One hot summer day, I was busy doing the dishes when my nephew Brandon walked into the kitchen, a determined look on his face. "Titi, can you cook me some steak?" he asked. I glanced around and replied, "We don't have any steak. How are we going to do that?" Without missing a beat, Brandon shot back, "I'll go buy it and I'll pay for it too." I couldn't help but smile at his resolve and said, "Ok, bet!" True to his word, Brandon left and soon returned, triumphantly holding a pack of steak. "Here it is, Titi," he announced proudly. I set to work, determined to make the best steak for him. Not long after, the house filled with smoke, and Brandon came over, concern etched on his face. "Titi, is everything okay?" he asked. I shushed him away with a smile, saying, "Your steak will be ready soon." Satisfied, he went back to his room and didn't return until I called out, "Ready!" He came bounding back into the kitchen, grabbed his steak, and with a big grin said, "Thank you, Titi." The happiness on his face was priceless. After he finished eating, he returned to the kitchen, his face glowing with satisfaction. "That was good, Titi. Thank you," he said. I chuckled and replied, "Anytime you want a steak cooked, just let me know." That moment is a cherished memory of Brandon's determination and our special bond. His joy over something as simple as a well-cooked steak is a reminder of how the small, shared moments often become the most meaningful.
