bitter-sweet pecan pie

Holidays can be so bitter sweet. I am reminded how the circle of life stops for no one. My loving Grandmother is feeling the effect of being on the other end of that circle, and for the first time in 53 years she is not planning on cooking one single thing for Thanksgiving. Now, I’m not saying that she should, especially if she doesn’t feel like it, but what is Thanksgiving without your grandmother’s pecan pie?!
She purchased a couple of pre-made pies from the store and is going to bring them and a warm smile. I know that it could be even worse next year. We could be without her smile. Her time here is getting shorter and I understand that, it’s just not as easy to swallow as her pecan pie. I already miss her.
