3/3
15 minutes later my brother texts “hey mom wants to make sure you wanted her ITALIAN meatball recipe because thats what she gave you”. It was. They were fucking delicious. It was the last time I spoke to her. Thanks mom, the wet bread and parmesan made all the difference.
@MPCavalier great story. So sorry for your loss.
May her memory be a blessing to you. 💕
@MPCavalier I’m sorry for your loss of your amazing mom. I love this story, what a beautiful memory. Have you seen the headstones where they carve in a family heirloom recipe? Something to think about maybe. 🌹
@BeccaL
I am trying to convince my brothers to put “Unapologetic Badass” on her headstone. In a Jewish cemetery, she’d be the talk of the afterlife.
@MPCavalier @BeccaL if people can put an entire cookie recipe on a headstone, you should be able to put "Unapologetic Badass" on it.
@MPCavalier my brother wants “Asshole” on his. That’s what all his friends call him. He walks into the bar and everyone hollers “asshole”. Bro thinks it’s a hoot. He’s pushing 80 so he might get his wish soon.
I’m so sorry for your loss 💜
Your mom sounds like an extraordinary woman who left a special family legacy.
Your story of your final conversation is so touching—her essential caretaking drive was present all the way to the end. What a gift to all of you 💜
@Minholkin
yeah - i am so glad it was something of substance, a shared love of cooking, and not just a perfunctory discussion about how everyone was doing. Thank you so much...
@MPCavalier
it's tough to lose a mom...
take care
