A flavor that made me feel safe, so I could let those things go. A flavor that held my hand and walked me across to the other side of loss, and assured me that one day, I would be just fine. A flavor for a change of heart- part grief, part hope. Suddenly, I knew what that flavor would be. I padded down to the kitchen and cut a slice of sour cream coffee cake with a spicy underground river coursing through its center, left over from an order that had not been picked up today. One bite and I was sure. A familiar flavor that now seemed utterly fresh and custom-made for me. Cinnamon. The comfort of sweet cinnamon. It always worked. I felt better. Lighter. Not quite \"everything is going to be all right,\" but getting there. One step at a time.”",
