I made some cookies

Because I don’t know what else to do with my feelings right now.

My heart is heavy. My mind is confused. My emotions feel unstable.

So I made some cookies. Specifically, I made some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

They are delicious. They are delicious and my heart is still heavy.

My sweet boy helped me make these cookies while my heart was heavy. I smiled at him as we weighed out the ingredients. As he patiently waited to eat his cookie with his grandma. My heart still felt heavy as he squealed while I pulled them out of the oven.

I packed up a small bag of cookies to bring to a friend I was meeting for brunch. My sweet boy took a cookie for himself and his grandma. As I put on my boots with a heavy heart to go have brunch with a friend, with the bag of cookies in hand.

Because it felt like all I could offer right now. These cookies. The only way I could find a moment of peace, while my heart felt heavy.
