After going through the most horrendous and challenging time of my life, I was greeted at the airport last night by Reg holding these beautiful flowers. I fell into his arms crying, quivering and so grateful that first phase of the mourning process was over.
My mom took this photo soon after we moved to Toronto from Montreal. I am sitting beside my sister Jamie who looks just as shellshocked as I do in this photo so I wasn’t sure she would want me to share.
I am feeling quite similar to the little girl I was back then. In shock although now I have a real mixer, not a plastic toy. It is going to take a while to get over the surrealism of being back after spending three months going through hell.
Lucky me I have Reg to cheer me up and help me back on my feet. This was the longest we had ever been apart and I am so happy to be back together.
Reg lived on boxed foods while I was away and I spent so much time at greasy spoons, I am hoping to experiment with smoothies and salads all summer long and share them with you too!
Time to rest, heal and eat real food again. Not to mention blog!!! I have missed you!
That is our Reg….a man whose heart is as big as yours! Hang in there darling girl.
Welcome back Suzie!!
What a sweetheart to know just what you needed when you came home. Welcome back!

Welcome back to the blogosphere, Suzie.
I’ve been thinking of you a lot over the last couple of weeks since hearing your news. It’s such a terrible blow to lose a beloved parent. I know that cooking and baking will help heal your pain. And of course Reg, that sweetie.
Sending you healing thoughts my foodie friend. We missed you too.
Welcome back
Good to see you hun. {gentle hug}
Welcome back, my friend. Good food always helps in healing, as well you know.
Good to see you back, finding your equilibrium again. Take it easy… time and the grieving process will unfold the way it needs to.
Give yourself lots of self-care and patience.
(((hugs)))
