Tin Cup Whiskey

My favorite whiskey paired wt hand-squeezed Orange juice from here on my family’s property, and Grapefruit juice from my cousin’s tree! (I kept some seeds from the biggest one he gave me I’m low key trying to grow my own!)

Oliver? Like twist?

Hey! That’s pretty good! I guess that’s supposed to scare the Dickens out of me?

That’s hilarious I’ve never heard that before!

What you said was pretty good too! 

No one’s ever told you that before? 

I usually say it! I always get people calling me Olivia like I’ll make reservations somewhere and they’ll get that down so I always say Oliver, like twist! That’s why when you said it I was so taken a back but that says a lot about you. I bet you like to read!

My Tia Lupe was 92, and her health was slowly declining. She had just come home from the first hospital visit. Still not really able to speak. I brought various items to try to strike up a conversation wt her. In my hand I was holding a doll she had made out of paper towels to demonstrate the types of dolls she grew up wt on el rancho. She made it when she was staying with us in Orange Cove. She always bounced back. She was always resilient. This was the hardest time of my life. My mom was dying. I'll never receive a love more pure, honest, and caring than the love that she gave me. Forever on my mind; forever in my heart. Time has passed and I can't believe how much. This feels like it was only a few months back. The memory as fresh as the wound feels, as I travel through the memories in my mind.
