janie, I am reading a wonderfully/terribly sad book right now about a young man dying of AIDS. He's originally from Arkansas and now lives in NYC, and is nearing the final stages of his wretched illness. His Mom has just decided to visit him- something he'd been praying for for many, months. He wished to see her so they could make ammends before he passed. She's a hard woman of few words, and this makes apologies and new possibilities for healing that much more difficult. How does she end up telling her son she's sorry for her part of their years-long estrangment? She stands at the stove as he watches and makes his favorite meal: pan-fried pork chops, mashed potatoes & cream gravy and sliced red tomatos.
 
How sad...
Reminds me of my Mom. She had asked for me to make her green beans with new potatoes but she passed away before she could have them.
