Hard Ones

Last week was a hard one. It's tough to go through something like this so close to the holidays.

I was surprised at what a big part the sharing of food played in the whole process. Every time a new sandwich tray or plate of cookies came to the door, it seemed the sadness was lifted just a little, and when we sat together to enjoy it all, our meals were filled with happy memories of her, memories we'll carry with us forever.
