I got the coffee maker down from my shelf in the kitchen and went through the process. First I Grabbed a filter and put a few scoops of Folgers in. Next I poured 6 cups of water into the back of the machine and plugged the power chord into the wall and pressed the on button. If you pressed the button to the right, the device would turn on and if you pressed it to the left, it would turn off. It even had a bright orange light when powered on. I’d pace around my house while waiting. Every time I make a cup of joe I think of her. I miss her so much. She went for coffee in heaven and had to stay. It’s been so long since my grandma left but I still feel the pain from it. I should be happy for her. She’s in a better place . After she passed, I felt her presence. I felt like I could smell her around me. I didn’t have tobacco products in my home, but smelled them. Red man had a very particular smell and so did butterscotch. These were things my grandmother loved. I’d be in the middle of watching TV and these scents would come out of the blue. It’s been a long time since anything’s happened. The machine sounds like its done brewing. You know that noise I’m talking about. I walked back into the kitchen and the orange light was off and the power chord was unplugged
Spooky. Was the coffee brewed?

It’s crazy how your mind will bring up those sensations of memory. I will sometimes hear my grandmother’s voice even though its been 2 years. But in someways these little moments do make me happy as they bring to mind all the times we shared.

*pontifically* It would certainly be unusual for a coffee-maker to make coffee, heavenly or otherwise, when not plugged in and switched on. 🙂

Reblogged this on My Blog and commented:
Hi Gastradamus (interesting “name”)
Thanks for the follow(s) …and/or like(s)
I just realised my days are determined and lead down paths from the feedback by my readers and followers around the world, like you. So thanks for the input.
All your comments and feedback encourage (greatly), uplift and even inspire me to follow “this road less travelled”.
I love my days “interacting with you’ guys and gals’ (and anything else in these PC * days-very)”
“sleepy-head and totally non PC” craig
“the world’s fourth worst writer”

Still
“Driven to uplift, encourage and (perhaps even) inspire”

…”of chaos” (in the “real world”, so says “the nurse”)
Together, one mind, one life (one small step at a time), let’s see how many people (and lives) we can encourage, impact, empower, enrich, uplift and perhaps even inspire to reach their fullest potentials ¦and strive for and perhaps one sunny day even achieve their wildest dreams.

I hear my dad singing bass when the choir does certain hymns on Sunday morning.
I smell grandpa in the scent of peppermint.
I feel the weight of grandma stretched out beside me when I take afternoon naps with my granddaughter.
So not spooky. Not ghosts at all. Just the sacred moments of thin space between here and coffee in heaven.
