This is a gift for some friends who lost a baby. As I took in this information I considered the fact that sometimes life is an all out battle, an all out fight, for the variety of emotions going through our veins.
A deep-seated trial within us to see the world with beauty when our sight is closing in.
My friends are very dear to me and so I felt the need to give them something; just a small token for how much sorrow that I cannot even imagine they are feeling right now.
Food doesn’t solve all problems, it can’t take a person’s loss away, but in the smallest way it can show how much you care about them and the pain they are going through.
That was the effort I put into making this cookie, with them in my thoughts.
