Throughout my childhood, my father was extremely fat, and my family life was filled with finding new ways to lose weight. But on the weekends I spent with my grandmother, everything changed.
Whenever I arrived at my grandmother' s house, she would run down her front porch stairs, saying, " My little beauty. " I heard her say " beauty" so often that I thought it was her name, so that's what I called her. The name stuck, and soon everyone in her small neighborhood knew my grandmother as Beauty.
I remember walking hand in hand along the shops on Devon Avenue in Chicago to get everything ready for our special Saturday dinner. Beauty was very popular in her neighborhood, which made me feel happy to be with her. It seemed that everyone loved my grandmother, from the baker to the butcher. The men at the fruit stand showed us what was in season and ripe, and the ladies at the beauty shop flattered my grandmother on her beautiful hats, telling her she looked exactly like Ruth Gordon.
Beauty was the perfect name for my grandmother. Everywhere she went, she made people smile. We walked along Devon Avenue, buying ingredients for our dinner. Beauty would tell me stories about my family. She talked abouther daughter, my mother, who hated to cook, and how my father would sometimes eat an entire pizza before going out to dinner because he worried that he would be hungry while waiting for his food to arrive at the restaurant.
My grandmother was always kind to me and was my biggest fan. Though my parents were very busy with their own lives, my grandmother and I would sit around the kitchen table cooking and talking about our feelings for hours.
Eventually my treasured weekends with my grandmother came to an end, when my father landed a job at an ad agency in New York City. But it turns out that the nine years I spent in Beauty's kitchen were enough for my lifetime.
