Cupcakes and Daisies

Too many thoughts to even write.  What I'd really like is to turn life's clock back to May 2, 2009, and have the next 3 years play out in a totally different way.  But obviously, that would not be God's way, and so now we keep learning to accept what is.  Treasuring the memories of the almost 23 years we had with the precious gift of Sara. 

During her months of chemo Sara discovered cooking shows on TV (along with Wheel of Fortune).  She said that since she couldn't eat, she felt like watching the shows helped her feel like she wasn't missing out on the fun of food.  One show that she particularly liked was Cupcake Wars.  We held our own variation of Cupcake Wars this week and made cupcakes in honor of Sara.  Our scotchmallow cupcakes were chocolate fudge cake filled with a shot of caramel sauce and a dollop of marshmallow creme, then topped with chocolate fudge frosting.  And of course, oreo cupcakes. . . more chocolate fudge cake, topped with an oreo, sandwiched in mounds of whipped cream.  We weren't quite sure how to incorporate the skittles. . . maybe next year!

And of course, we planted daisies.
