A lovely piece. I think food and drink are very evocative of people who we've lost, because so often we shared special times with them built around meals or drinks or parties. I lost my Dad a few years ago and only today I was thinking about my annual tradition of buying the best bottle of wine I can afford on his birthday and raising a glass to him. Good luck on your journey - it sounds like you are building some really good foundations and visions for the future.
