This is beautiful and so relatable. When my dad was dying I visited for weeks at a time to caregive. Each morning I'd make Dad's oatmeal and he complained about it each time. I did it all wrong. Then I flew back home and my brother told me Dad told everyone who tried to serve him breakfast that only Mary knew how to make his oatmeal properly and he wanted me back. It was a weird sort of gift.
