Thankyou for sharing such a heartfelt and beautifully written memory-it was a joy and a teajerker at all once. Your story isn't just about amazing vegan food (through now I'm seriously craving Buddha's Feast), it's really about the powerful connection between food, memory, and love. The way you described your road trip, the rain, the decision stop, and the quiet moment in that restaurant brought everything to life. Most touching of all was the image of your mum, bundle up, surprising you with how much she enjoyed the food, turning a tough time into something deeply meaningful. it's beautiful how food became a comfort and celebration of life both of you, and how even now, it helps you carry her memory. I truly hope that special restaurant stays open for whenever you return, and I wish you safe, joyful travels ahead-your journey sounds incredible. @chocolatescorpi
