Today I am baking. I feel sad doing so because it's for a family that will soon lose their mom . She has cancer and she does not have long to live, so she decided to spend her final days home. She loved to bake and her husband and son miss her baked treats. The mother of my son's girlfriend asked if I could bake them blueberry muffins, I said yes and I became emotional that they even thought of me. Although it is sad, it feels good to do something that I am passionate about for this family.
