Spaghetti Sauce

When I walk down the aisle at the grocery store,

I see the brand of sauce you used to buy for spaghetti.

I’m longing for your spaghetti.

I miss you.

I don’t know why it’s harder than it was last year.

It’s just that all I want is to attempt to make it since

I saw you do it once.

Last time I brought it up,

my mom bought the right brand but wrong flavor.

I fear it won’t taste the same, but I’d still like to try. Why should it have to die with you?

I know you weren’t blood grandma, but I love you and my heart hurts and I saw grandpa and his new wife again recently and I don’t think that helped.
