after the death of the son of friends of ours we're now confronted with the death of one of Mias teachers... it was the first time for us to confront Mia with the death of somebody she really knew well and I know she really loved to have as a teacher. there is only a few of them she'd come home and tell me about and he was one of them...
when we told her she went mad and was angry and it was obvious she wanted to fight against the truth. luckily her anger didn't last too long and we had a talk about life and death the same evening curious to find out about after death but happy to live and hoping we'll experience it late in our lives...with the natural wish that Mum and Dad will never ever die...
besides this tragedies we're enjoying spring...meaning nice weather and fresh fruit and vegetables. I found out that cooking really calms me and makes me feel grounded. and I learned that this might be true for a lot of people...as it is something we normally do every day it does ground us in situations we feel uncomfortable. so a friend of mine who stayed here in Cairo through the whole "revolution" told me that she felt great whenever she was in her kitchen cooking during those days.
so no surprise I find myself cooking the most delicious meals during crazy times and of course it's also eating those yummy things that makes us feel comfortable and safe...
