Ode To Mango Ice Cream

No other ice cream flavor really had caught my fancy ever since I was a kid way back when. When my father brought home one day a gallon size container it was the first ice cream flavor I tasted and the rich, creamy, tangy and sweet flavor of mango traumatized my young taste buds that it recalls the same feeling every time I have some.

Mango Ice Cream had been part of my life. Many celebrated events in the course of my existence had come and always Mango Ice Cream was present.

My 7^th birthday.

My First Communion

My Boy Scout Investitute Ceremony

My Elementary Graduation

My High School Graduation

My College Years

During my birthday

And whenever I fancy something cold and creamy.

Current beau’s anniversary.

Not to mention my parent’s anniversary and whenever I have a say on what flavor of ice cream to buy at my siblings, nephew’s, nieces’, in-laws’ birthdays too.

Mango Ice Cream, any brand will do.

There are break-ups and reconciliations over mango ice cream, love blooms also over mango ice cream. I heard and listened to a lot of stories about life and heartaches from friends and acquaintances while eating this flavorful dessert.

During summer whenever I went on vacation at my cousin’s Mango Ice Cream was also present.

Whenever I am not in the mood, or if I am in the mood.

Whenever I am lonely, or I am happy.

During my father’s wake when he passed away, and to make me remember him by, Mango Ice Cream.

Mango Ice Cream…I think I’ll have some today. My mouth waters.
