Apple Pie Life

I made an apple pie today with the help of my granddaughter Emily. When we made the dough, I told her about her great grandmother Anne who taught me how to make the best pie dough ever. While rolling the dough with my favorite rolling pin, I mentioned how her great uncle Jack gave me the rolling pin as a gift a few years back. Once we moved on to cutting the apples and adding in the cinnamon and sugar sweetener, I spoke of her great grandmother Winne who taught me how to balance the ingredients so that the apple pie has just the right balance of tart and sweet.
Even though our loved ones have left us, no longer physically present in our conscious reality, they remain as shadows peeping into our lives when we perform tasks familiar to our co existence.
The new creation represents our new life. Adjusting to the present moment and reshaping it, without the presence of our loved ones
