Wednesday afternoon, Lindsay received a phone call from her sister. She said that her grandfather's nursing home called the family to be by his side. Lindsay packed & left immediately. Sadly, he passed away at 6:00 that evening.
I started feeling under the weather on Monday. By Wednesday, I was going down hill fast so I went to the doctor. I have a viral infection & swollen lymph nodes. Most viruses are immune to antibiotics so this just has to run it's course. As the week goes on I feel worse.
When anyone I know is sick, I always make them homemade chicken noodle soup. What ever is left over I freeze so that if I need it for someone in an instant, or if I get sick myself, I have it on hand. Well, just before Christmas when Linds was so sick, I made a pot for her. We didn't have enough left to freeze so when I found myself sick this week, I made a pot. Comfort in a bowl I tell 'ya. When I want nothing else, I'll eat this chicken noodle soup.
This Sunday, Brian, Justin, & I are heading to Corpus so we can attend Gandy's funeral Monday morning. Sunday evening Lindsay and I will be preparing a soup bar with 4 or 5 different soups for about 30 people. We're hoping it'll be a bowl of comfort to her family as they sit and recall wonderful memories of her grandfather.

The next time someone you love is feeling under the weather, make them a pot of homemade chicken noodle soup. They'll be immensely appreciative that you took your time to bring them a little comfort.
