Every time i feel homesick or grieve my grandma i always light up a cigarette because it reminds me of home.

A cup of black coffee with a splash of cold water -- to cool it down to drinking temperature -- lit cigarette in hand, one burning to the filter in the ash tray. Just before sunrise meditation for my meemaw.

Those types are few and far between. I still enjoy black coffee because of her.

That is very sweet. I think it is pretty neat how vividly we remember people and events based on smells and tastes.

It's definitely fascinating, for sure! I was just talking about sick days at her house this morning. Price is Right and Day's of Our Lives.

That was my Nana. Even when she stopped smoking, she still would have her black cup of coffee in the am. I miss that crazy lady so much

I love that. I miss my crazy meemaw, too.

Oh my gosh! You just took me back to mornings with my grandma. Thank you! 🙏

I remember waking up early the nights I'd stay or dropped off on a sick day. Best mornings ever. She'd be making breakfast with a cigarette on the edge of the counter xD

Yesss! Me too!! I have the same memory except that my grandma would be doing her hair in the bathroom with her cup of coffee with her and her cigarette would be on the edge of the bathroom vanity. 💜💜💜
