Pap Pap’s Drink

Pap Pap's Drink

Submitted by Maria Galgon. It’s essentially warm milk with maple syrup and vanilla. And it might sound a little basic, but it is important to me. My mom always told me stories about how her dad, my grandpa Pap Pap, would make it for her at bedtime. When she talks about Pap Pap, she describes how he worked a lot and was not home very much. So, this was his way of showing love. Now, my mom makes it for me, and whenever we visit my grandparents, they always make it.
