My son said that one of the things he misses about his mum at Christmas is the Belgian cookies she used to make. He said it felt horrible to think he'd never taste them again. So we decided to fix that. I found her old recipe, and he made them. A Christmas gift.

I know it's October but I'm posting now because people are starting to make plans.
For a #widow, #Christmas can be a challenge because it brings up memories. There is no right or wrong. Do what you need to do, one moment, one step, one breath at a time.
