[quote=Anonymous]I think this guy's meal train was insufferable and obnoxious.  Overall though I've both participated and been grateful enough to be the recipient.

Yes, the parents of a preschooler with leukemia weren't themselves sick, they could certainly cook.  But how nice to have a hot meal waiting when they got home from the hospital at least a few times per week.  It was that much less time and thought they had to put into a part of their lives.

A friend very suddenly lost both parents in an auto accident. Families signing up to bring meals for a week or two, not to mention helping to carpool their kids, allowed the adults to deal with momentous things surrounding such a loss and know that their kids weren't eating pb&j for two weeks.  Sometimes just sheer shock and grief can make it hard to function.

Most people I know have good hearts and want to help someone in need. Food is something that nourishes both body and soul (corny, but true). More than once I had a friend want to come see newborn DS, and said they were bringing over lunch or dinner when they came.  How nice for me, recovering from a c-section, tired and frustrated from no sleep and trouble getting breastfeeding started.  How nice for DH, to come home from work and be able to hang with me and the baby instead of grocery shopping and making dinner.  Again, we would have survived but what a nice thing for someone to do.
