Grandmother of the Year Award!
While much of the U.S. has seen its share of snow this year, total snowfall in the Caribbean has been… let me see… zero! So much for radical climate change.
Aware that my son has never seen snow, my dear mother shoveled large amounts of the powder into plastic bags, dropped them into her deep freezer, and awaited the arrival of her 3-year old grandson. Titus actually opined that snow came from tree leaves because one of his children’s books has a picture of a snow clad tree. He asked Kristie one day: “Mom, do you remember snow?”
Yesterday, we went out to the back yard, ripped open the plastic bags, and watched little man examine the powder, taste it, dig his hands in, and participate in his first snowball fight. A memory was definitely made. This will be Titus’ “first snow.” And my mom is “Grandmother of the Year.”
