Sweet When Everything Seems Sour...

As some of those close to me know this has been a rather rough fall for me.  Over the Labor Day weekend, my father got what we thought was the flu.   After his pain intensified, and a week later he wasn't any better, I pushed him into going to the ER.  Long story short (and a lot of hospital stays and tests later) we found out two days after his 52nd birthday that he has a type of T-Cell Lymphoma that is terminal.  Now, I'm not saying this to be a depressing poop, but after many weeks of upset and dealing with things, I am back to struggling with my feelings on this situation.
Let me say this:  time with our loved ones and friends is such a blessing.  We never realize how special those small moments are until that invisible clock hanging above our heads becomes opaque.  It is when we know that our time together is winding down that every moment, every second holds something we never saw before.  With that, and my unbelievably down mood, I suggest using that time wisely, and loving with abandon.
These brownies taste better than any box, any Gluten and Dairy Free mix, and just about anything edible I have ever tasted.  Enjoy them slowly and share them with someone you desperately love.  May they bring a little sugar to a sour situation.
Oh, and I promise that I will be much more cheerful next week (or sooner if I get a hair up my butt about this post).
