Oh Rebecca, sending you extra-big hugs and holding you close in my thoughts as you remember Corey on his birthday. I hope you’re surrounded by so much love and comfort today.

May Corey's memory be your blessing. I am awed by your raw emotion captured in prose. The sense of having felt helpless and a loss pointless haunts any left behind-even those of us as distanced readers...someone once explained to me that this can best be understood for its element of 'accident.' Thinking of you and your family.

Oh, Rebecca. To think that I've been communicating with you over several months now and didn't you had lost your son. Sending lots of love to you today.

I’m sending you a hug and all my love. You are a beautiful, thoughtful person, and mamma and Corey certainly still feels the love that you send to him out in the universe. ❤️

This is a heart-wrenching and eloquently told story. As the mother of a son, I can only imagine the pain of the loss that will never leave you. But it does sound like you are able to find some solace in your memories, the love you have for your son, and the joy you’ve found in your beautiful nomadic life. Thanks for sharing it with us, Rebecca, and for the many recipes. The almond cake is definitely one I’m going to try!
