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.
