Come Back and See Me
A personal essay about visiting a grandmother, the rituals of shared drives and the comfort of familiar songs.
The author waits for their grandmother’s red Mini Cooper to turn onto their street, the familiar flash of color signaling the start of a special day. When it arrives they slide into the passenger seat as their grandmother feeds a CD into the stereo and they sing with the windows down. The piece reflects on family rituals and the comfort of shared moments.
