Cooking food for someone might be one of the best ways to express your love for her or him. Some of my family members started cooking for me when they realized how ill I am. One uncle in particular cooks multiple meals then puts the food in individual, meal-sized portion aluminum containers, which he labels so I know what meal I can look forward to eating next. I store the containers in my freezer then defrost one when I’m ready to eat a delicious home-cooked meal.
Before I had surgery, my uncle was one of the sources of the red meat one of my doctors ordered me to eat to raise my hemoglobin level. I remember asking him to make me a lasagne when I came home after my surgery. When he showed up to my home he had two shopper bags filled with those aluminum containers with different meals. Tonight I’m eating chicken that my uncle made for me. As it’s been warming in my oven, the aroma of it has filled my home and it smells delicious. The smell of it reminds me of how much I’m loved.

What an amazingly thoughtful uncle you have! I don’t cook, but I feel the love of everyone who’s cooked me something. It is a great expression of love.

Thank you!
He is a wonderful person. He reminds me often of how much I’m loved and cared for by many people in my life, so I should never feel alone or that I’m bothering anyone by asking for help.
As he would say, I’m blessed not lucky 🙂
