daddy Current mood:  contemplative I just remember the strangest things sometimes... I just made a cup of Folger's Instant Coffee with half and half in it and it always makes me think of my dad. When I was a little girl he...would make Folgers Coffee with half and half and a little bit of sugar and... when I got to taste that... it was like sipping on a little piece of heaven. It sounds super silly but it tasted so good to me... I was like inbetween 5-7 years old and I always remember waking up in the morning, at 247 Serra Drive in south san francisco, and smelling his cup of coffee. He always got up at like 0500 in the morning and he usually went to bed around 6 or 7 at night. Anyway I would get up and wander into the kitchen, it wasnt a big kitchen but I loved this apartment. I would walk over to him and he would say something like "goodmorning sweetie" or something to that effect- I can't remember but I know it was something sweet. Usually he would make me some breakfast, maybe scrambled eggs maybe cereal. But, always before I ate my breakfast I would most likely sit on his lap and hug him.. and he always smelled so good somehow. He would be in his brown bath robe and I would be in my PJ's and Id sit on his lap and ask to taste some of his coffee. He'd usually let me taste it but I wasn't allowed to have a cup of my own. He was probably worried Id be like the frikking energizer bunny and put on a show for like 8 hours straight. Thats what I did when I was a little girl. I put on a show for my dad, and my mom.. and sometimes my sister when she wasnt sick of looking at me. (she kinda hated me when we were younger...but were all love now ) Anyway, I digress... I miss those mornings with my daddy. It's something that I keep losing more and more cause I remember less and less. He died when I was seven. I miss my mornings with my dad. With the folgers coffee and saturday morning cartoons. Someday we'll be together...
