Sappy Moment at Work

Let me preface this with a fact. I do not like anise candy. I just don't like it. I'll drink Sambuca, but no anise candy.

Well there's a bowl of hard candy on the counter in the kitchen. I walked by and noticed they're all wrapped in shiny red wrapping. I snagged one and popped one in my mouth. It's anise flavored. The reason I didn't just spit it out is because my Grandpa always used to suck on these candies, and by having one, I just got the overwhelming feeling of him being nearby.

*sigh*

Not gonna lie, I got kinda choked up. Gonna have to snag a handful and keep them with me for when I get sad and just want to remember or feel him near.
