A day before Christmas, the scent of cinnamon and stale coffee hung in the air of my kitchen, a familiar perfume that had defined my existence for forty years. I was standing by the counter, my hands wrapped around a ceramic mug that read World’s Best Grandma—a gift from a gas station, likely bought five minutes before a visit three years ago.
