I so enjoyed reading this post! That turkey looks divine! And how I envy your goose feast. You also made me want to crack out my wok. And I agree with you about presents. I buy things for my loved ones when I see something I think they'd like, and when I MUST find presents, I settle for things they don't need. But like your kids, mine also understand. :)

I, too, am a bereaved mom. I love to see how others navigate after such a profound loss. Grief and joy can share the same table, and it is lovely that you have a community that helps you do that. Food is your love language.

Such a descriptive story of your Boxing day feast...especially after I interrupted it by phone. I felt as I was in the warm kitchen for the last few days with your special family.

I just came from a screening of Hamnet with my grandson. It’s an amazing film—birth, loss, grief, and carrying on. You were much in my thoughts, Naomi. Also some very powerful acting.

I've heard very cotrasting/contradictory reviews of the film. Hmmm and 🧡🧡❤️
