I am moved and astounded at the emotion and clarity you bring to suffering loss, moving me to tears, and wrapping it in gratitude. You are a beautiful and gifted writer and this essay is worth holding onto.

Just lovely, Pat! Thanks so much for sharing and so beautifully written. I have your cookbook and it too is lovely. Your writing exudes the feeling of the South. It is a gift.
