Marie -Two Generations of Simple Happiness

 Was on a hang over from my trip down to memory lane, and I chanced upon this childhood reverie from this modern grocery in the east. For those of us who grew up in the 80"s, this is a familiar treat. It was a comfort biscuit so to speak but it was also a symbol of how much our parents cared for us. That from this plain round cracker wrapped in red plastic, and uncomplicated piece of bread, they are able to send their love to us.

Our generation could never forget that time when our mothers would pack this up in our "baon" to temporarily satisfy our hunger. It was fun in a small package so to speak. Children found little joys in eating this not only because they have something to nibble on but also because it constantly reminds us  as kids that when our innocent hearts needed something to depend on amidst the confusion that our ignorance could not fathom as little boys and girls, we have this 4 piece round of delights to cover up for those uncertain moments. I love Marie. And I love the sweet memory it brings back to me.
