Until I bought Grandpa his Old Fashioned Candy. I automatically picked some up the other day at the store. He really loved it. When we played games he would pass the can around the table and everyone would grab a few. You have to eat a couple at a time, ya know. Gosh, how much I miss him. So, when I popped opened the can yesterday, I felt he was little closer to us. A part of him was here. Smiling, his beautiful smile.....telling me you need more than one and squeezing me tight.

I thought I had commented on this post, but I guess it didn't save.
This is such a sweet post (no pun intended) and I know what you mean. My grandma died last December and I've been fine with it, but have very surprised by often I think of her and of all the things that remind me of her.
