Who knows - maybe one day if you do go to culinary school you can open up something kid related - name it after your children - and make all kinds of kiddos happy. I think that would both honor your children and make them extremely proud of their awesome Mom. From the little I've read to this point - you seem exactly the kind of person who can do this!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175052726850101879.post-73371665182273694232009-09-08T09:54:43.644-04:002009-09-08T09:54:43.644-04:00Amy,
Following your passions and living life to th...Amy,<br />Following your passions and living life to the fullest is honoring your children. A profession doesn't make you. I understand your need to make your every breath about Kate and Peter, but please understand that the fact that you are putting one foot in front of the other instead of giving up is honoring them. Your strength honors them. Your courage to get up every morning honors them. If it means going to culinary school only to hone your existing talents for personal satisfaction or using that talent as a profession, then do it. If it means falling in love again and having more children, then do it. Kate and Peter would not want you to censor yourself or be chained to the status quo because you are fearful that you will somehow forget their importance in your life if you do something different. They told you that it wasn't your time and you were meant to do something different......they didn't say 'do it for us, mama'. Kate and Peter live on in the hearts of so many people that will never forget them, and if for one moment you feel satisfied, that doesn't mean you have forgotten them either. Open that door when you are ready and walk through it. Peter and Kate will be right with you. <br /><br />Love you,<br />HeatherHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10671020335806411421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175052726850101879.post-61970161216014859142009-09-06T23:01:33.474-04:002009-09-06T23:01:33.474-04:00Amy,

I have had a hard time justifying this lately, but I think that is the only way I can survive in this world with all of the crazy and meaningless things that go on. What I am trying to say is that I believe you will find that reason someday, as impossible as that may seem. Take care.<br />-Jenn O.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175052726850101879.post-77695209458866916952009-09-06T17:00:50.023-04:002009-09-06T17:00:50.023-04:00Kate and Peter both changed this world so much - m...Kate and Peter both changed this world so much - more in their 6 and 4 years of life than some 70-80 year olds have done. They changed my life, and continue to do so.

Think of all the people who are no longer around that still impact others' lives. <br /><br />I believe that any career/job can have an impact on others. If this is something you feel passionately about, you should go for it. And I bet once you get into it, you will come up with a way to honor them, whether it is a restaurant, a signature dish, or a cookbook in their names (though, as Erica says, doing something with love pretty much honors your kids). <br /><br />I also agree with Jennie; although I may not be parenting my child better because of you (I suck at discipline), I know I am appreciating her and the moments we have more than I would had it not been for what you have gone through.Faciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12165861407055831754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175052726850101879.post-29958803909285622092009-09-04T18:37:00.014-04:002009-09-04T18:37:00.014-04:00PS

Such as the chocolate chip zuccini muffins, the zuccini choc. chip cookies, animals made out of food, the list would go on. They would be thrilled for you cooking for others as a profession. even if it was a small cafe. <br />:)Bondi Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02596346018970566941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175052726850101879.post-47325235661833619702009-09-04T14:36:21.140-04:002009-09-04T14:36:21.140-04:00Amy,

I am in awe of all of the loving messages and stories I have read about them over the past several months. Clearly, they touched many, many people and many people are better because of them. <br /><br />And though I can't really articulate it the way I want to, I feel like I am parenting my own children better because of this.<br /><br />Thinking of you always,<br />JennieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175052726850101879.post-37259986928160260262009-09-04T12:47:33.282-04:002009-09-04T12:47:33.282-04:00Mother Teresa said: "We can do no great thing...Mother Teresa said: "We can do no great things, only small things with great love."<br /><br />Maybe no matter what you do, it's doing it with love that makes the difference and truly honors the love between you and your children...<br /><br />Thinking of you lots, Amy.
