On days like today, I miss my grandparents...both sets. I miss my cousins. I miss my sister. Pimento cheese, tomato sandwiches, sweet tea, a Jackson Mets game followed by fireworks.

Things can never be the same and you can only hold onto what is good.



This year, I'm cooking for just my parents. I won't even see my brother. My sister lives SO far away.


It has still been a good day, though. And I won't miss the fireworks.




Happy 4th of July to my American friends.
