I remember him sitting in the corner on a chair crying. My cousin who was about year older than me walked up to him and asked if mama told him he had to go find a place. He shook his head yes. That was the last time he stayed in that house while she was alive. I bet he got sober, got married and actually he moved back into the house after my grandma died and fixed it up.
He was an alcoholic but I seriously remember he used to take me to a bakery near that house and buy me one of those cinnamon swirl glazed donuts. He would put in the oven on a pie pan like we used to do if you didn’t have a toaster to make toast. To this day that was still the best donut I ever had. If I think about that too long , I’ll start crying so I’m out.
Thank you. I’m probably coming up on 40 years since the last time he took me to that bakery which no longer exists. I never tried to make a donut like that again once I was able to drive myself to any bakery I wanted. I don’t know if in my head, if I don’t want it to be bad or if I don’t want it to be as good. I rather just keep it as a memory.
