Oreos and Milk

Oreos and Milk

I never thought that Oreos and milk would mean so much to me. It was the last thing I ate with my Dad. I remember, right before he lost his voice a few days before he died, I called him before I went to see him and asked him what he wanted to eat. I told him it did not matter as long as he would just eat something. He asked me to bring him Oreos and milk. So, I would have turned the Earth upside down to find them for him. We sat and watched some TV show together and dunked our Oreos in the milk. We laughed like two kids playing together. No words, just enjoying eating Oreos and milk together. Our young spirits intertwined in the present moment. It is one of the sweetest and most sacredly beautiful memories I have of the two of us alone together. It was just all about love and spending a few stolen moments eating Oreos and milk together. Moments that I will hold in my heart forever. I love you Daddy! 💜
