2 families in our area had babies this week, and I had the opportunity to make them meals.  When J was in treatment last year, we had so many people take time and bring us meals to help us get through.  There were so many days when I couldn't plan ahead - my brain just wasn't functioning that way.  Dinnertime would come and I would be stumped.  In the beginning, people helped with so many meals that I rarely had to think about cooking.  It helped get me to the next stage. Once I was able to function a bit, some very special people took it upon themselves to organize meals for days when J had treatment.  I don't think I could ever properly thank them, but if they are reading this they should just know that they helped me keep my sanity.  Every single meal was so appreciated and thoughtful.  I am grateful to each person who was so kind to offer.
I was asked to prepare meals.  Thank you for asking me.  Thank you for allowing me to help give to these families what so many people gave to me.
Thank you.
 
 
 
i know how you feel. my last pregnancy i was in bed for 7 months. i had a hot meal delivered to my doorstep for the family every single night. Shabbat meals too. I couldn't wait to have the baby and start cooking meals for those who needed it. it's a great feeling.
