RIP Grandfather


I feel you watching me,
I feel your love wrap around me,
I know you see, hear and feel my love for you.
You walk with me, talk through me, and expand my heart.
You had me at the first smile,
Your voice, your laughter, your twinkling eyes beckon me still.
I love you,
I know you love me,
Your place in my heart is cast.
Always, forever.
Always, until we meet again.
RIP Vernon E. Richardson

Love writing about food and travel (www.thegalavantinggastronome.com) and my conversations with God (https://gitanjali.yoga). Born and raised in India. Sailor's daughter. Travel is in my DNA. Married to a scientist, who is a chemist professionally and in every other culinary way. Food, coffee, cocktails, BBQ, smoked meats, rubs, sauces...he experiments with it all - with way more wins than misses. We love the outdoors. Hiking, kayaking and camping make us happy. We are equal opportunity foodies. We love hole-in-the-wall little mom and pop places, and multi-coursed Michelin star meals as well. And, we love talking about what we love about the food, drink, coffee and anything else we get to try.
