Your comment touched me to tears! I sit in the kitchen, or rather we sit, you drink coffee, and I eat raspberries and smile so broadly that my husband looks with jealousy :D
Even though there were nine children in the family, we were connected in a very special way. I still went home a lot and she and my dad visited often, but, not the same as when we were together, shopping, laughing, cooking and having coffee or wine. It is very hard to explain I think. It goes beyond love.
Nine children!!! How wonderful! I have the only brother. When we were kids, it was often too much of him for me. But now ... we aren't in touch almost, and I miss the time when everything was okay between us. Still hope it gets better.
When we are together with my daughter Nat, we do what you talk about - shopping, laughing, playing fool or complain about our lives, cook or having meal together or wine, and that shared time together is what I miss now so much. Now we both are busy, sometimes she can call me only on her way back home after work, because "mom, I am so tired that when I get home I fall on the bed and asleep right away". And I feel so sorry for cannot make dinner for her, or a breakfast. Eh... we all know that happens one day.. )
That you so much for making my evening!! Wish you have a great day ahead!
