Wishing you the best in facing your own loss.

(You also were driving right by my home on your trip – live right off I83 in Southern York). I would have joined your “Cookie Love” if I had read this post to honor your mom – and all moms. Ironically, I had traveled back to my home in NJ to visit with my dad and pack up my mom’s china and a few other things that my dad had been asking my siblings and me to go through. My mom was not a big baker (though her applesauce cake was a favorite & one I make often), but she was a wonderful person who I still miss terribly. It is wonderful that you and your friends thought to celebrate your mom as you did. Also, the quote you had shared via Twitter about a loved one not being gone, just harder to see made me smile. I wanted to thank you for that. I wish you comfort at this time – know your words, shared so openly, have given comfort to others! It is clear you are following in the footsteps of your mother in caring for and reaching out to others!

My admiration is not limited to those narrow confines, though, because beneath and through all of that are more important qualities: authenticity, humility, friendliness, and openness. [...]

Mom’s recipe is the basic on from the package of Nestle Toll House chocolate chips; her only addition was adding some chopped peanuts. And lots of love.

Best of luck to your friend (I am diabetic myself and never ate many of Mom’s cookies).

This has been a tough week in and out of the hospital so our group (of friends from high school) is going to see him this weekend to cheer him up. “Make the world better one bag of cookies at a time.” What a great philosophy. Your Mom seems like a wonderful beautiful person that I would have liked to have known. And since you’re out on a boat, I guess there’s no chance of getting your Mom’s recipe to use in baking my cookies, no?
