Maybe we're not meant to get it just right. Maybe we're just meant to
make something tasty, but always know that it was not as good as our
"Moms."

Just a suggestion: maybe the "moms" here might make up a recipe box
with index cards and give their kids recipes to the things they love
most (as gifts). As the years go by, just keep adding more index cards
with more of their favorites and when your gone, your kids will always
feel good when they see them and your handwriting.

Thanks everyone so very much!
