Irreplaceable

A Portrait of My Grandmother

When my grandmother used to babysit me, she would always make a bowl of sugarcoated strawberries. The already sweet fruit turned into a delectable candy treat. I’d devour one spoonful after the other as I watched cartoons. My family didn’t have cable at the time, that wouldn’t come until middle school, and so it was a treat to see anything animated outside of a Saturday morning.
