Thank you so much. You know, as I read what you wrote, something struck me: how many people do you think have made peanut butter pie for the first time this week? I'll bet that you and I are not the only ones. I love peanut butter, but had never made PB pie before, either. And how wonderful that there are no doubt many, many "first times" going around in contrast to (and in honor of) all the "lasts" that Jennie and her girls now have to face the knowledge of. We're all guilty of losing sight of what's important and how precious each moment really is, as we rush around crossing things off our to-do lists and getting bogged down in the more petty business of living day to day. We never can know, though, if we're doing something wonderful for the last time. I am overwhelmed with all the deep thought and caring, the gifts of time and attention, flowing from the food community to one person in the attempt to help her healing. But of course, now, it's become about so much more than one person. A beautiful legacy in a way. Thanks again so much for reaching out here. Hope you have many, many beautiful moments to cherish one at a time. Tara,

Something about your comment on WhiteOnRiceCouple, caught my eye, I'm not quite sure what it was. This is a beautiful post, your pie is as lovely as the rose it shares a table with. I think everyone should have a comment on their posts, I am the first on this post and honored to be. I made my pies for Mikey today, I've never made a PB Pie. I look forward to the sweet moments and each cherished bite I will share with my husband and little boy. Our time here is short, our moments captured, few. In the day to day crazy rush and push of life I think we all lose site of this. Beautiful post Allison.
