My grandmother had the softest hands. Holding her hands felt like holding the clouds. When she made her famous biscuits, it was as though she imbued this light and fluffy softness into her biscuits.
Whenever friends, family, future friends and family would visit, they had to have her biscuits. They started with the traditional biscuits with sausage gravy, then they enjoyed the absolute best biscuits with chocolate gravy.
Every time that I have the opportunity to enjoy homemade biscuits with chocolate gravy, I think of my grandmother and how amazing hers tasted. The chocolate gravy seemed to be imbued with her sweetness. The entire meal spoke of her love and filled you with it.
Even shortly after I had surgery for my acid reflux and was on a restricted diet, as soon as, I was allowed, I went to my grandmother's house, to enjoy her delicious homemade biscuits with chocolate gravy.
She has since passed away, some years ago. I still miss her and her delicious cooking, including her homemade biscuits with chocolate gravy. My aunts have tried to continue the tradition, but honestly, they don't have those special grandmother ingredients. The ingredients of a grandmother's love, sweetness and hands, as soft as the clouds.
I am no longer able to taste my grandmother's homemade biscuits with chocolate gravy. But the memory of it and of her, will never go away. So, wiping away the tears, as I write this, I will say, “I love you, granny and I always will.”
