I do not know Jennie of "In Jennie's Kitchen", nor did I know her husband Mikey, but I do know what she is going through. The sudden loss of the man that you love most is devastating! The loving tribute she has written for her husband brought tears to my eyes. She wanted to make this pie for Mikey but did not get to do it before he passed. So she has requested her fellow bloggers to make this pie for his memory. This is what she said. “For those asking what they can do to help my healing process, make a peanut butter pie this Friday and share it with someone you love. Then hug them like there's no tomorrow because today is the only guarantee we can count on.” I have made the pie using her recipe and I am going to share it with those I love and tell them that I love them, and remind myself that I don't say that enough and yes, I will follow Jennie’s advice, I will keep in mind that TODAY is the only guarantee we can count on! What a wonderful thing she has done to memorialize her husband's life. She has reminded us the importance of expressing our love to our loved ones. And she has shared her husband's love for a pie, and her love for him, all across the blogosphere. I hope you make the pie, or another favorite, for someone you love.

This is such a lovely post, Quay Po! We all miss the people we love the most. And the pie looks delicious and isn't that a beautiful plate? Yes, it's nice to remember the people we love through food. I remember when my father died (I was 19 and it was very devastating to me), and I remember the foods he loved too. Thanks for sharing this story, very touching.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Gloria
My boys and I made a pie on Friday as well. I've been praying peace and comfort for Jennie and her family all weekend. The outpouring of love and support from the blogging community has been amazing to see.
ReplyDeletethat's really nice of you to do this! but the pie does looks really really gorgeous. I'm so glad Jennie has another blogger to share her pain as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a touching and well-written post. Your pie is a beautiful tribute.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet of you to post. I love seeing all of these posts, your pie is lovely!
ReplyDeleteHi Quay Po, beautiful posting and thats a beautiful cake.
ReplyDeleteOur life today is not a dress rehearsal. We only get to play one round.....
And life can be so unpredictable.....
And to Jennie....
What though the radiance which was once so bright.
Be now forever taken from my sight.
Though nothing can bring back the hour....
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flowers,
We will grieve not.
Rather find strength in what remains behind.
Best regards, keep a song in your heart.
Lee.
Such a lovely tribute for Mikey and beautiful pie you made, Veronica!
ReplyDeleteSo touching to read your post, and you also losing your first husband when you were so very young.
You've been blessed the second time in your marriage...your strength and courage to raise your child when he was so little is remarkable.
I did not know Jennie either, but my daughter did, and she also did a lovely tribute for her, as well!
I would like to invite you to join in the fun with the 7 Links.
Just stop by my blog to check out the tag. You've been tagged, my fiend!
xoxo
What a gorgeous post! Both the writing and the beautiful pie are truly heartwarming.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing!

ReplyDeletei love this. you're sweet!
ReplyDeleteand your pie turned out beautifully.
@Kak Love
ReplyDeleteGood to see you. Long time no hear. Yes, never wait for tomorrow when have today. In Jennie's case, tomorrow did not come. It is sad.
@mNhL
You are so right, hope what happened to Jennie reminds us to treasure our love ones while they are still here.
@Diane
Somehow or other, time like this will come, we just got to roll with the punch although easier said than done.
@Beinda
Thanks.
@Shirley
I hope the support Jennie receives from the blogging community will help her in her healing process.
@tanna
Yes we need this reminder but hopefully not when we lose someone we love.
@createwithmom
Thanks.
@suituapu
You know what, you should inform her what to cook for you now:D
@neyeeloh
I am sure many of us feel Jennie's pain
@Anu

Nice poetry for Jennie. Thanks
@Elisabeth
I will check out the tag later. I have been busy with the renovation of my condo but I will definitely join in the fun. Thanks for tagging me.
@That Girl
I wonder if we have clubs like this here. The reason why you see the clubs everywhere when one joined is probably because one is more observant and aware.
Great tribute to one loving and great blogger. Your pie sound so tasty, and looks divine.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful thought and a beautiful tribute. We'll gladly make this pie in honor of Mikey's memory

Great Pie and Post! Love the little flowers on top!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post Quay Po. You know all too well what Jennie is going through. For some of us, what she is going through scares the heck out of us. Enjoy the pie and the time with your family.
ReplyDeletemeaningful!! and i like how positive Jennie's attitude is, kudos!! i can't bake, so perhaps i can just go and get a peanut butter pie or something to celebrate life.. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a heartfelt post, Veronica. There was no blogging when my husband passed away many years ago. I still miss him.
ReplyDeleteNo words can comfort at the moment but jennie should know there are those who pray for her and her family.
Your pie is simply gorgeous...
Thank you so much for sharing...
I tried to write a comment earlier but it didn't work so going at it again. i cannot say how moved I am at this given the circumstances. I didn't know jennie or her husband but could only imagine. it makes me so proud to be a part o the blogging community. even a simple "yum great pie" makes the biggest difference in my opinion. I get so excited to see a comment from someone that i may never even meet.
ReplyDeleteyum great pie
I just want to let you know that I've tagged you in a 7 link Challenge game. I hope you can make it! More info on my blog!

ReplyDelete@Carolyn
