The Show Must Go On

Sometimes all you need is a warm cup in your hands, a forkful of sweet chocolate cake and a listening friend to make the pain go away. No matter how fleeting, such moments suddenly mean so much more to me, even more so when I know that there's no more turning back to everything. And so you look ahead, pushing yourself, knowing that life must go on.


I would like to thank everyone for their kind words, at least most of them were. It was definitely not all about me, for whatever happened I'm sure we both had our part to play in it. But all I want to say here is that I hope you will always remember that it was our love that started this blog, this blog that we once shared. To many, it's just awash with words and pictures of food. To me, I hear the sounds too - the tinkling of the spoons, the hum of pleasure as you savour your desserts, your laughter - and I can still remember as well the different smells that would slowly tease and entice our senses. For all of that, thank you for the memories.


Of course I had to ask myself if this blog could go on now that things are so different. There might not be as much going on as before, and I can also imagine just how much the posts of yesterdays would remind me of the past. Yet given all that has already been done, I think the decision that I have to make is clear: that the show must go on. It may not be easy, but it will be something that could help me cope with all that has happened, to deal with the pain of letting go and to heal the wounds with time. I hope things will turn out all right.

I really do.
