It has all been like a dream, overnight my mother is able to fend for herself, it has been several months since a series of events led her to be confined to a wheelchair. It was very hard for her and for those of us who love her.
Now she can even enjoy her beloved cup of coffee for breakfast and also for her afternoon snack. I myself had avoided offering her coffee very often due to a special diet I had been serving her to see if her body would lighten up so that she could carry it with grace and ease, without needing anyone.
I still remember and smile as today my mother dances in the kitchen and brews her coffee, I thought it was all a joke, when that strange character told me to write down my three coffee wishes and place them under the magic coffee pot. I played along just to distract myself and without hesitation I asked that my mother could enjoy her coffee again and that it would bring her only the best benefits.
And wow, what a great surprise, I am still hallucinating, the wish was fulfilled better than I imagined.
My mother is walking light, even today she was the one who prepared breakfast, it is fascinating to see her so energetic and in the best mood, however, I continue with the healthy eating plan for her and for me, I don't want her to have a relapse due to negligence and for me because I really need to lose some pounds and some measurements to see if my jeans fit again. So zero refined sugar for us.
A coffee without sugar is something unthinkable for my mom, I confess for me too, but now we have a unique and special coffee, a sweet bean coffee, with no calories, that when ground has the most delicious smell of flower nectar with comforting coffee rain. A daily supply of the finest sweet bean coffee magically appears in my bowl each morning, I call it coffee paradise.
Of course I asked for this paradise coffee in one of the coffee wishes, yes I have heard of some sweet bean coffees but never in my dreams did I think it would be possible to get access to any and now I have a daily supply, this is pure magic.
Now, friends, I'll leave you, I'm going to finish getting ready and prepare everything I need for a little trip I'm taking with my mother and my girlfriend, we're going to the country for a few days. What do you think? We have to go to witness the coffee rain, soft, abundant and comforting rain I have asked, like that song by, Juan Luis Guerra, Ojalá llueva café (I hope it rains coffee). I can't miss it, surely my mother will dance with ease while she picks some coffee beans for fun. The owners of coffee farms will not be amused by this, but most of them will be happy, a little magic is good, sometimes life gets difficult.
I have a hard time remembering how I got to that mysterious coffee shop, I may be imagining it all, but I want to go back, I felt so at home. Shoes were left outside before entering, soft fluffy light brown fiber carpets invited you to sit on them without any protocol. If by any accident coffee was spilled, it instantly disappeared as if by magic.
A huge skylight in the ceiling let in natural light, which fed an immense coffee pot in the center of the place that could serve coffee as you asked for it. Dream or reality, lie or truth, whatever it takes to make us feel better, sometimes life gets difficult.
