Grandmama’s Vanilla

This morning I happened to glance up in my cabinet and see this jar of homemade vanilla extract.

It was from a batch that Grandmama made and it hit me-I’ll never get another bottle of that homemade vanilla from her again.

I don’t bake much anymore, so this bottle could last me for the rest of my life, but it’s still heart-wrenching to realize I’ll never get another bottle from Grandmama again.
