It was bitterly cold that evening as dusk quickly succumbed
to darkness. We had but one neighbor in our community so we ventured to one
next to us. At just 19 months old, Gogo was the cutest Winnie the Pooh ever! It
was a rather short outing as we visited two, maybe three homes in the area.
Nonetheless, it was a very special, memorable moment for me.
Over the next few years, our community had grown, so had our
family. Didi joined our candy collection duty the year after. Boy, what an
adorable chili pepper he was!
Warm or cold, I walked the streets with the two brothers on
this special day, year after year. From cute animals to stealthy ninjas, to scythe
wielding Grim Reapers, their imagination is never in short supply. As nightfall
rendered the streets to a blur, we paced our way home.
My fingers were numb from the two-hour walk, it certainly was
chilly! I watched in amazement as the kids poured their candy collections onto
the floor, there were some four hundred pieces of candies, maybe more!
“Baba, these are for you.” Didi came up and handed me a big
handful of my favorite chocolate candies. Gog also did the same. It really warmed me up
from the inside. It was all treats for me on this Halloween.
