. I can hear his donkey-esque laugh and the punctuated way that he & Grandma said my Mom’s name. I can’t hear his voice any longer, just the laugh and they way he said her name. Makes me a little sad, but it has been almost 20 years since he went to Heaven; I think he’d forgive me that, he was, after all, a wonderful Grandpa!
