Living in Puerto Rico after hurricane Maria, there was almost no ice to be found anywhere. One day I was watching a friend’s baby while she got some essential things done. A few friends had stopped by and we were all chatting. All of a sudden Friend A comes running in, holding up a dripping plastic bag, yelling, “ICE! I got ICE! GET YOUR CUPS!” We all grabbed a cup and she divvied the ice out and we stood in a little circle laughing and drinking ice water in total bliss.
