In Their Words:
In October 2007, I received the phone call from my mother that she had been diagnosed with Lung Cancer.
I was shocked, scared and panicked. The hardest part about hearing the news, was that she lived in New Brunswick Canada and I lived in Florida. More difficult still, I had just returned the day before from a trip visiting her. With two young children in school, I couldn't just turn around and go back.
I was so upset and felt helpless being so far away. I needed to "Do Something". I looked into sending flowers or fruit, but nothing seemed appropriate. I wanted to show her how much I cared, and in some way comfort her.
I immediately thought of Chicken soup - it's what she (like many mothers) used to make to comfort me. And the idea for Spoonful of Comfort was born.
Just six weeks later, I lost my mother.
During her final weeks she got lots of soup and other comforts from many of her 11 siblings and close friends. She never had the opportunity to try my soup.
My Thoughts:
I was sent a Spoonful of Comfort soup gift package for my review. It came so nicely packaged. The soup came in a nice big jar as shown here. I would LOVE to receive one of these if I was sick, it would hit the spot. It was perfect even when I wasn't sick :)
The package included:
Chicken Soup - Family Size (4-6 Servings)
Made from Scratch Rolls (6)
Oatmeal Raisin Cookie (6)
The soup was delicious! It tasted so fresh, as did the rolls and cookies.
They have other things you can add to like, blankets, socks, and tea.
They would be prefect for a get well gift, college care package, new baby, holidays or corporate gifts.
