Sleeping Candy

Image: We Heart It

He had a very special

jar filled with old

fashioned sugar

stick candy

 

Mixed flavors in

green, yellow, and pink

the soft melty kind

 

Sleeping Candy

he called it

My favorite was

yellow – lemony

 

He gave a piece

each night to

his grandchildren

when they

visited.

 

I was just the

little girl from

across the road

but…

I always got

one too

 

He was more than 

my neighbor…

He was the

grandfather I 

didn’t have
