coming together

It doesn't happen often
but, oh...
when it does.
Like a final fare-thee-well
to winter
(unplanned but special none the less)
celebration
we prepared the food...
 James grilling the pork chops
while I created
Creamy Cauliflower & Broccoli Casserole
which stood as the main 
for me.
Table set.
Candle lit.
Family called to gather
'round.
Saying a prayer
 as fast as we can
and 
"digging in."

Talking.
Laughing.
Sharing.
M-m-m's.

Breaking the bread.
together.

Tripping upon the perfect pairing
as they dip their cutlets
in the creamy
sauce.

Going for seconds.
One minute wanting winter
to end...
the next holding these
meals
cloaked in darkness
so close to my
heart.
Knowing they too
will change with the 
sun.
