Dad’s Food Love

My dad had an extra big appetite for life and he loved to explore any food scene anywhere. He loved to taste and enjoyed all that has to do with cooking. I saw his eyes sparkle discovering new food vendors in markets time and time again. As if I saw him retrieving back to be a child who was hungry for his mom’s love.

He tirelessly brought home all kinds of treats for us to share. We were all becoming curious tasters. Later in his life, his diabetes prevented him from tasting and eating his normal food or trying new goodies. He was put in a food prison for the last several years of his life.

Gloomy eyes replaced all those sparkles. My dad’s food journey would one day end. I have no doubts that he is wondering around in heaven looking for new food tressures to try as am typing these words down.
