#Apieformikey Creamy Peanut Butter Pie Recipe

I don’t know Jennifer Perillo. We have exchanged a few friendly tweets, and I  read her blog In Jennie’s Kitchen, but I do not know her.

When I learned that her husband died suddenly of a heart attack earlier this week, I couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of sadness and compassion for her.

I too, am the  mother of 2 daughters, who  married  my college sweetheart.   I couldn’t imagine losing the love of my life in an instant, with so many years ahead that would just never be.

When I read  Jennifer’s moving  post For Mikey , my eyes began to well up with tears.  As a tribute to her husband, she offered these words:

” For those asking what they can do to help my healing process, make a peanut butter pie this Friday and share it with someone you love. Then hug them like there’s no tomorrow because today is the only guarantee we can count on.”

How true, that we just never know what life may throw our way. It is through the support and love of friends and family that helps us heal, and enable us to find the strength we need to move forward.

And so, as a gesture of love and support, I  offer this Creamy Peanut Butter Pie, that I made with my  daughter today. As we made the pie, we  talked about how fragile life is, and that we should celebrate all that is good in every day that we are together.

The pie is chilling in the refrigerator now, waiting to be enjoyed after dinner tonight with the people I love.

My heart goes out to Jennifer and her daughters as they take these first steps forward.
