Today I made my risotto with tears in my eyes. Its not my story to tell. Its not even the story of a close and dear friend. But it is so sad it moves me to my core. My words are inadequate. All I can think to do is cook food for people who have no appetite. So, I cook for them and my children , with love and with tears and with a sense of appreciation of all that I have which is sharpened by another family's loss.
Today I wore my wedding ring on my ring finger. For the first time in over two years. Looking for some sort of comfort. Sentimental and foolish, I know.
Today is one of those days which will be more bearable tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteI am much better today. Sometimes its a shock to come face to face with the fragility of life. But you get over the shock and it serves as a reminder never to take anything for granted.

ReplyDeleteI saw the end of a rainbow once - only once. In a graveyard, among the graves. I think it was that that made me as superstitious as I am - which is not very, but it did have an effect.
