Kerr Bear,
I’m sitting on the floor by the cabinet which holds all of your entertaining stuff. I’m pulling out your linens & charger plates to use to set the table for tonight’s dinner. Mom & Dad are visiting Issac at school and will get home late so I’m hosting. I should be hosting. You always did. You always made a beautiful table. Do I use your china or disposables? We got dinner from Catering By Michael’s ... I think I can manage heating 🙂 I probably would’ve had fun cooking it all today but instead I’m going to drive to pickup the dessert in highland park, the bagels Simon wants for lunch in Northbrook, then the lunch for tomorrow & Tuesday also in Northbrook and dinner in Morton Grove and then the rest of the stuff from Jewel. I’ll get flowers and make arrangements so it all looks nice. Bottom line... I miss you. I miss coming over to YOUR cooking and YOUR beautiful table in YOUR beautiful home. I miss how the house smelled and how you smelled and how your cooking smelled. I miss that no matter what had to come out of the oven or go in the oven, you’d stop to take a selfie with me. I miss when holidays didn’t have the unspoken hole of “you’re not here” with it. I love you. I really hope it’s possible that you and Bubby are together. That you get to have her dinner and her honey cake. I hope Bubby & Uncle Aaron are screaming at each other and Papa’s quietly watching TV (drinking a Coke). I really hope it’s possible.
I love you.
L’shana Tovah.

Oh how I wish we were going by Kerry. Not that it won’t be great at your house, but if we were going by Kerry, that would mean she is here. Oh how I miss her and wish she could have visited Issac. We will use her dishes and think of her lovingly and I also hope that Uncle Aaron, Bubby and Papa are enjoying honey cake with Kerry. Thank you for all that you do!! Love you!!
