My wife just made a Banana Loaf, full sugar and flour goodness. Smells amazing... just like my mum used to make. That unfortunatley upset me a little as my mum passed away about 8 years ago. The smell and thought of being good and not having any, then thought of my mum, all got to me a bit........

Not good timing, as new baby is due in 5 weeks, so thought about mum and dad (passed away about 3 years ago) not being here for that, then mum not seeing my little boy (4 years old), did not see my get married either. I hate moments like that.

Anyway, ok now and no did not give in and have some, though thats really hard.
 
Awww bless, your Mum was a special lady, she brought you into the world, and I can tell she did a pretty good job raising you, she lives on you know, in your heart, in your children, in your new baby, I have sent you a PM, a little story that I find very comforting when I think of loved ones I have lost.

All the best to you and your family and hope all goes well with the new baby

Hi, yeah I am going to, though it was more a memory thing, but intend to make all the great stuff here :D
 
Your Mum and Dad will live on in your new baby. They are part of you and your child.

Foods and smells can be very poignant reminders of the past. I totally empathise with your reaction.

Can't believe you didn't have a tiny taste!!

My wife took it I work today and left a slice for my little boy, I must confess to having a small qtr (size if a custard cream) of it just to taste I did use a generous blob of butter (would normally have done that anyway) I waited for a low BG level 5.8 before having it :D
 
I had some banana loaf when on holiday and it shot my figures up. At home I make banana loaf with banana flavouring, much kinder on the old BG.
 
I know what you mean about things reminding you of Mum. Mine passed away about 6 years ago and I still think "Oh, mum would like this" when I'm in the supermarket and see something different from the usual. I inherited a love of cooking from her and my sone still talks about Nana Mary when he's cooking. Good luck for the birth of the new baby. :thumbup:
 
Hi Bio,

Well done for not giving in :thumbup: I know how you feel re the baby and your Mum and Dad. My Mum was not here to see me married or to see my son. Also My Nana ( the lady who raised me from 7yrs old ) had died when I was 22 weeks preggers. I would have loved for them to have been a part of it. I try where possible to tell my son a little about them and will expalain more when he is older. So lovely that your baby will soon be here. :)
