Cancelled

As you may have noticed I am catching up all my Friday Night Dinners from the notes I took last year. I hope to be up to date shortly and able to go back to the original plan of posting weekly. Up until today it has been fun.  This cancelled Friday Night Dinner is still hard for me to even think about let alone talk about.  Here it goes anyway.

I have had to cancel my plans this Friday my mother died unexpectedly on April 17th, just two days ago.  None of my sisters or I have been able to make the drive to go see my Dad yet so I am off right after I dropped the kids at school.  I need to see him and make sure he is okay.  I just can't believe this has happened.

It was nice to go and spend the day with my Dad.  I helped make some arrangements at the funeral home for next week.  I made sure he had eaten dinner tonight and I have driven back home to be with my family.  

My mother was a strong supporter of my dabbling in the cullinary world.  She wanted me to go to culinary school and see how far I could go.   She never liked anything spicy, which I love, but she was willing to try new things and believed I had talent.  I was just cooking for her a few weeks ago.  I am so happy she loved that last meal I had cooked for her. I am having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that she is gone.  

Miss you XO
