nothing lasts forever

this is another page for my 52 stories project.
i tried it once a year ago, it was easier today.

Journaling: I woke up this morning feeling out of sorts. I decided to look through your recipes and make something. I hadnt handled these pages in over eleven years, as they had been in storage. I sat and looked at all the recipes your hand had lovingly written out for me. Touching them was like touching you. I decided to make Passover eggs. I had been to the market the day before and the man in produce was putting out a fresh batch of onions. I asked him for the extra skins thinking how lucky I was to be there at that time. As I lay the last egg in the pot, Erin called. She told me you had died. I covered the eggs for the long twelve hour cooking process, sat down and cried. Nothing lasts forever, you used to say. To which I would respond, except you. I guess we were both right. You are no longer with me in some ways, but in others you will live on forever. Journaled March 16, 2011.

Thanks for looking :)
this is gorgeous! your journaling is lovely! I love the recipes in my mother's handwriting too! beautiful page!
 
Adryane, this is such a beautiful work of art and such a loving tribute. Your journaling is oh so poignant, particularly coming up on the anniversary of her death. I know it still grieves you deeply, and know you are in my prayers during this time of remembrance and renewed sorrow. I know she is smiling seeing this loving and lovely LO.
 
otherworldly, A. beautiful. i can't read the journaling, but from the posts above, it's about your mom. may you find some peace. always.
 
So special - thank you for sharing. I cry every time I see a recipe in my mother's careful cursive. Your journaling says it all.
