The news came when I was reading a post on one of my favourite blogs titled: Video for Jennifer Perillo: Mikey’s Peanut Butter Pie.
I did not know Jennifer but I know a lot of people that have lost someone precious in their life, including me. Nothing prepares you for the emotional shock of losing someone close to you. You wake up one morning and you wish it was bad dream. The days following the news are filled with anger, sadness, guilt, denial and you are not ready to accept this lost. People will tell you that life must go on but sometimes you feel that life has stopped. Everyone will react different to a lost. It may take years to heal. Sometimes the pain will never go away. You learn to cope with it. Holidays, birthdays will never be the same. When life takes that precious person away from your life you feel so empty. You wish that this day had never come. You start thinking about what you should have done with this person, what you should have told her. Sadly you can’t go back in time. Hopefully you will take some time, today, to reflect on your life and to cherish your loved ones. Take the time to tell them that you love them. Hug them because that could be the last hug that you will ever give them.
I’ve baked those peanut butter brownies for Mikey and for everyone that I have lost in my life.

Your words are especially delicious for my soul though~
Tears fill my eyes as I read this post. Such a wonderful way celebrate his memory. My heart breaks for her and her children.
Thanks! It is not always easy to dig into those heartfelt memories.
Both happy and sad memories are associated with food! These brownies are so good.
Hugs for you. And more hugs. The photo is really impressive...you did this one proud!!
I saw a number of brownie dedications and thought the outpouring was amazing.
A very sweet nod to Jennifer, the loved ones you miss in your life and anyone else who may have experienced this.
I'm sure everyone that you have loved and lost in your life knew just how special they were to you and how much they meant to you. While we never *get used* to the loss, over time, the memories of the moments we were able to share eventually bring smiles more than tears.
This was a beautiful post and your brownies look delicious.
first of all I am so glad you are back.I was missing your recipes girl! Secondly these brownies look amazing. I feel the same way you do. I didn;t know Jenny but I feel horrible about what happened and it truly makes us all take a step back and realize what is most important in our lives. I made a pb pie for her too- will post it later this week! Again, glad to see you back!
