I Remember Her with every cup

When I was a little girl my grandma, and papa took care of me while my mom worked and went to school. I remember waking up every morning to my gram sitting at the kitchen table by the window. Always with a Tim Hortons coffee and Tea biscuit. "Good morning dear, how did you sleep?" She would say. Without missing a beat she would give me half of her biscout and a small tea cup of her coffee. It became our morning sharing time. I Remember the fresh coffee smell every time I would walk into the room. The smile and love that went to me with that coffee stuck with me over the yrs. After I was grown and had a family of my own things changed a bit, but every morning I would sit in my kitchen with a coffee from Tim Hortons and a tea biscout while I talked to my grandma on the phone. We werent in the same place but we were. My grandma passed on Oct 20 2010, and is Missed VERY much. My mother and I still to this day share that same morning coffee from Tim Hortons and with every cup we think of her. Thanks to Tim Horton (who was killed in a tragic accident In 1974) for sharing in the memories of so many of us.
