Looking back on last summer.

I was at 5 months this time last summer, and the kids and I had not had a single home cooked meal by then. We either ate with friends or relatives, or went out to eat.

It wasn't the cooking part that had me freaked out, it was the sitting at the table with an empty place. I just couldn't face it at that time.

It wasn't until school started back up last year that we went back to eating at home. It forced us back into a daily pattern, and I was actually ready for that next step by then.

I prepared in advance by buying a new tablecloth and placemats, and shopped for a week of easy meals. After the first couple of meals it was OK.

But his place still seems so empty, even now...
