I didn’t realize that it’s been 7 years since I posted something on my dad’s birthday.  He would have been 82 today.  This grief journey is a gift, and I am blessed to be on it.

I just read about a nutritious cereal that came out the same year I was born.  According to The Retroist, and the Tacoma News Tribune, Product 19 was made up of “crisp, bubbly flakes blended from 4 nutritious grains.”  Most of the other cereals at the time were filled with fat and cholesterol.  It was probably the healthy angle that kept this cereal off my radar and out of our kitchen all those years.  Product 19 stayed on grocery shelves until 2016.
