A bloggy friend of  Ilina  sent me an Facebook invite earlier this week.  Finally today I read it.  As I read the invite it was to make a Pie for Mikey.

I read further clicking on the link to Jennifer Perillo post, the picture a hand with a ring…I related to the picture because his hands was the first thing I loved of my husband,  I knew my preemie daughter was ours  because they were my husbands hands. Such a lovely picture..

I don’t know Jennifer I am not a regular reader of her blog In Jennies Kitchen.  Jennifer lost her husband Mike suddenly this past weekend.  Leaving her with her 2 young daughters. I looked at Jennifer twitter feed  one second she is talking about cooking the next.. he is gone. I cried.   She touched me and broke my heart. Life is wonderful then it smashes apart.

Jennifer’s beautiful blog post told of there last date.  One of the things Jennifer and Mikey discussed prior was that she wanted to make him a peanut butter pie. Jennifer asked that readers make the Peanut butter pie and share it with people we love.  So In honor of her love for  Mikey…

I made the pie.

My daughter came in and said “Mom who you making the pie for”

I said “I am making it in honor of a Friend who lost a someone they love.”

She said “oh and left” the room.

Then she came back later and said “Mommy someday can you make that Pie for us?”

I said “Sweetie this pie is for us. My friend asks  We are to eat the pie with the people we love. ” I continue ..”and you are someone I love”

“Goodie,  when will it be ready.. if it is ready in the middle of the night can we get up and eat it!”

So I make this pie for my Husband, My Kids, Family and Friends on and off line.

May Jennifer and her girls find some peace.

God Bless you and those you love.

*I did sub the crust and added cut-up peanut butter cup
