Family

There's a wall in my basement coffee/dessert bar adorned by these images.  Each one represents a family member by their favourite sweet.

The lineup is by age, oldest to youngest. My son doesn't know about the wall of sweets; he's never seen it.

He hasn't seen the renovated kitchen, the rose garden, or the back deck.

And we haven't seen him.

Not since 2012 when he estranged himself from us.

I miss him.


My husband


Me

My son


My daughter

  1. I wrote a comment and then it vanished into thin air. if this is duplicated I apologize. Is that cherry cheesecake? Mmm....one of my favs as well as whatever cake that is of your husbands. Cake is my favorite food group.
    But since discovering I'm celiac I no longer can have good cake. :-(
    My husbands daughter has estranged herself as your son did. It pains him.
    I understand your situation and I'm sorry.

  6. What a fun idea. Children can be extremely hard to understand sometimes. I do wonder what planet mine came from sometimes.

  8. I hope everyone is doing well, I have some news to share today.... In the next week I am moving to NOLA and hoping this new journey will put me back into the attitude that change is good. So much to do and not enough time to do it. I am so thankful for all the wonderful people in my life (including Pedro Jerome) a loan lender that support me at all times I am excited and also worried my life has been such a downer for so long that getting out of it has been hard, but I do really feel that this change is going to be the best thing I need right now, and I have hopes that all good things do come to those that wait.
    I'm thanking a loan lender who helped me with a loan of 1 millions dollars to boost up my business once again at the rate of 2% annual return which is so wonderful, and I would like anyone stuck in financial situation to reach out to Pedro the loan lender on pedroloanss@gmail.com WhatsApp: +393510140339. For loan assistance.
    So please keep me in your thoughts, and thanks to this blog I can at least keep in contact with all of you.
