the one + only ms. jen bekman

this is a (very old) pic of my grandfather and me. he would have turned 90 today. he was a sweet, sweet man. the genesis of his nickname, babe, was him calling me babe and my insistence on calling him babe right back. he`s the one who taught me to love coffee at a very young age. i`d sit on his lap at the kitchen table, reading the sunday comics, and he`d pour a bit of coffee from my grandma`s flea market china cups into a saucer to cool. i still drink my coffee the same way today, milk and not too much sugar. xoxo babe. i miss you.
